"The aviation version: One example of an avoidable accident in aviation is pilots attempting to land "wheels up" without lowering the landing gear. Since many planes have fixed gear (wheels always down), while others have retractable gear, pilots accustomed to fixed gear can forget to lower it. To avoid this, student pilots use a landing checklist that includes verifying the landing gear is down no matter what plane they're flying."
"The aviation version: Pilots do a thorough preflight inspection inside and outside the plane, checking many details. After completing this, a common checklist item is to do one final, complete walk around the exterior of the aircraft. This helps catch anything obvious that was missed, like the plane still being tied down or a fuel cap left off. The everyday principle: When you've been focused on details, do one final check of the whole picture to see what you may have m"
