My club is considering implementing a wing runner checklist. The wing runner would perform this mental checklist at some point before they give the Begin Takeoff signal.



"CATP"



Canopy....CLOSED AND LOCKED (to the best of their judgement)

Airbrakes....CLOSED AND LOCKED (to the best of their judgement)

Taildolly.....REMOVED

Pattern.....CLEAR



A FEW QUESTIONS....

1. I heard about this at the 2012 SSA convention in Reno. Does anybody know which club has implemented the checklist?



2. Have any of you implemented this or a similar wingrunner checklist?



3. Pros & Cons?



Thanks,

Why would you do this after attaching the rope/cable rather than before? In the UK it is normal practise for the wingrunner to ask 'Brakes closed and locked?' before attaching. The All Clear obviously comes later.
