. I agree @LineCrew The increased frequency of Highway landings in very noticeable. The reason most likely is that Highway landings as well as other incidents/accidents are getting more publicity than ever before, as you kinda mentioned.

I am truly glad you guys are setting your differences aside and are focusing on your commonalities.

When an accident happens, the thoughts and actions of that “pilot” are in public domain and shall be scrutinized for education, statistics etc. If the pilot has done things in the proper manner, then that pilot should NOT have any fear for his/her actions being scrutinized. Sully Sullenberger is a ...

Edited. Inflammatory remarks.

Do it at the least busy time of the day/night.

More importantly, make sure your radio communication sounds like a pro... specifically on your initial radio contact.

It's quite "airline" style, but that should suit some posters in this thread. I don't know if it's useful to the more "git-er-done" approach common in flying small airplanes. However there isn't anything there about running checklists two or three times, or double checking things on an ad-hoc basis...

I must be really dumb, because the more I ask about this procedure, the less I understand what TC is recommending.

You just said it yourself, not me or anyone else. But don’t beat yourself too much for it. None of us are perfect.

And I hope you understand my humour

Several posts suggest to check that you have three greens on short final or go around. Drilling that into a pilot's head is not the best idea if they're going to be flying amphibians. Three green on short final to a water landing could be fatal. Confirming that "they're down" while flying on wheel ...

You are ignoring my question. You lower the gear at 1200 ft AGL, you are stable by 1000 ft, you run the checklist. You are past the FAF, on short final, and you have confirmed that the gear is where it's supposed to be, once. How long do I have to wait before I check it a second time? Or a third ti...

Let's say you find yourself on short final, you lower the gear and you confirm 3 green. You've only checked the gear once. You don't have time to check it 2 more times as you are approaching minimums on your approach. Are you going to go around because you only checked it once? Or do you land? If y...

What is the response, in training, if the gear is incorrect and noticed only at the second, or even third check? Is that considered to be "acceptable" performance? The response SHOULD be: Noticing At Second Check: “we Poo-Pooed the first time, let’s clean up our poo-poo before anyone else notices w...
