![]() "Robert M. Gary" wrote 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. Yes, but there is time to check for the last time, before you reduce power to settle in, that you do have something to settle in "on to." Don't most people build into their approach and landing procedure, at least 3 opportunities to check gear down? Failure to do one because of being busy, maybe, but 3 times? I'm with kingfish. Not everyone will land gear up. -- Jim in NC |
