For all landings, my pre-landing check is:

W- Water jettisoned.
U - Undercarriage down and locked.
L - Loose objects stowed away and, considering myself
as a potential loose object, straps tight.
F - Flaps set as appropriate.

I don't include 'Straps' or 'Loose Objects' in my check
list because
loose anything in the cockpit can become problematic
at any point in a
flight. Is this a regional item?


The basic pre-landing checklist I use is the one recommended
by the BGA in the UK. Loose items and loose straps
are more likely to become an issue when flying in the
turbulent air close to the ground, and during the ground
run in a bumpy field.
