Brakes. (press briefly to check for pressure)

Oh, and Master On, Mags Both. It never hurts to be sure.

The full 152/172 landing checklist, as I've learned it:

Master On
Mags Both
Carb Heat On
Mix Rich
Fuel Switch On (or to Both in the 172)
Brakes
Land...

It's all purely physical now, a flow around the cockpit clockwise from the
Master Switch.
