What's the bi-annual flight review all about?

YOu and I were taught by different people. A checklist is just that ...
a step by step list of todos so that you don't forget something. It is
very easy for the mind to go through a "familiar list" and be so rote
that you really DID think you were on both mags when you were only on
one.

I agree with Jim on this point, IMHO consistent use of WRITTEN check (or
to-do) lists is evidence of personal discipline and application of
good/accepted/required procedure, which can be a good indicator of
training and safety attitude. Here in Canada, failure to use a written
checklist for run-up and pre-takeoff items will result in failure of most
flight tests.

The use of written checklists is beginning to be required in many other
non-aviation mission critical activities.
