Default Student practices landing with gear up


"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.
