Factual narrative

THE PLT STATED THAT HE FORGOT TO MAKE A FINAL BEFORE LNDG CHECK BECAUSE HE WAS CONCENTRATING ON TRAFFIC AND THE SHORT LNDG HE HAD BEEN REQUESTED TO MAKE. TWR PERSONNEL VIOLATED USAF PROCEDURES WHEN THEY REQUESTED THAT THE ACFT HOLD SHORT OF THE EAST-WEST RWY ON LNDG AND WHEN THEY DID NOT REMIND THE PLT TO CHECK WHEELS DOWN PRIOR TO LNDG.
