Learned to fly in a Capstan way back in 1972. Happy days.

CBSIFCB Was what I was taught. Controls Ballast, Straps, Instruments, Flaps, Canopy Brakes. I flew in a Capstain a few times in the early 80s

Wow, this brought back so many memories, both as a glider pilot, and as a winch driver. Winch launches are a lot of fun! Aerotows are better for altitude, but they are hard work for the glider pilot.

Apart from the deployed spoiler, was the rotate into climb a tad early?

I did think the rate of climb was off. 😊

Airbrakes open, foget to check, close and lock during the preflight check.. This is why we use checklists these days and have done away with these acronyms to rember by hart (In Dutch.. SKISTOK, Startplaats vrij?, Kap gesloten en gelocked, Instrumenten, Stuurorganen, Trim, Ontkoppelhaak, Kleppen gesloten en gelocked) Also because sailplanes have become more complicated and every model has its own checklists.

A checklist is a checklist, its form is immaterial. I have used written checklists, challenge and response, electronic checklists and done checklists from memory. I have witnessed and omitted items from each type. What I have noticed is that the greater the number of pointless things that are added to lists, the greater the number of important things that are omitted. On takeoff, the big ticket items are controls, ballast, canopy, harness and brakes. Landing its just ballast and gear. Why all the other bollocks has to creep in is beyond me. Omit the crap and focus on the big stuff.
