Too many accidents
Fair enough, but I haven't landed gear up because I have had great
training and have good habits in the landing pattern.* And "5J, left base, gear down, 26" is a lot less congestive than a lot of dissertations I've heard on the radio.

I suppose a radio call adds another check, that a ground observer might hear, look up, notice something, and have a radio at hand. I personally doubt it adds very much, and radio congestion detracts from overall safety. 'There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers' -- Dan, 5J |
