"kontiki" wrote in message ... Towers at military fields issue a "check gear down" instruction along with the landing clearance... I always thought that would be a good idea for GA also. So that's why they do it at KFOK (Gabreski/Suffolk County, NY). Doing touch & goes there in a fixed-gear Cessna 172, ATC told me "check gear down" each time. I must have sounded a little snotty when I replied, "I couldn't raise the gear if I wanted to." On the other hand, I've never heard that at KSTW and KBAF, which are also mixed-use GA/military fields.
