That's why the BGA has every ab initio in the UK religiously
checking the flaps on a K13 every time they launch.

My God! (that's the religious bit)

I don't think I've ever seen a K13 with flaps.
True, but they check them just in case...

And they are checked in a K21...

....and in an SZD Junior, Discus and Pegasus at my club, at least
by me - and in my Standard Libelle.

I see no reason to deviate from the standard CBSIFTCBE checklist,
so "Flaps: not fitted" accompanied by a glance to see that there
is indeed no flap handle is part of my checklist for a non-flapped
glider.

This has the benefit of keeping instructors happy on check rides
without straining my brain to remember what checklist is expected as
compared with what I might do or say when no instructor is present.
