Gear down, flaps 15. Landing checklist , was SOP in my days, albeit many years ago.
Who on earth taught me that on my 737 course?
Boeing in Seattle.
There you go, exactly, "gear down, flap 15, landing checklist", all in one breath. I remember that like it was yesterday. But the landing checklist cannot be completed until landing flap is selected, normally 30 or 40, so what was the point of starting the checklist if it could not be completed? Yeah, I know, complete to the line, on some types.
Never heard of hydraulics consideration, even with gravel protect skids on 737-200
