The biggest pet hate I have is pilots reading the pre-landing checklist, reaching the check "Gear down" and simply moving the lever but not waiting for the result
Isn't this often the result of less than brilliant instruction?
Surely, the sequence should be 'speed safe (within limits), gear down and landing checklist', with 'gear down and locked' or 'gear down, three greens' as a visual check following after the required amount of time for the cycling to take place.
But how often is it taught this way?
