It should not have to be on any company's checklist. Some things are
basic airmanship.


Not after having the basic stuff trained out of them.....
Follow the check list, follow the checklist, follow the checklist........

get the idea?

I think I do.~ I did it for 27 years. Placing the runway heading on a
steam gauge HSI was considered good form at my company, but certainly
not a checklist item.
