Gear Up Landings
In our little corner of the world, North Western Ontario, an area about the size of France, we seem to have a rash (at least one a year!) of guys just forgetting to put the gear down.
And, the excuses flow like the juice from a newly butchered pomegranate! It's just NEVER the pilot's fault. Poor chap is fatigued, or hungry, or stressed by company "culture"....and somehow it's okay to forget the gear.
The latest was in CYRL two days ago. A two pilot Navajo crew just forgot the gear.
How often does this happen Stateside? Internationally?
We have aviation colleges that train circuits, leaving the gear down???
Is this unique to Canada?
I don't suffer fools lightly.
