If I’m current & comfortable, from memory, then a quick glance at the checklist to ensure all that I’ve done is per checklist.
If I’m not current, checklist all the way.
-
As my “memory” most times eludes me these days, I keep the checklist handy at all times
Though in RL checklists are mandatory before you even approach the aircraft, unless your flying a Red jet……LOL!!!demer

Memory. Love the three sweep process.
-
a german combat pilot told me, in their squad they were free to chose between two ways:
- read-and-do the c/l
- by heart, thereafter verify with c/l
personally, when simming, i do it by heart. using sweeps, it is easy to build a routine and be very quick. after some time, you start to notice, if a switch is not where it is supposed to be anyway.
(most of the time :))cheers,

What’s this supposed to mean?
-
Since I once forgot a major one on a Lowland Tigermeet mission (air source to Norm) where I lost the jet, I always use a checklist.
-
sounds like it’s gonna make a difference in the future. I welcome this very much!

What’s a Ramp Start ? Cant find it on the check list.

Maybe they mispelled ?

You should spoiler that, or someone should mark this thread NSFW.

Of all those who do ramp starts, how many do the system tests which are unnecessary?
-
on rampstart always by heart… but i verify everything at least once before take off…
all system checks as per red dog’s checklist by heart even the unnessesary ones… you never know if they will operate in a future version… -
I do all the ‘unneccessary checks’ which never fail. Even air refueling checks are done, even if for that flight I’m not going to air refuel.
I would even do the O2 checks, but the switches don’t work other than the OXY BIT. -
I tend to just do the quick version of a ramp start. I don’t really get much time to play anymore so i usually end up going straight to runway, but hopefully in the next few weeks life will slow down a bit and I’ll have more time to get back into it.

personally, i skip system tests, as long as random failures arent implemented.
the question remains anyway, what would be the consequences of random failures?
fly anyway? call “maintenance” and consult a minimum equipment list to decide whether you can go on mission with the failure : ) ? cancel the flight and get “mission success”, because you found the error? get another airplane?cheers,

that is a good question… i 've had a flameout 2-3 times during combat(one of those cost me my A/C) but nothing serious… i think most of the faults during ramp will be solved by running the test again…(ie flcs bit fault…) other than that… i don’t have a clue…!
-
It could be the airsource not being set to Norm. It happened to me (see previous posting) and I got a flame-out while pulling g’s.

Not Airsource, Engine feed. Airsource will create TRP fuel, not the same thing.
