Dude, where's your gear?!
Notice just how close the crew lowers the gear in relation to the airport. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
About 10 seconds in, the pitch attitude raises slightly and the flaps appear to lower (possibly beyond 15 degrees). The upward pitch would be in expectation of the nose down moment you would get when the flaps get lowered beyond 15 degrees when drag becomes more prevalent. At that point, the Config warning probably sounded and the PNF probably jumped on the gear. On an ILS, the gear and flaps are hanging out before the OM, on a visual you have more leeway, but flaps/gear are on the landing checklist ("30 degrees, green lights"), and I am reasonably sure the PF didn't call for the landing checklist on short final....someone missed something...glad he didn't stay at flaps 15, he may not have gotten the warning until the GPWS sounded...

I was thinking there was a throttle switch, that if they retard the throttles so far back, that it would give a gear warning.... If memory serves. Been along time since I have been on one of those.
I read the comments before watching the video, it was close, but not that bad. I thought it happened the second before touchdown.
There are a few reasons this could have happened... 1.) Low on fuel, 2.) Late Check List, 3.) Brain in wrong gear... At least he landed in one piece.
I'll vote for #3.lol
I was trying to be nice.
I know.lol
