I would want my airline pilot to fly from memory and never ever use trainers, checklist or refresh his training. It shows amateurishness.
He doesn’t need them. That’s what autopilots are for.
Well I certainly wouldn’t feel safe with a pilot googling “how to land a plane” as we are descending towards our destination...
Actually, professional pilots use trainers constantly, to keep their memories and muscle memory fresh. They use checklists every time they perform a procedure, such as starting the engines. If it's a multi-pilot aircraft, it may be a two-person checklist.
It's to ensure, as far as humanly possible, they do not skip a step or make a mistake in the procedure.
all pilots use a checklist prior to takeoff, no matter how experienced they are ...
A good pilot always uses a checklist. It shows his professionalism.
I suffered a small fracture in my ankle but couldn’t afford to take off time from work- I am a security guard- so I got my combat boots and had to make cuts in the foot part of the relevant one to accommodate the swelling, then laced it up tightly and went to work. I continued that way for a month or so (at work) until the swelling went down then loosened it up. It has been like normal ever since. I did eventually get it x-rayed at my wife’s insistence and it showed a healed fracture.
