I can't imagine having the presence of mind to use a checklist if my engine quits. Systems should be simple and all switches well labeled ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8619.JPG ) . The one time I lost my main electrical buss it only required the flip of one switch (on the red panel) to keep me in the air. At that point I had plenty of time to consider options. If my engine goes dead I only need to remember to turn off the "master" (that shuts off everything electrical in the aircraft) and shut off the fuel. I shouldn't need a check list for that and can accomplish that 10 seconds before touchdown. If you have time after an engine failure, a check list with items like "carb heat / alternate air", "fuel tank selector", "ignition source", and the like might be a good memory jogger but in the end "shut off master" and "shut off fuel" are the critical items. In my case the "master" is the last thing to switch off as it kills everything including radio, GPS, etc.. Larry Flesner flesner at frontier.com
