Yes, as they’re literally life-and-death in many cases. Getting a pilot license requires one to demonstrate the ability to do certain “not common but not exactly uncommon either” recovery things from memory. And different bits of those “1000 things” play a role in different scenarios. If you’re lucky and at high enough altitude to have time to look up a checklist in the POH it’s great. When you have seconds because you just took off or something screws up on final you don’t have time to go through the POH or futz around with the checklists in your avionics (if they’re even there).

The pilots that don’t remember these things when they’re needed are dead.
