Brakes on landing.
The RAF Chippy downwind checks were Mixture - Fuel - Flaps - Harness - Hood - Brakes. And I'm sure that those of you who flew them in the Services can remember the useful mnemonic "My Friend Fred Has Hairy Balls".
For the brakes it was 'As Required'. This was to allow some differential braking control on the ground in gusty conditions. But in over a thousand hours in the Chippy, I don't think I used them once. We didn't as a rule - it just increased the risk of losing directional control by over enthusiastic use of the rudder.
So the downwnid checks were always: Brakes.....Off
