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.

Guidance to always put the wheel down is also in the emergencies sections
of all the modern glider flight manuals that I have seen.
