This has been beat to death here before, but IMHO shorter is better:
CBSIFTCBE before taking off, and (for me) WWW before landing (Wind

The rest is just good aviating.

I have never been able to memorize what CBSIFTCBE is supposed to mean
and a written checklist seems a perfect way for the pre-takeoff check
to be made.

(W)USTALL might have a couple of redundant checks, but it's short and
easy to remember.

Funny, cuz I have no clue what (W)USTALL stands for.

( Water )
Undercarriage
Speed
trim
airbrakes ( test them in case of a failure )
look
land

And I agree that it's all airmanship. I think these are taught to
primary students more in order to teach the airmanship than they are
needed as a "checklist" such as done in a complex aircraft.
