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.
No, I didn't mention nomenclature, I was just saying that GFA manuals
and training practice suggest that we refer to any checks required to
ensure everything is set up as required for landing (I don't think
there is any dispute that an aircraft should be correctly set up for
landing, but I may be wrong) be referred to as "pre-landing checks" to
increase the possibility of them being thought about no matter what
position the landing is being attempted from. Similarly, "pre-take off
and pre-aerobatic checks.
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.
Just the fact that some people ignore or forget, including power pilots
trained by "professional" instructors, the things they have been taught
does not make the thing itself inherently wrong.
Then a new extra rule is made to prevent the inevitable accidents
without trying to figure out why the original one didn't work.
I wasn't aware a new rule was being proposed, just that there has been
some discussion on the topic of pre-landing checks.
