When learning to fly was told that as you walk towards the particular device you are about to play with,have a proper real good look,does everthing
"look right"
Then go through all the other stuff when aboard that makes you feel comfortable before you go.

1) Did we leave anyone ashore?
2) Did we disconnect that funny blue warp with the meter in it?
3) Do we have enough Pot Noodles, Smash and Fray Bentos pies?
4) Is there enough Bolly and Stolly on board?
5) Did anyone check to see if those big green things are still under the floor?
