Incident where the pilot thought his gear was down.

'Scuze me, but, isn't that beeping the gear NOT DOWN warning ?!?!?!

Looks like someone has been using the checklists to make paper planes 

I'm sorry, but how do you forget something like that?

Looking through the comments, I found this...

NTSB: Hydraulic leak, main gear not deployed. Description is incorrect. You should be able to hear that the engine is NOT running. You can't just stop a non-feathering prop from windmilling. Pilot KNEW the gear was not deployed: ground personell informed him of that. Beeping is from the gear not down and locked while throttle is idle with flaps deployed. There was no mistake on the pilot's part

and these...

Here is what Paul Wingo said when I emailed him... Both of those guys are instructors and one of them was doing his checkride. We were doing touch and goes with the flaps down which is one reason for the alarm. It also does the same alarm for the gear. We had been flying around with the gear down the entire time due to possible ice. On the first touch and go, he raised the gear after taking off again by habit. So, when we came around, he didn't realize what he had done until afterwards.

OK, lets straighten some things up. In opposition of what the name implies, this was not an accidental gear up landing. These guys are landing due to a mechanical problem with the gear. They have probably been flying for 30 minutes or longer trying to figure a way to get the gear down. I believe that their approach was short and high due to the get-down-itis. If you notice after the landing, the pilot slaps the instrument panel in pleasure after safely landing. He was pleased, not suprised.

Hey Paul, what are the true facts? Looks like the pilot knew the gear was up, because... any pilot who flys retracts, always confirms gear down with a visual inspection... if the landing gear can be seen from the cockpit.
