I ended up making my own checklist. I find these cookie cutter ones are just too universal, you end up doing too many steps out of order or skipping them all together. I find especially with the 120/140, each one is so different it's hard to have a universal list.

Check lists are good...when I fly my son's C180 it really helps me feel confident that I haven't missed something. His plane has to many knobs, levers and switches, tho!

The one I have used with my Stinson, C150, C140, J-3 is much simpler. All I had at start up was the master switch, and only one radio, no transponder.

Before Take-off:

Can I Go Flying Today Peter Rabbit Sir

Controls, Instruments, Gas, Flaps, Trim, Power Run-up. Seat belts.

Before landing:

The good old GUMPS...except I didn't need all of it!

Gas, Under carriage, Mixture, Prop, Seat belts.

I like watching my son using the check list in his 180...gives me lots of confidence in his approach to flying.

GUMPS and CIGARS is exactly what I learned with my primary instructor, many years ago.

Here is my checklist (see attached list):
*This is REF USE ONLY... you should refer to your POH & make your personal checklist IAW your AC configuration (STC's, field approval...)

My C140 is equipped with a o-200-a, spin oil filter & my airspeed is in knots.
*WARNING* Many airspeeds are calculated & not formally flight tested/validated.
I hope this will help!

In any airplane, from J3 to Citation, always do a "fuel and controls" review at hold short line. If engine(s) are getting fuel from tank(s) with gas, and controls are properly set (flaps, freedom of travel, trims) the airplane is likely to safely fly.
