Getting the headset
on prior to an air-restart while getting low is always fun...

In our syndicate check list we have divided our "air re-start" drills
into two parts. First, preliminary drills before committing to a
start attempt, then the start itself. Sometimes we are able to climb
away between the two but at least we are prepared if a start becomes
necessary. Putting the headset on is naturally in the first set of
drills.

Right, I always did the headset early, but its just another
bit of distraction and stress not needed when trying to find
a bit of lift...
