Landing Checklist

My reason: Training a new student in a fixed-gear trainer to recite
"undercarriage" on each landing AND THEN DO NOTHING is to set them up for future
wheels-up landings when they do finally fly retractables.

Don't agree. My glider takeoff checklist includes flaps and I seldom
fly flapped gliders. I don't do nothing when I get to FLAPS. I
respond None.

I do most of my power flying in fixed gear singles but the memorized
landing check list still includes GEAR and the response "Down" (and
sometimes down and welded).

Each checklist item should require a response. In my opinion the
response "None" is as valid as "Set" or "Down".

I realize this is personal preference and it's been done to death here
before.
