Earning your high performance..

Ok good, that was my understanding.

The gear discussion is just thread creep.

I had an instructor who never allowed a student not to verbally acknowledge a warning horn including gear horns.

He said we go out and do maneuvers and teach people TO ignore them.

To fight that, we were required to acknowledge in those maneuvers when the horn blew, what it was and that we were “continuing”.

I’ve done it ever since. Saying out loud it’s going off can shake you from your own stupidity if you let it get that far.

I have people do that all the time with ground prox...”sink rate! Sink rate!”...”Continuing”...

Um, your company procedures say you go around for an unstable approach, and the parameters that set off the ground prox are outside of stabilized approach parameters. “Going around” or “going missed” are the proper responses.

Quite honestly, I think if you’re going to land gear up, “continuing” is going to get you there about as fast as ignoring the horn.

LOL. It’s a technique.

If they still want to rationalize it away, no technique will save them.
