Was that a turbine 182?
U206. You can see the utility door back right with step and wind deflector for the sliding door (Parachute ops).
Looks like a Soloy. Didn't think there were any in Australia?

Looks like the World's ugliest 206 in the world's shittiest hangar at Singleton.
Dr Oak, yes, it's CZR.
Horatio I don't care how ugly it looks, it would climb like a bat out of hell compared to a piston 206

Kris, if that is your hangar (with the Twotters) I am very jealous!

I would say that was an EGPWS save!!! At 400 ft or therabouts the GIPWIZ would be saying, "To low gear", or a similar warning which under normal company policy would require a go around but those guys took it in their stride.
A zoom lens can be very deceptive!
Based on the time to touchdown, the gear started down at around 700'.
Don't know what their SOP's are. I normally have the gear down by a thousand!

It would be embarrassing if it was the tower that told them to put the gear down. I recall a tower controller at YMMB telling me of his proud record of no gear ups ever whilst he was on shift (over many years).
400 ft +or- depending on slope divided by 40seconds is around average 600 feet/min. The last few seconds the rate of descent is negligible allowing the approach rate of descent to be up around 700 ft/min and as I said we can't see if there is any slope on approach.
That sounds very much like time for "Too Low Gear" to me, or a "shit gear down", maybe just prior to the CAWs

It's nowhere near 700ft. Too Low Gear comes on at 500ft, plus a couple of seconds for "WTF?!" and then down she goes. Renurpp's close at 400ft; 35secs at 700ft/min, I reckon.
Using both RoD and trigonometry the altitude was about 460ft when the gear was selected down. Based on that I would guess they got a mode 4A warning, i.e. “Too Low Terrain” at 1000 ft RA then a mode 4B warning “Too Low Gear” at 500ft.
