Just to clarify; STATUS is read and do, but obviously you only perform the 'do' parts at the appropriate points in the flight, not necessarily straight away.

For example on the screen you show there is the line GREEN ENG 1 PUMP............ON. This should only be done as you actually start the approach, so as to preserve the green hydraulic fluid.
Further down though there is LDG DIST PROC.........APPLY (if green hyd does not come back). It would be best to have done this before starting your approach - indeed, you need to know the LDR before you choose a runway to approach, just in case the green hyd does not come back on line, so this would need to be done well before you get to the approach phase.

But; GPWS LDG FLAP 3................ON, could be done now, so as to reduce tasks during the approach and not risk missing it later.
