In a previous article, "Dennis O'Connor" said:
Then there are Arrow pilots who lose their engines and decide to ditch with
the gear up. Unfortunately, some forget to override the automatic extension
system. The gear plops out seconds before splash down-sending the Arrow head
over heels.


First item in the emergency checklist is to put the gear override on.
