Feels just like the first time your dad gave you the keys to the car

Hey, I can't help wondering what your landing checklist is in the Gazelle.
You've got no flaps... no mixture control... "OK.. checklist, seatbelts
-yep, carb heat - yep.. ok, we're done." :-)

I ask because I've had 6 different instructors and none of them have
insisted on a formal landing checklist.
