lanfairpg are you an airline pilot? If you are then I find your comment slightly surprising considering that lack of SOPs is one of the reasons GA doesn't have the excellent safety record that the airlines do.

Having a simple practical pre-landing check is an SOP. The answer is yes and simple pre-landing checks are very much the feature of modern airliners.

I alsked a collegue of mine once why they had 3 pilots on the Trident he answered. One to hold the checklist, one to read it and one to action it.

Thankfully the new geneartion aircraft have a check list on a card rather than a book!
