I have paid out of my pocket for several gear up landings by renter
pilots. I know they have the best intent. Rather than require more insurance, I would prefer a better warning system. Since I can not hear most warning horns (old ears) I would like to have a stick vibrator, ( maybe that is off the shelf) a big flashing light or an explosion. My wallet hurts, and teaching USTALL doesn't seem to work. Of all the students I have personally taught, I am the first...Yea, Me. I landed on the belly while my passenger was having a panic attack. Maybe the explosion would have gotten my attention. For me, this is a serious request. Air brake handle markers have been tried, but the renter pilot seems to forget to install them. Please also tell me how to get my instructors to teach traffic scanning. A friend and I had to take a shower and clean up both seats yesterday. Four eyes, both activically scanning, gave a brief moment that allowed a close encounter rather than planting a lot of glass below. They are very nice people and I love them, so maybe some words to me would help keep my friends and me both flying. Fred R. |
