Canada, not BGA....
If you are almost ready to land, nicely set up with the proper descent rate, and hear a gear up warning, what do you do? You proceed to lower the gear, your left hand is currently on the open spoilers, your right on the stick... usually..... so (also usually) your gear lever is on the right side, you need your right hand, so you switch hands, left hand on stick, right hand on gear, then just slightly before your gear comes down, you flop onto the ground hard enough to break your tail since your spoilers are now full out late on final .... left hand moved over to the stick, remember? By doing nothing you flare and land on the belly.... likely less expensive to repair. Just a theory. Until you do it yourself. Ouch. |
