Gear Up Landings And Pilot Error
An interesting perspective ...
Flight.org Article
Quote:
There’s an old adage in aviation that reads, “There are two types of pilots: Those that have landed gear up, and those that will.” I’m not a big believer in these silly phrases — their purpose being to bring solace to the group of pilots that are most likely to make the mistake. That doesn’t mean any of us are immune from making errors, but I do think there’s a fraternity of pilots that are always far less likely to make the mistake than others. This post examines just a few reasons why we make obvious errors; most notably, gear-up landings.
