Captain on the Metro is anything but an arm chair pilot, especially if you are single pilot! You tend not to assume things are being handled by the other crew member when there isn't one, lol. Today I operated four legs and I tried to pay attention to everything that took place prior to takeoff, for my SOP we check instruments right after we get the confirmation that the cabin is secure, now I have a real pretty picture of a runway on my ND and do you think that I once looked at this display prior to takeoff, the answer would be no, why, because in my mind, I knew exactly where I was. As far as the airport layout, what were the actual taxi instructions, via A, or A-6, IMHO if you have to utilize one runway to get to another, it's not exactly the best situation.Be motivated by the fact that if you screw up some arm chair pilot like me will be out there telling people you screwed up.

I managed to taxi to the runway, single pilot while copying my clearance and completing checklists in my 15th hour of duty and 7th hour of flight time. That is no joke either nor is it an exageration. When I came to 26, there was a big red sign saying 26. I passed that, took off on 22 and went on my merry way. It was not confusing and it was my first time there in 3 years or more.
While this is impressive, i usually do all that while eating my mourning dounut, drinking a fresh cup of hot coffee, scratching my ever increasingly fat ass, and drooling over the long slender legs of the young lady sitting in the back.
