Checklist Mnemonics

[Casey Wilson]

Whilst wandering around the cyber-wastelands the other day, I came
across http://socal.pilotinside.com/tools.asp. The site has lots of good
[free] stuff there, including a 29-page PDF file describing maneuvers for
the C-172. Problem is, it refers to a couple checklist mnemonics I am not
familiar with. Googling didn't seem to help uncover them. I'm betting
someone in our R.A.P. community can unravel them for me.

7-DOWN

If you must, feel free to list your favorites in addition to these.

Go Fly!

7-up, 7-down refers to the order in which you make adjustments to the
controls. E.g. 7-down starts with checking engine instruments (top
left) then goes right to the yoke, on to carb heat, throttle, mixture
and down to trim and fuel valve selection. 7-up starts at the fuel
valve and goes the other way around. I have seen variations of which
items to include though.

Not really a checklist thing, but the switches to the right of the
master switch on piper cherokees spell FLAP. Fuel pump, Landing light,
Anticollision light, Pitot heat. Good to know at night.
