Interesting. Mary and I *never* split the preflight duties. The PIC

I agree, Jay. I usually fly with a pilot/friend, and we don't split
preflight duties for that very reason also -- too easy for both to think
the *other* checked/did it. We do overlap each other though (both do the
checks) on the verification of fuel, oil and cowl latches.
