Isn't the fact of the matter that retractable undercarriages
are a 'Murphy's Law' item that it is possible to get
wrong, whatever systems you put in place.

There are only two sorts of pilots - Those who have
already landed gear up, and those who will some day.


No offense, but that, of course, is hog-wash. There is a large third
category of pilots: "Those who use whatever tools are available to them to
fly safely and NOT land gear up during their entire flying career."

I intend to remain in this latter group.

all the best,

(2000+ hours in retractable since 1991 and no belly scratches yet. One gear
warning save during training.)
