Pre-launch Checklists.

Don

A check list is there to confirm that certain actions
have been completed, and pick up those that have not.

Having the item 'E-eventualities' at the end of the
checklist need not be a prompt for a lecture. The
response to 'E' could simply be 'as briefed'.

Can't see any logical argument for removing it.

Going through
a long list of things with the canopy shut in the winter
means you mist up and in the summer you cook. If these
items are hurried because of either of these two factors
they are of less benefit . Are glider pilots really
that stupid that they cannot grasp the necessities
of good airmanship and hold them in their brains long
enough to take the correct action. I have always done
an eventualities check but as part of my pre flight
brief/self brief.
