User:Ac001/Checklist Tutorial
Every Pilot has a checklist, and an "idiot test" to ensure the pilot's have not missed anything.
Checklists
Similar to a car journey, there are some idiot check's along the way to ensure the enviroment safe.
And as both experienced and un-experienced pilots there would be some issues that can cause problem, such as landing without the gear down, or frozen fuel because gear was not up mid ocean.
That is why pilots, whatever flavour have checklists.
These are by designed to ensure accidents do not happen, and for safety.
Within a modern cockpit and PF, PNF there is a dailog wherby the checklist is "checked of" with one "speaking the fact" and the other "confirming" the idiot check.
The "sheet" is normally a laminated charts
