Default Checklist

Everyone knows the gear can't come up while taxiing anyway, no matter what
you do with the switches.

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?

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...
