Dassault, which is the manufacturer of aircraft in which AT&T fly, and Flight Safety, which is the training facilitator for AT&T, both use QRH checklists, consisting of very concise, effective flows to ready the aircraft for a particular phase of flight. Most flight departments, preach a "train how you fly" approach. AT&T, under the lack of guidance, and fear of losing control, choose to disregard the Dassault QRH, and use their on ad hoc checklists. An example is the Dassault before landing checklist may have 3 steps (aircraft dependent). AT&T has more than double the steps. To include the aforementioned landing lights. I have heard it from Flight Safety (nobody is immune there) and a few of their pilots. GD is under the belief that he knows better than the manufacturer and the Training Facility. They are flying Easy jets in the same manner as a Falcon 20. Their checklists, which apparently he designs but doesn't follow (Rubber Jungle & #2 engine not starting due to Thrust Lever) are full of garbage and unnecessary steps simply for the lowest common denominator (Weak Management Pilots). I saw the AT&T 900 Easy paper checklist. I was told they spent $$$$$ to change ECL to match their Falcon 20 days.
