Default Checklist exchange

Everybody's using checklists. I've started with the stuff from POH, plus
whatever my instructor recommended, and then over time more and more little
things got added to them out of experience. Yet more things got added as I
started my instrument training. The basic stuff is probably not so interesting
since it is everywhere. What is indeed interesting, I think, is those little
things that other people may have in their checklists that I don't have --
stuff that's grown out of individual mistakes. Often you can arrange things in
such a way that it makes making a mistake more difficult and so on.
I'm going to proceed and publish here some of my C172 checklists. If that
turns out to be interesting, I also have my RG/complex checklists for Cutlass.
Hope this is going to result in a fruitful exchange of information...
