Funny thing about checklists...you gotta use 'em.

I'm very conscientious in my use of checklists. I use the ABCCCDWD
(altimeter, belts, controls, cable, canopy, divebrakes, wind, Dead (as
in "will kill you dead if you do something stupid"). I use USTALL in the
landing pattern. Undercarriage, spoilers (yeah, I know its not
consistent with D for divebrakes), trim, airspeed, lookout, land. Works
for me...usually.


I was taught USTALL also, but after landing with water ballast a couple
of times have modified it to BUSTALL, which is not only more useful
but also prophetic if you don't use it!
