Chuck,

I disagree! Why is it that every commercial aircraft in the world carries emergency checklists? It's absolutely correct that "practice and clear headed thinking" are critical in emergencies, but when the adrenalin cuts in the most experienced pilots will go immediately to their checklists. Similarily, I know of few navies in the world that don't have their SoPs (standard operating procedures) to guide routine and emergency actions.

Nothing wrong with a checklist and nothing wrong with looking at it in an emergency.
