Is the pressure that great on some crew to NOT write snags (stoppers) in the Techlog? Are some misguided into thinking they are 'helping' their employer?
The CIAIAC reported, that the airplane already had encountered difficulties extending the flaps in two flights earlier the day, a flapless landing had to be performed into Valladolid. The airline had no own ground engineers in Valladolid.
Apparently so.
I wonder what the insurers are going to say about this course of events.

Can't you count? "Too Low Flap" is three syllables
"Too Low Landing Gear" is five!

Why not change the warnings to: "Too Low, Flap" and "Too Low,
Landing Gear." The disparate number of syllables should then alert the ICAO Level 2 English speaker to the imminent danger!
Remember, ICAO Level 4 is only a requirement for international flights.
I wonder if this would have helped - seems all the gear warnings are indeed the same # of syllables.
Let's see... You suggested "Too Low Landing Gear" and I remarked that all the current warnings are the same number of syllables, thus agreeing with you.
Good suggestion, although now that I'm counting syllables "too low landing gear" has the same # of syllables as "too low minimums."
There is of course a smart alek remark one might make about another's ability to read with comprehension, but I'm sure it was just an oversight...
