The fact that I was just given the keys and sent on my way was an

Feels just like the first time your dad gave you the keys to the car
doesn't it?

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.

Hi Dallas. The Gazelle has checklists, albeit very short ones! ;-)
The pre-landing checklist is simply this:

Fuel pump on.
Fuel on and sufficient for go around.
Brake pressure firm.
Hatches and Harnesses secure.

That's it! Simple, but easy to forget if you're busy doing other things.

It's like the one we use in our RV:
everything forward (mixture, prop)
boost pump on
power
flaps
