I don't fly transport jets, and I don't fly floats. I've always felt that if a pilot truly NEEDS a warning system to prevent him from from forgetting the bloody wheels, he should really seek some other form of employment! How often do you leave home without your pants? I'm not a big believer in written check lists. Simply because if you NEED to refer to a checklist, sure as **** you're going to miss something, do to an untimely interruption. Eventually, you'll loose your place and miss something. There is NO better backup than a good flow. When something is amiss, by all means, pull out the checklist. That's what they're for! But if YOU really need gear down warning systems.....go flip burgers.
