### Flaps set
- Even if your glider does not have flaps, still verbalize this for primacy
### Undercarriage down and locked
- Even if your glider does not have retractable landing gear, still verbalize this for primacy
### Speed set for approach
- As appropriate for glider and current conditions
- Rule of thumb: add 1/2 wind gust factor to recommended approach speed
### Trim set
- Trim to relieve control forces once established in the correct configuration and speed
### Airbrakes checked
- Unlock and visually check air brakes (dive brakes, spoilers) for proper operation
### Look
- For any traffic, especially in the pattern or on the surface
### Land
- Execute the planned approach and landing
