The Hair Dryer Incident (2014)
Perhaps the call should be "Airspeed $X knots thus alive" to demonstrate that the airspeed is readable.

I like the idea, but X will always be zero, so suffers the same problem.

Airspeed alive is a callout on the runway during the takeoff roll, not during the static walkaround.

Checklist is done when plane is stationary. Um, I guess wind would register if you're out of the hanger.

Other comments contradict this. Also, it doesn't pass a common sense test. How can you validate the air speed meter with zero airspeed? The correct reading is the same as a common completely broken reading.
