Rule number one is FLY THE PLANE. After you have it in a stable glide and
are flying towards your chosen landing site, then get your checklist out. IF
you have time! Part of the test is to see that you make good descisions
under changing circumstances. Your DE would rather see you stay cool and
land the plane than get distracted with the checklist and not make the
field.
