Hi, I was wondering what the acronym GUMPS stood on a landing
checklist.
Larry

Gas Undercarriage Mixture Prop

Never heard the S before.

There used to be CIGARTIP

Which was:

Controls, Instruments, Gas, Altimeter. can't remember the 'R',
Trim
'I'
I don't know either and Props

Good one for simple lightplanes is CIGMFT. (Cig means fine
tobacco)

Controls Instruments Gas Mixture Flaps Trim.

Betie

Neither of those had a gear check?

Unless R stands for "Retractable?"

Why would you need a gear check for takeoff?

Bertie

Thought you were answering the OP, where he asked for the Landing
checklist...

I never do GUMPS on takeoff -- the T/O checks would be something like
TBSMCPMPTHFFR, which isn't a very useful mnemonic...


Cigmftt for any thing up to a twin Beech always worked fo me. The extra
T was for the tailwheel lock. The 3 was two crew anyway, so we used a
read and challenge for that, but it wasn't much more than that.
