Vancouv, slopey and Emma think again about what you have said, these things will not/should not be left out I assure you
Absolutely - just because they're not in my post doesn't mean I wouldn't or don't do them - I do all checks, radio calls, etc as described on every PFL - practice makes perfect should the real thing ever happen.
I was merely pointing out that it's ok to change the target field if for any reason the first one becomes unsuitable (sheep/won't make it/etc), that you were unlikely to be penalised for doing so, and that if there's one straight ahead, and you're happy with it - land in that!
checks/restart if time/comms/harnesses/unlatch doors/flaps/master/fuel off etc should all be done of course, just wasn't going to give the proceedure chapter and verse!
