Touch-and-go pre-takeoff check sequence

A touch-and-go takes off during the landing roll with no full stop, so the pre-takeoff check is done while moving.

• Start only when the aircraft is under complete control in the landed mode, not at touchdown.
• Run a compressed check of items that matter for the next takeoff.

Essential items, in order:

Each item reverses an approach setting. Flaps, trim, carb heat: none stays in landing position.

Trap: carb heat left hot into the takeoff roll. Set hot on approach; step 3 resets it cold before power, not after.
