A wheels-up landing in an aircraft which doesn't have an undercarriage alarm is a wholly predictable accident. Why is there this attitude that says it's ok to see it coming, yawn about it, and do basically *nothing* to prevent it? I mean, you can stress checklists and piloting skill as much as you want, but we've built up a track record which says those things DON'T WORK to prevent these accidents, while building up a simultaneous record which says undercarriage warnings DO work. So why resist the fitment of undercarriage warnings? So, your argument is that all pilots will land with the wheel up if they do not have an alarm fitted? |
