Checklist for what? Approaches? I never learned the 5Ts either.

The "T's", no matter how many, are a checklist for any navigation
checkpoint or waypoint. You may not need every "T" at every
checkpoint but you go through them all mentally.

I learned Turn - Time - Twist - Throttle - Talk - Track

I learned WIRE for conditioning the airplane for the approach

Weather (ATIS) - Instruments (Crosschecks, Kollsman, Precession,
etc...) - Radio (tune and ID to plate) - Everything Else (checklists)
