The Auster is about the same complexity as a Cessna 172 really – there’s no reason why you can’t do the same with any typical single engine fixed gear fixed pitch prop type. Our Auster is even simpler, the checklist is a small printed card stuck to the panel. Of course you have amplified procedures in a folder, but for the actual day to day running, the order of the day was a flow and then check the very concise checklist. His philosophy is if they can get the MD-11 checklist onto a single laminated sheet of A4 (well, “legal paper”, since this is the US) then the checklist for an Apache ought to also fit on a single laminated sheet, too. My ME instructor in the US was a senior MD-11 first officer at the time. Yes, I think many checklists are OTT (or not really check lists but “to do lists”).
