Summary
273 Max talks about two accidents in which the improper use of
checklists was a factor, and how to better use checklists when you
fly. The pilots of Spanair Flight 5022 were all configured to
takeoff, when they returned to the gate for a maintenance issue.
Later they went to takeoff again, but were not configured for
takeoff. An SR22 pilot crashed after failing to configure the
aircraft for landing.
