PA-28 Pre-Landing Checklist

On the grounds that I need to learn this, here is the list from the Piper checklist.

1. Mixture – Rich
2. Carb Heat – Check for ice
3. Fuel – sufficient
4. Flaps – up
5. Engine instrument – within limits
6. Seat backs / Seat belts – erect / secure
7. Altimeter – Set / Cross Check
    o Airport QFE No 1
    o Airport QNH No 2
8. Brakes – Off
9. Recognition / Landing Lights – on
10. Air conditioner – off

And finally here's Tony's version

Brakes
Undercarriage
Mixture (rich) (carb heat on)
T's & P's
Fuel (sufficient) (perhaps swap tanks)
Fuel Pump on
Landing lights on
Carb Heat off
Hatches and harnesses

I prefer Tony's because he includes a round the cockpit check - brakes to mixture in the middle, jump left to engine instruments, work right to fuel, switches, carb heat and finally hatches and harnesses.
