I have always thought a written checklist would be a great idea. People asking questions can get to be a big distraction - especially if you enjoy answering them. I have taxied out before and just felt uneasy even though I knew I didn't leave anything out of my preps. I find myself tugging on wings - triple checking air, valves, plugs, rates, etc......
I agree that is a real perk at Jet Meets - everyone knows when to chat it up and when to shut up.
Anyone want to share their checklist?
