I thought the whole point of checklists was that individual steps should not have to be remembered.
E.g. every doctor and nurse knows how to put in a catheter. Yet explicit checklists save lives.
If you have to remember the individual steps, it sounds like you are not using a checklist? Aren't they printed somewhere?
- FabHK 5y agoSome checklists include memory items - things that ought to be done immediately, without delay caused by looking up a checklist. An engine failure scenario is one where you don't want to spend time getting out the checklist. For the engine checks, you develop a flow from one area of the cockpit to the other, basically touching everything related to the engine. For a Cessna 172 you'd check fuel selector valve, alternate air intake, fuel shutoff valve, throttle, mixture, carb heat (if equipped), engine instruments, ignition switch, magnetos, fuel pump (if equipped).
