Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Check Lists

[MerlinSub@t-online.de (Carsten Standfuss)]

Hi Steven - I have a pre-flight checklist for Sgt.Peppers. 
(And I was also a sonarglider pilot before .. ) 

Its four pages long and takes 20 Minutes with two guys before the boats
gets with the trailer into the water. Checklist will be not in the boat
but outside on the Van used as radiostation, workshop and resting place. 

There is no "before dive check" - just check the pressurebottles storage
gauge again - and no "end of the day" check. Just closing the pressure
bottles, removing the sofalime, and shut down the battery main switch. 

But a greater checkup/test in the workshop before the boat get next time
out of the storage after resting a longer time. 

The pre-leaving the harbour checklist for the Euronaut sub will be much
longer maybe 8 pages - will take maybe also 20-30 minutes - but need the
work of all 4- crewmembers. 

regards Carsten
