Vilas, you are right. It is no different in any aircraft. "PAFU" was a mnemonic drilled into us old boilers at basic flying training school. Power, Attitude, Flaps, Undercarriage. Even in liitle old Cessnas where the undercarriage was fixed, we still had to call it out. After CPL/IR and 200 hrs, I was one of the fortunate old school cadets that went straight into a heavy airliner. "PARFU" was the drill, again; "R" added for Radio in order to set the Flight system. It has worked for me in every aircraft and once, I bounced and decided to GA. PAFU had been well rehearsed, well practiced and on the day, proved to be a non-event. well, apart from Tea & biks with the Fleet Skipper who wanted to know why we bounced. Good grief. Biks were rubbish too.
