The Beechcraft Duke B60 pilot checklist outlines procedures for starting engines, including checks for oil pressure and generator status, and specifies various configurations for safety and performance during take-off, cruise, and landing. It emphasizes the importance of engine monitoring, seat belt fastening, and the use of boost pumps under specific conditions. The checklist also includes emergency procedures for engine failure and fire on the ground.
