Think I might have qualified my statement. Pity you didn't see fit to read all of it. BTW, all these "God's Gifts" to aviation will swear up and down, that they use a written checklist. One interruption, and the written checklist is toilet paper.
In my (since you're bringing it up) more than twenty-six thousand, accident free hours, I've always relied on a geographical scan (unless something is amiss, which went unnoticed by you in my first statement?) with great success.
If you NEED a written checklist to put the gear down, you NEED to be doing something else.
