Default Landing Check Lists

This is a good question, since many standard checklists leave out
important things and add silly ones ("Land?" What, I'm going to forget
to land?!!).

Mine:

Wind (direction, strength, how strong will gradient/wind shadow be)
Ground (pick place to land, look for obstructions, wires, fences, pick
approach path to landing spot)
Gear (down and locked, and check)
Trim (pick speed appropriate to conditions, trim to it, configure
glider for landing including flaps and spoiler check)
Traffic (announce, look!)
