Gear Warning

A wheels-up landing in an aircraft which doesn't have an
undercarriage alarm is a wholly predictable accident. Why is
there this attitude that says it's ok to see it coming, yawn
about it, and do basically *nothing* to prevent it?

You ain't a real man unless you've done a gear up landing. Checklists
and warning devices are for whimps.

You have found the essence of the argument, Stefan. "REAL pilots don't
need no stinking gear warning."
-Bob Korves
(who has had several "reminders" from the gear warning)

So why resist the fitment of undercarriage warnings?

They couldn't stop audio varios
They couldn't stop GPS usage
They couldn't stop IGC flight recorders
They couldn't stop the proliferation of PDA navigation systems .......

Give 'em something to hope for!
