I'm pretty new - currently working towards my PPL. I train out of Moorabbin and the pre-landing checklist for us is BOUMFISH. Not particularly hard to remember after you get the hang of it.

But then again I have to admit, it is pretty strange to check Undercarriage down on a Cessna 172, and autopilot off (Switches) when I certainly don't use autopilot at my stage of training. I suppose it's for us to get into the habit?

Yes, Moorabbin's busy traffic can be quite hairy so I try to get the checklist completely out of the way, after I do my inbound call and before I'm at 3NM.
