Default Distractions? Very distracting.

In a previous article, Jay Honeck said:
"Doors latched" is one of my checklist items. I just push on the
door(s), and if one opens, I latch it.


Same here. Although, since we usually have the kids in the back (and
a spouse in the right seat), so the last thing we call out before
advancing the throttle is "Door latched and seat belts on?"


I *looked* at the door and it appeared latched. From now on, I'm going to
shove on it instead of just looking.
