Five months in jail (and PTSD) - pilot found criminally negligentfor not following a preflight checklist
As fun and rewarding as hang gliding is it is missing one important thing that sailplane pilots use.
There is not a culture of using a written, rigid check list. Yet, like us, they assemble their craft before every flight.
Many sailplane pilots have never used a written checklist either, I for
one have NEVER used a WRITTEN checklist.
Most people I have seen struggle to assemble their gliders do use checklists, hmmm.....
I used to be a hangglider pilot also so I guess that's where I picked it up.
