Today, when reviewing emergency procedures he told me about the "7 and 7".
This may be old news to many, but I didn't know it, and I kind of like it.

I'd never heard it called that, but that's the technique my instructor
taught for engine out memory items.

The 'flow' concept works well for everything. When I was flying rental
172s I made my own checklist (with input from lots of others) and
reorganized everything to be in a natural order.

When the checklist (even a memory one, like GUMPS) is not in the order
you do things it becomes very easy to skip a step. I happened to learn
a extra-P's GUMPPPS for fuel _p_ump and _p_rimer, but you really need
the pump on before any tank change, so BGUMPS makes more sense.
