Pre-takeoff checklist
In most pursuits, you learn using the tools of the time; electronic calculators in school, software at work, etc. I don't find any modern conveniences present in my training so far, which adds to the challenge and reward of this endeavor. No GPS, fully analog mechanical gages and even during flight planning we use the slide rule instead of a calculator. I don't know what it is about general aviation that has sheltered it from these features of modernity, but i like it.
