The manual I recently compiled for the Axis/Vegas has about half of it dedicated to checklists -- Getting Ready After Storage, Setup, Tear down, Winterizing, Storing, Post Camping Cleanup, and PDI.
It's really easy to forget something critical no matter how many times you've done it. That's why regardless of how many thousands of flying hours an aircrew member has, he/she still does preflight, post flight, takeoff prep, landing prep by the checklist. You would be amazed at how easy it is to attempt a landing with the gear still in the wheel wells.
When you use the checklist you never have to say, "OOps."
