I sure hope not. If so, the insurance companies wouldn't write policies
for complex acft anymore as they'd be replacing engines, props, and
belly skins continually. I know distractions will happen, but I had it
pounded into my head that if you do the same thing the same way every
time you'll (usually) get the same result. That is, no sickening
grinding noise during your (brief) rollout.

The problem is that you'll never be able to do the same thing at the
same time everytime. ATC may ask you to switch to a straight in,
traffic may start to take off the opposite direction on the runway,
etc. I sure hope I'll never land gear up, but I'm going to continue to
live with the idea that its just out there waiting to happen to me on
every flight.
