When I line up on the runway, I check the Time, Lights, Transponder, Gyro (lined up with runway). What I have never done before is put the foggles on. Wow. Taking off with view limiting device is freaky. Its like the flying the airplane on the ground (a familiar concept to tail draggers). I focus on the directional gyro and the airspeed. That's it. Hope the runway is perfectly lined with the gyro and GO!
It is good exercise, but not something I wish to put into practice. I would not want to take-off from an airport I could not find quickly or land on an approach in case of system malfunction.
