Pre-launch Checklists.

The US "ABCCCDE" checklist seems to be a Schweizer thing - it's
placarded in the horrible things! Unfortunately, it is not really well
organized for more advanced gliders - no specific reference to flaps,
for example.

After transitioning from power to gliders via 2-33s and Blaniks, I
discovered the British "CBSIFTCB" on my own via Piggott. A much better
reminder for the ships I usually fly, especially since it leaves the
canopy and brakes to the end - important in hot weather. I now use it
for every glider I fly - especially 2-33s!

Note: Ballast can refer to both that required for proper CG (usually a
2-seater thing - and this is meant to be a check that you DID install
or remove it), or to the presence/absence of water ballast, which would
require adjustment of takeoff speeds, technique, etc..

Wonder what the Germans, French, Poles etc. use?
