Narrative:

After a very rushed sequence of events we attempted a takeoff, only to get a 'takeoff confign warning.' we immediately realized our flaps were up and aborted the takeoff. After selecting takeoff flaps and repeating the taxi/before takeoff checklists, we made an uneventful takeoff. I often fly through congested, busy airports, and realize the importance of cockpit discipline. This time we foolishly tried to hurry up on checklists when we were cleared for takeoff sooner than we anticipated.

Title: FLC OF ACR LGT 'HURRY UP' SYNDROME TO AFFECT PRE-DEP PROCS, AND ATTEMPTS TKOF WITHOUT FLAPS SET.

Narrative: AFTER A VERY RUSHED SEQUENCE OF EVENTS WE ATTEMPTED A TKOF, ONLY TO GET A 'TKOF CONFIGN WARNING.' WE IMMEDIATELY REALIZED OUR FLAPS WERE UP AND ABORTED THE TKOF. AFTER SELECTING TKOF FLAPS AND REPEATING THE TAXI/BEFORE TKOF CHKLISTS, WE MADE AN UNEVENTFUL TKOF. I OFTEN FLY THROUGH CONGESTED, BUSY ARPTS, AND REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF COCKPIT DISCIPLINE. THIS TIME WE FOOLISHLY TRIED TO HURRY UP ON CHKLISTS WHEN WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF SOONER THAN WE ANTICIPATED.
