I wonder why that is. I get perfectly stable landings every time in any direction. Perhaps it is because I don't land directionally so much as arrive directionally at my designated landing spot, hover, wait (just out of ground effect zone) for drift to stabilize, then descend straight down without any directional input, which gives me a flawless landing every time. Literally doesn't matter what the wind is doing (providing it is under 45 mph !
Calibrating is last as a reminder and the important point is as it states "if required" and if I had placed it at the top everyone would think cal before flight and that is not needed at all. In fact some manufacturers are saying just do it once and again only if flying somewhere far away. In fact I think that item can be dropped from the check list but it's there for the new pilots. I have only calibrated the H once in three years. I was told by an expert that the drone on board computer only gets confused with regular calibration and makes it unstable as it has to lock in new coordinates each time ( I do recommend to calibrate if you see drift or anything unusual in flight).
I agree with you on that point. There is an argument that calibrating the compass when it is unnecessary, or far to often, can present more opportunities for a bad calibration to be introduced into the system thus causing more problems during flight that wouldn't have been there otherwise.
I agree, however I was out and had drifting problems, so I had to head back home get my cleaner to correct the issue.
Take a hip flask next time, for medicinal purpose, clean the joystick and keep ya warm in winter! And of any irate member of the public takes offense to you flying, let's have drink and discuss like rational human beings.
pretty much how I land, but wind gusts still affect it, and headwinds less so. I would imagine every H has a bit of it's own character really.I wonder why that is.

I too made a list and then updated the list after a while. You are right though, you will learn then steps quickly, if you follow your list until muscle memory (brain) kicks in.I too made one of those when I first started, and have never once referred to it in the field
No need to take off into the wind though ! It's a multirotor - it doesn't care what the wind is directionally doing when it is taking off, landing or at any other time !
The only time I would say you need to pay attention to that is when you are doing longer range flights that you are worried may tax the battery pack - then it makes sense to fly out against the wind so it is behind the craft for its return.
