En-Route
Sorry if this has been posted before (I did a search and didn't see it), but how in the heck do you have something like this happen?
That looked like a steep approach. Maybe he just had to get it down and was distracted (fuel, deadline, gastric issues)? Noise canceling headset? Too much low & slow flying prior and just got immune to the tone?
I want THOSE headsets if they can tune that noise out!Noise cancelling headsets are wonderful devices, eh?
That video has made the rounds before. I believe the backstory was that there was an problem with the landing gear and the pilot was forced to land gear up. I have no idea if that information is accurate.
My Lance gear warning sounds at 15”. You cannot miss it, nor the biggest red flashing light in the panel right in front of you. If you disregard those, you deserve to gear up.
Wow, so they did forget the gear!"Both, the pilot and the mountain rate teacher have several thousands of flight hours and a huge experience, but it happens, that the gear was forgotten."

Dropping the gear would have helped with loosing altitude
Someone needs to develop a robot CFI to smack you in the back of the head under such circumstancesThat sound was very annoying to me but maybe this needs to be the gear up sound for those guys:
Good idea! Will you be the test pilot?Someone needs to develop a robot CFI to smack you in the back of the head under such circumstances
The robot would get quite a workout with me as the pilot!Good idea! Will you be the test pilot?
I have zero time in a Twinkie, so it may be way different than my 310. In the 310 I thin the horn comes on around 15 (bottom of the green). If atc leaves you high, it is tempting to pull power below the green to lose altitude, but I never want to make hearing a gear horn part of normal operations. I get some flaps out and if I need more drag I put the gear out early. I never drop below the green till short final. Works for me.I know in flying the schools twinkie the gear horn comes on sometimes at 18inches so if your decending sometimes you just tune it out. After 10 seconds or so you really dont notice it unless your paying attn.
I believe they are through the audio panel nowdays this video looks pretty old. Hell I didn't even install a speaker with my panel upgrade.I'm still amazed that cockpit warnings aren't piped into the audio panel on all aircraft especially these days with everyone wearing headsets and many being noise cancelling. Warnings over cockpit speakers should be considered obsolete or at least secondary source.
For some time it looked like a good landing, and then.....Another example

That's some displaced threshold. Takes up half the runway.
