Being an excellent pilot, he never was too busy, in too much of a hurry, or too preoccupied not to follow these strict guidelines in the form of routine checklists laid out before him to observe.
As an aside, ALL drone pilot should be emulating these other pilots by inspecting their aircraft before powering it up, running down a pre-flight list and then a flight list before takeoff, and following a landing checklist, too. So many drone crashes and accidents could be avoided if they did.
It's never cool to be a fool. Any drone pilot who simply leaves things up to the circumstances of the day when flying and who is cavalier about following checklists instead of maintaining a more professional, mature approach to flying is foolhardy, indeed. It sets into motion a series of events that can only eventually end very badly for those involved.
