Bottom line

Errors are reduced when visible reminders are present and actively used. Once the wind direction is determined and the takeoff path chosen, configure the seaplane and perform all of the pre-takeoff checks while taxiing to the takeoff position. When a safe airspeed is achieved, establish the pitch attitude for the best rate of climb (VY) and complete the climb checklist.
