Interesting that no one references the recommended checklist as posted in
the FAA Glider Pilots Handbook which surely the DPE might reference if the
glider in which one is taking a check ride does not have its' own published
check lists. Many don't.

Oh.. and that placard found in many Schweizer aircraft... is it required? Is
the glider airworthy if it is missing?
But that's another thread.

Seems to me that it's been a while since we had a good brouhaha over
pretakeoff checklists. Most of use use either ABBCCCDDE (or is it
AABBCCDDE? Or ABBBCCCCDDEEFG?) or CBSIFTCB or some other variant. I'm
curious what you use and WHY? What have you added or subtracted to
the "base" checklist to fit your specific glider or operation, or to
prevent problems you have encountered.

I personally use CBSIFTCB in all the gliders I fly. After that is
complete I'm OK hooking up the rope, then I review WET (Wind,
Emergency, Traffic) and give the signal to launch.
