"Other than using a checklist for everything except letting a fart"
Not to belabor the point, but this quote got me to thinking that yes, we use a lot of checklists, but that is in the name of saftey. I would hope that most 61 operations use something similar. Here's a list of the 172 checklists, which ones should/could we do without?
Normal Checklists: Remember, these are checklists, not "to do lists" and only serve as a backup to flows we already know
Aircraft Acceptance
Preflight Inspection
Pushback (yes it is there on the old checklists and it does say "NOT APPLICABLE", but ok, i'll give you that one, but it has been changed on the new checklists i bieleve)
Before Starting Engine

Before Taxi
Taxi Check

Emergency Checklists:

Please pick for me, if you will, which of these checklists I should stop using if I were to quit and go get a part 61 job tomorrow. Thanks. Fly Safe.
