Pilot Mnemonic Reminders

I put these useful mnemonics check lists together for my own needs. I thought that someone else would benefit from them if I would put them on this site.

CIGAR - Runup Or Ground Check
Controls check, Instruments set, Gas (fuel on proper tank, pump on), Attitude (flaps and trim set) and Runup (magnetos check)

Lights, Camera, Action - Before Takeoff
Lights (strobe, landing light, and navigation lights). Camera is the transponder. Action is for mixture, fuel boost pump, flaps and trim.

BLITTS - Before Takeoff
Boost pump and mixture, Lights, Instruments set, Transponder, Time and Safety (seatsbelts, doors)

Charlie GUMPS - Before landing
Carb heat, Gas (fuel on the proper tank and pump), Undercarriage, Mixture, Propeller, Safety

CCCC - Go-Around
Cram it, clean it, cool it, and call it. Cram it refers to adding full power. Clean it refers to retracting flaps (in increments) and landing gear. Cool it is a reminder to open the cowl flaps / carb heat, and call it refers to announcing your action.

FACTS - After Landing
Flaps up, Auxiliary fuel pump off, Cowl flaps open and/or carburetor heat off, Transponder to standby, and Switches (pitot heat off and lights as required).

MIDGET - Securing The Aircraft
Master switch off, Ignition (magnetos) off, Doors and windows latched, Gust lock installed, ELT off, and Tiedowns secured.
