I agree that following published checklist procedures (especially
during abnormal/emergency operation) is important.

If there is a published checklist for "nose gear not down and locked" then
I
agree.

If the only published checklist is for the different situation of "gear
not
down and locked" (i.e. no gear down) then I disagree with you because the
checklist does not directly relate to the pilot's situation.

Which situation(s) are addressed in the Arrow checklist?

A few days ago I posted an except from the Arrow POH, Section 4, entitled
"EMERGENCY LANDING GEAR EXTENSION". The introductory line reads, "If
landing gear does not check down and locked: ...."

Faced with any emergency I will always perform the POH procedure first. If
that fails, I'll get creative.
