My BGK (dated august 1990) refers to "Pre-landing Check" in both a
sketch and the text. Similarly, my Instructors Hand Book (dated
April 1993) refers to "pre-landing checks". I also recall the
issue of always referring to "pre-landing checks" (for the very
reasons now being discussed) being drummed into me during
instructor training. Can we now say that the GFA is ahead of the game?

Obviously not, because of the existence of this thread. Maybe
someone will figure out the lesson here.
Just to make it easy:
You are saying there is an approved nomenclature for the check. It
doesn't seem to have made it to all these instructor types here.
Just like the wrongly rigged controls which should have been picked
up by the pilot's control checks before stepping in to the cockpit.
Proper procedures exist but are widely ignored or never learned or forgotten.
Then a new extra rule is made to prevent the inevitable accidents
without trying to figure out why the original one didn't work.
