FFF - It's a bit like doing procedural / straight in joins - just try to get them done at a point when cockpit workload permits!
I was only taught the CRAP checks about 2.5 yrs ago when an instructor checking me out in the Warrior at Fife expressed surprise that I didn't do them!
Still, having been taught in Canada to put carb heat on on downwind and leave it on until landed (with carb heat cold being part of the go around / clear runway checks), my checks still seem to be an eerie hybrid of all the ways I've previously been taught.
