Tip of the hat!

I can only speak for the Arrow. Checking the POH for our plane, it
calls for fuel pump on, and mixture "set". At my home field this means
mixture full rich.

I was taught "Pump, Red, Blue, Greens" (Fuel pump on, Mixture full Rich,
Prop full forward, 3 green landing gear indicators) call out on short
final. The only time I've hand any issue with this is at a high
altitude airport where I had the mixture too rich (wasn't full rich but
was rich enough that when I turned off at the taxiway, the engine quit).
