Kerry is on the money here.... I was a pilot and used to have a good crosscheck.. but if you research the situation you will find that the IMPORTANT warnings in an aircraft are now AUDIBLE.... if you had a perfect 30 second crosscheck all the time you could still be 28 seconds late finding out that your oil pressure had gone to ZERO....
