This is all basic airmanship, and shouldn't require a checklist.
But if you really need a checklist, how about WWW: Wind (so you don't embarass yourself by landing downwind). Water (so you don't embarass yourself by stalling in the pattern by flying too slow cuz you still got 300 lbs of water onboard...and Wheel (so you don't block the runway by landing gear up). One could argue that the preceding three items require a specific landing-related OODA process to be made (or not...). The rest? You got to be reminded to Look? Really? Think about it. Kirk 66 OODA: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. See John Boyd. |
