Hi, I was wondering what the acronym GUMPS stood on a landing
checklist.
Larry

Gas Undercarriage Mixture Prop

Never heard the S before.

There used to be CIGARTIP

Which was:

Controls, Instruments, Gas, Altimeter. can't remember the 'R', Trim
'I'
I don't know either and Props

Good one for simple lightplanes is CIGMFT. (Cig means fine tobacco)

Controls Instruments Gas Mixture Flaps Trim.

Betie

Neither of those had a gear check?

Unless R stands for "Retractable?"

Why would you need a gear check for takeoff?

Bertie

Thought you were answering the OP, where he asked for the Landing
checklist...

I never do GUMPS on takeoff -- the T/O checks would be something like
TBSMCPMPTHFFR, which isn't a very useful mnemonic...

Cigmftt for any thing up to a twin Beech always worked fo me. The extra
T was for the tailwheel lock. The 3 was two crew anyway, so we used a
read and challenge for that, but it wasn't much more than that.

Everyone knows the gear can't come up while taxiing anyway, no matter what
you do with the switches.

Though I knew some tit who used to pull the lever up at the start of the
take off roll and rely on the prox switch on the gear to do the rest for
him.

Guess what?

Any others? One of the instructors here uses "Lights, Camera, Action"
when cleared to enter the runway. (Strobe, Transponder, release
brake/roll)

Do you want to bet? All it takes is for a microswitch to unload for a second
and the interlock is no longer part of the equation. While I can't think of a
specific episode while taxiing, I do recall a case where the pilot selected gear
up just before starting his take off roll. He apparently thought it would look
cool for the gear to suck up the instant he took off. Unfortunately he didn't
lift off cleanly and skipped instead. Oops!

I used CIFFTERS:

Controls, instruments, fuel, flaps, trim, engine runup, radios, switches

Or for people who are worried about a gear-up, it's

Gear
Undercarriage
Make sure the gear is down
Put the gear down if it isn't
See the gear down lights?


It's now nine months that I've been flying a fixed gear airplane.

I'm *stiill* paranoid.

You have got to be kidding...?

Or else flying a fixed gear.

God I'm pedantic!! :-)))))))))))

I used
"Every good pilot must take off fine check"

and

"Every good pilot must land fine check"
