These guys are probably the same ones that tell you that since it's a
school plane, you can use the "abbreviated preflight checklist" and just
check for fuel and oil before going up.

If your students never plan to fly any plane besides the one that they were
trained it, it MIGHT be OK to abbreviate the checklist to cover only those
items that are "applicable" to their plane.

But if you want to train someone to be a good pilot, you build good habits,
which may include checking things that are easy to "assume".

JMHO..

How many people do / teach doing a full before landing checklist when
doing pattern work? I do with my students, but other cfi's I work with
use a quick / abbreviated one for our Cessna 172/152
