You're right, Cliff!

I'd completely forgotten about the RSU (Runway Supervisory Unit) who
would send you around (wave off for you Navy pukes) if you didn't have
your gear down.Â* Reminds me the of the story of the pilot at the
accident review board who said that he didn't lower his gear because he
was distracted by the loud buzzing in his head set and the flares
shooting off at the end of the runway.

But on a more serious note, I check my gear position, handle/switch,
indicator(s), and sounds/buffeting, three times before each landing:Â* on
downwind, on base, and on final.Â* I always cringe on short final
thinking how long it takes for the gear to extend electrically and that,
since the engine is secured, there will be no go around if I don't have
two green lights.
