Default Shorter Field Landings?

Gear up or gear down?

The question raises an even more important point.

Why is the question even asked on RAS? Should information such as this not be included in the flight training manuals a pilot reads on the way to becoming a licensed pilot?

What other important information is lacking in this pilot's knowledge?

The answer to this particular question is on page 268 of the "Glider Flight Training Manual." Additional important information on this, and other subjects is included on the many other pages.

A small library is a requirement to becoming a safe, proficient pilot.
