I dont agree with fixed gear being safer in IMC, I have a turbo arrow and putting the gear down is second nature. By the time you get to your FAF you have it in landing configuration, no problems.. That's not what he's talking about. The risk we're concerned with is not gear-up landing (which is, for all practical purposes, a financial rather than a life-and-lib risk) but loss of control in IMC. Having the gear hanging out means it takes that much longer to overspeed the airplane, giving the pilot that much more time to recover from the unusual attitude. Michael |
