I get that, I agree. My objection is that if a checklist item is
necessary to make this happen at pattern & landing time, then the
lookout discipline during other phases of flight is probably lacking.
Intentional redirection of attention away from front/center needs to
be happening continuously.

LANDing area also includes having an alternate, both during off-
airport and on-airport landings.


I like that.
