Eclipse Jet lands gear-up

[gkrangers]

haha, I think we all do buddy. I was this close to going to be a flight academy dood too. But then I went to the mormon town university BYU, so I get it for that all the time. Now, we just need to learn to dish it out...

I think the "outside" people think everyone here walks around in a flight suit, their David Clarks around their neck, and a pocket size E6B at all times....

Some of you better hope this doesn't happen to you. Even if you do all the checklists, sometimes you can be so tired/busy/having a bad day, that you may just read the checklist without checking. Never make fun at someone for landing with the gear up, next time it may be you.

Not at all times...ever try to catch a jump or take a dump with all that stuff on?

Wizard--I only know 1 ERAU grad, but I don't think you would've made it there because you can't spell the word "dude"! (All in fun)

Those that have and those that will.

Good one. No one is perfect. I had a near gear up when the circut breaker poped on a 172 RG. You couldn't see the green light because of the early morning sun against the panel. Only thing that saved me was the fence check. I fully understand how this could have happend. I doubt the test aircraft was equiped with a gear warning horn or a position light.

Yep, I'm perfect. I never make mistakes, never will, and I'm much better than you.

Yeah there's a jackass statement... along with Mini's "checklist" comment. When I was an isntructor at Riddle, an instructor on my team who shall remain nameless geared up a Seminole.

There are those who have and those who will....
