Time, Turn, Twist, Throttle, Talk.<br /><br />GUMPS for me was always, Gas, Undercarriage, Mixture, Props, Switches.<br /><br />Never heard of the other ones your post, but here are some others:<br /><br />COWLS for a forced approach:<br />C - Civilization, land near it if possible<br />O - Obstacles, avoid them<br />W - Winds, land into the wind<br />L - Length, field long enough?<br />S - Surface suitable?<br /><br />HASEL before commencing any aerobatics:<br />H - Height sufficient<br />A - Area appropriate<br />S - Security, stuff tied down?<br />E - Engine checks (mixture, etc)<br />L - Lookout<br />Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732820595579405728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983213072743791122.post-48419112058172793642013-03-02T03:09:28.653-08:002013-03-02T03:09:28.653-08:00GUMPS for me too, no gear but use it for Gas, U fo...GUMPS for me too, no gear but use it for Gas, U for things U should know; DH, MDA or pattern altitude when VFR. Mixture, Pump, Safety & Switches.<br /><br />My other favorite is WIRE for those moments I ask myself why do I have nothing to do. Wx, Instruments, Radio and Enroute fix and/or Elevation (altitude).<br /><br />Never liked the 5 T'sGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637264267903131611noreply@blogger.com
