Bummer,

I had the Arrow reserved with the flight center I use, for next week
and for a couple of days in August.

They just sent me an email stating that a student pilot from the
flight center they share it with, landed it with the gear up. How
embarrassing, especially since the plane has an automatic gear down
deployment once it drops below 100mph and the manifold and rpm
resemble a landing configuration. He/she must have shut it off. It
has a loud alarm that sounds off in that situation, so I don't know
what might have happened..

Thanks,

I think the statement(I can't remember who said it first) goes
something like this, "First rule of thumb when designing fool proof
anything is never to underestimate a fool."
