I am quite surprised that so many on here are dismissive of anyone "who cannot fly a GA" with no distinction between the planned and unplanned versions. Missed Approach procedure will be included in the midair briefing but I dont think anyone ever says here's what we will do if we bounce 85 ft or land with the wheels up. Both events happened to this crew and they must have been shocked to the core. Though faced with a fast diminishing runway as well they still managed to do a dry Sullenburger.
And another thing, while so much is automated shouldnt there be inhibition of raising the gear until certain actions and height are met?
