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.

Neither of those had a gear check?

Unless R stands for "Retractable?"

Why would you need a gear check for takeoff?

Oh good lord, man.

To make sure they're down!

I would have thought the difficulty in turning the engine over would
suffice. Though I bet it's been tried!

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.

Bertie

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

Any others? One of the instructors here uses "Lights, Camera, Action"
when cleared to enter the runway. (Strobe, Transponder, release
brake/roll)
