@2drewbaker Its a 172RG dude. and once you get in ground effect its almost impossible to power out of that, youre gonna hit the ground. Better not to try cause then your prop may not be repairable...

Well done! I thought the "proper use of checklists" is in like every PTS book every written and how did a DPE and a cpl applicant both miss that annoying beeping?
There's a reason the ATC says, "Check gear down." Situations like these we're all going to have to have "Bitching Bob" mandatory in all aircraft. Fun! |:^\
The accident report shows the PIC was a commercial pilot/flight instructor. If this video was posted with his permission then my hat's off to him. I say good on him for allowing others to see that none of us are immune to lapses in concentration, and reinforcing the need for constant attention to checklists, especially the memory items.
@vhmam I think the PIC was the applicant (DE's are discouraged from being PIC although there are some uncommon situations in which they will be) . In anycase he doesn't legally own the video. The guy who took the video is the legal owner unless the DE made him sign otherwise before the flight.
@RobertGary1 Fair enough. I stand by what I said though. None of us are immune to making mistakes, and that's why we check, check and triple check. I've been flying for 35 years but the day I take the attitude that "It'll never happen to me" is the day I should give it away. I'm very comfortable in the cockpit but these sorts of incidents remind us that we can be as confident as we like, flying is not our natural habitat, and a lack of vigilance will bite us.
@Tad7772 This is the gear alert; it activates when the flaps are down to the 2nd notch. The stall warning horn is an electric blower motor exhausting into what looks like a bicycle horn which emits a constant high tone. It sounds crude, but that's what it is. I've pulled many out of wrecked Cessnas.
@newforestroadwarrior Oh, it works...the problem is that the pilot and front passenger both have their David Clarks on and are chatting when they should've had a 'sterile cockpit'...which means no talking other than communication to get the checklist read and the tasks done. They could've heard the gear warning on-off tone; the convo about Spongebob BBQ mitts at Home Depot can wait until $100 cheeseburger time at The Prop Stop.
An earlier commenter stated the video was fake because the pilots weren't reacting as expected, no drama. Well, what's the point in acting like a butt-raped chimp on Red Bull in this situation? It's not gonna fix the plane. Plus it'll make any witnesses laugh to see a sideshow. But this is the age of drama, I suppose. The age of toddlerhood goes up to 20 nowadays.
Their are a few problems... First you were too high on approach, you didnt do a pre landing checklist and you didnt pay attention to the landing gear alarm that was telling you that your landing gear was up in the first place. I know people make mistakes but you have to be more aware especially when you fly.
Did a check flight on a Cessna 172 Cutlass identical to the one in the video recently. I talked to my check instructor about this video when we were discussing about the gear up horn, and we kind of agreed that sometimes when you get into the habbit of not doing something, you kind of tune out to the little details such as dropping the gear. Talking in flight during the landing phase is also very distracting. Doing a 'GUMPS' check during each leg of the traffic pattern/circuit is a good idea.
@RocketBird120 finals checks, red, blue 3 greens and locked is not only a good idea, its mandatory in a RG/ CSU. these guys were stupid. Poor guy in the back must have wondered what the hell was going on
I've argued with sulako before, but I have returned for more haha! I call bullshit. The reaction from both guys up front is not anything what you would expect for having, more than likely, totaled your fucking airplane. Also sulako originally title this a 182, but now I see he has correctly changed it to a Skyhawk - good job! Also the shit about an approaching snowstorm and possible icing doesn't make sense. When the weather sucks you sure as fuck don't go out and do a checkride.
Please tell me the gear was stuck up, and the emergency gear down handle was broken, and everyone in the cockpit were deaf and the flashing light accompanying that gear up situation was burned out?!
Tower should have visually confirmed and warned them about gear not being down on final.dumbest mistake was ignoring that beep sound. or idunno maybe they thought the beep was coming form the weather channel warning them about the snow storm, idiots.
@theturnerconnection Sorry you missed my point, it was a metaphore for NOT RELYING ON GOVERNMENT TO KEEP YOU FROM LANDING WITH THE FUCKIN' ROLLERS TUCKED.
WoW - I hope this guy never sits right seat in any Airliner that I am flying!! Hmmm, Whats that loud bell going off - It couldn't be an engine fire could it ???????????
Both Check Airman and the want a be Commercial Pilot both need to have their licenses yanked!!!
ok, so, you fail your check ride, I need your PPL and med cert., and your check airman, well, hes fired. WTF!!!!!!!!! They make gear down alarms just for people like you.
yeah there's versions of the 172's that have retractable gear. even some 150's have it. just depends on if the owner wants to pay the extra money for it.
@stuckzipr hey bud, yeah sorry about that! there's an experimental 152 on the airfield i work at that has retractable gear. he just calls himself a 152 and not experimental. guess thats where i got mixed up. i just control planes dont fly them. haha. he has a different engine in it i guess for the extra weight. i'll try and get the details on it and let you know
@Avatar230594 haha that BUMISH check is so stupid, why would u check the headset for, and how are u supposed to do all that on short final, u just do a before landing check on the downwind and a GUMP check turning final
Wow....well thats one way to finish a check ride :/ . I fly at LKN (14A) and a guy there just got new floats put on his plane, While on final some idiot not paying attention and not on the radio pulled out on the departure runway (uncontrolled airfield) so the guy had to go around, he put his gear up out of habit and when he came around he forgot to put them back down. Luckily since he also has floats he didnt ding a prop but perfectly good way to ruin brand new floats.
Man id rather a normal 172 over a RG any day. The risk of the hydraulics failing aint worth the extra 5 knots in cruise. Ur already in a single, why keep adding risk.
@DreamVikings The smallest Cessna single with an RG that I would buy would be the C-210 Centurion. Any of the smaller ones like the Skyhawk, Skylane, or Cardinal I don't feel benefit greatly enough to be worth the added risk, insurance, and maintenance of the RG. The C-210 on the other hand, is a different bird altogether that really gets up and goes.
@DreamVikings Are you a fan of Bellanca Vikings by any chance? They are some of the most beautiful airplanes made of wood, fabric and steel tubing---and very fast!
@maverickdallas100 Never heard of them. I searched and they looked like a cherokee, but if they are made of what you say they must be a real blitz for a single.
@DreamVikings The Super Viking and Turbo Viking are a real blitz! Each Viking was meticulously handcrafted. The wing is spruce and mahogany (with about 1800 handmade parts) and is VERY strong. The interior was luxuriously appointed as well. The finish was flawless. The specifications compete favorably with the Beech V-35B Bonanza, but the handling qualities of the Viking would likely turn a Bonanza pilot (both V-tail and conventional tail) green with envy!
Landing Checklist complete... are you sure? come on guys, just a joke. I previously read somewhere that they were making lots of T&G and somehow, on final landing, they just forgot about the landing gear... shit happens ¬¬
strange they didn't hear the alarm at all....I've had these kind of earphones as well, but it's only a noise reduction system, not a noise killer system,
If you train touch and go's, then why not use the checklist 'before landing' as well? It's part of the procedure. Next time you forget your flaps before landing and fall out of the sky.
Anybody makes mistakes, I'm glad nobody got hurt and thumbs up for posting this video!! Let it be a lesson for all pilots!
Took guts to post this - thanks for letting us see what happens from the inside. I've witnessed this right next to the runway. Thought it would be worse inside. They say there are 2 kinds of pilots - one who forgot to lower the gear and one who will. Three in the green baby!
The 172RG means a 172 with Retractable Gear. The warning beeps can not be heard in the head sets. The stall warning also can not be heard in the headset. Cessna should fix this system so it is heard or place a warning light on the panel.
@Twostones00 Actually, the warning beeps can be heard with the headset. First, the speaker is very loud, so chances are you hear it anyway. Second, if the pilot has the audio set up properly it will also ring into the headset audio. THIRD, it's not a stall warning, it's a gear up warning.
@Palexb14 If you would read my comment carefully you will find i did not say it was a stall warning. I know it is a gear up warning. I simply stated.."The stall warning also can not be heard in the headset." Every pilot of this model knows that. I found out about not hearing the stall warning when i had a hard landing as a result. Also note the Gear up warning has a volume control. The stall warning sound does not.
@rahulras Cessna did build the 172 Skyhawk and 182 Skylane with both fixed landing gears and retractables. The "RG" designation is a retractable gear model. They also built the 172 Skyhawk XP with a fixed gear, a more powerful engine and a constant speed (variable pitch) propeller. I had a lot of fun flying these Cessnas and the were roomy and comfortable.
@flintp51 Did the examiner also forget the pre-landing checklist??? With two pilots up front, one should have made sure the landing gear was down. Also on these high-wing Cessnas, you can look right out your window and see the landing gear. It's hard to miss, especially during daylight hours.
I am absolutely stunned with how stupid both pilots are! Gear up landings should never occur (ever heard of a GUMP check?), and certainly not in fair weather with a CFI on board!!! Both of these men should never, ever, fly anything again!!! And frankly, I think the insurance company should deny the claim as the incident expresses nothing short of gross negligence!
@JGMagoo The retractable gear version of the 172 is called the "Cutlass" instead of the "Skyhawk," and it was built in the late '70s and early '80s. If I remember correctly, the cutlasses actually have an airworthiness certificate under the 175 "Skylark" airframe, so they have more horsepower (~210) and higher payload.
@Tuffo3 in a small airplane like that the engine is very very very loud. The headsets they use cancel out a ton of noise, so that may be why. The horn is designed to be loud enough, though. So who knows?
This is why I always use a before-landing checklist. I'm not so overly confident in myself that I feel I can get by without them. All pilots will make mistakes, but I really can't comprehend what a reasonable excuse for a gear-up landing would be, other than mechanical failure. However, I hope this pilot used the opportunity to improve and got some more training.
Obviously the check pilot on the ride was equally incompetent. The guy in the back noticed the wheels were down, he pointed the camera at them, and didn't say anything..... triple fail...
So, that is why they have only one green light on the Cessna single RG's- YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE F'ING MAIN GEAR!!!!!!!!
Doing a flight review 30 years ago in a Mooney 201- the pilot listened to that gear horn right from midfield downwind down to 10 ft off the runway when I told him to go around and identify that noise- needless to say, it did not happen again, because he was shaking so much. Finished the flight review a few days later.
It's cool to follow the rules. No uneccessary conversation on approach. Checklist.....every time, without fail. Even if the gear WAS being routinely left in the lowered position, you still put your hand on the control and acknowledge the status....up or down and whether it is where you want it to be. If this had been a routine flight between point A and point B, I bet neither of these pilots would have made that mistake.
thats a gear warning horn faggots, as a result of being too high the faggot pilot pilot and his faggot instructor became consumed with making the field and didnt understand what the sound was. Shit pilots the lot of them. everyone fuck off. religion kills humans thank you
172 with retractable gear ??? I would say it was 182RG or similiar. Also i wonder if this was accidental ?! There was warning sound alarmed and pilot still didn't lower the landing gear, i would say that the landing gear got stucked
Requiring full throttle to taxi is nature's way of saying you've landed with your gear up.

The interior was luxuriously appointed as well. The finish was flawless. The specifications compete favorably with the Beech V-35B Bonanza, but the handling qualities of the Viking would likely turn a Bonanza pilot (both V-tail and conventional tail) green with envy!

Landing Checklist complete... are you sure? come on guys, just a joke. I previously read somewhere that they were making lots of T&G and somehow, on final landing, they just forgot about the landing gear... shit happens ¬¬

strange they didn't hear the alarm at all....I've had these kind of earphones as well, but it's only a noise reduction system, not a noise killer system,
If you train touch and go's, then why not use the checklist 'before landing' as well? It's part of the procedure. Next time you forget your flaps before landing and fall out of the sky.
Anybody makes mistakes, I'm glad nobody got hurt and thumbs up for posting this video!! Let it be a lesson for all pilots!

Took guts to post this - thanks for letting us see what happens from the inside. I've witnessed this right next to the runway. Thought it would be worse inside. They say there are 2 kinds of pilots - one who forgot to lower the gear and one who will. Three in the green baby!

The 172RG means a 172 with Retractable Gear. The warning beeps can not be heard in the head sets. The stall warning also can not be heard in the headset. Cessna should fix this system so it is heard or place a warning light on the panel.
Twostones00 8 months ago
@Twostones00 Actually, the warning beeps can be heard with the headset. First, the speaker is very loud, so chances are you hear it anyway. Second, if the pilot has the audio set up properly it will also ring into the headset audio. THIRD, it's not a stall warning, it's a gear up warning.
Palexb14 7 months ago
@Palexb14 If you would read my comment carefully you will find i did not say it was a stall warning. I know it is a gear up warning. I simply stated.."The stall warning also can not be heard in the headset." Every pilot of this model knows that. I found out about not hearing the stall warning when i had a hard landing as a result. Also note the Gear up warning has a volume control. The stall warning sound does not.

@coxairman And I think RG stands for "Rectractable Gear " :)
rahulras 8 months ago
@rahulras Cessna did build the 172 Skyhawk and 182 Skylane with both fixed landing gears and retractables. The "RG" designation is a retractable gear model. They also built the 172 Skyhawk XP with a fixed gear, a more powerful engine and a constant speed (variable pitch) propeller. I had a lot of fun flying these Cessnas and the were roomy and comfortable.
maverickdallas100 7 months ago
@maverickdallas100 Correction: The RG variant of the C-172 Skyhawk was called the Cutlass. They were built in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

flintp51 8 months ago
@flintp51 Did the examiner also forget the pre-landing checklist??? With two pilots up front, one should have made sure the landing gear was down. Also on these high-wing Cessnas, you can look right out your window and see the landing gear. It's hard to miss, especially during daylight hours.
maverickdallas100 7 months ago
@maverickdallas100 well, that was my point. I hope he refunded the pilot his $300 for the checkride

I am absolutely stunned with how stupid both pilots are! Gear up landings should never occur (ever heard of a GUMP check?), and certainly not in fair weather with a CFI on board!!! Both of these men should never, ever, fly anything again!!! And frankly, I think the insurance company should deny the claim as the incident expresses nothing short of gross negligence!

Pretty hard to make a gear-up landing in a Cessna 172! It's a fixed-gear plane. (NON retractable.)
JGMagoo 8 months ago
@JGMagoo There is also a retractable version.
TheKartist 8 months ago
@JGMagoo The retractable gear version of the 172 is called the "Cutlass" instead of the "Skyhawk," and it was built in the late '70s and early '80s. If I remember correctly, the cutlasses actually have an airworthiness certificate under the 175 "Skylark" airframe, so they have more horsepower (~210) and higher payload.

How did they not hear the gear horn? You'd think it was load and annoying enough, right? I seriously don't see how they didn't hear it.
Tuffo3 9 months ago
@Tuffo3 in a small airplane like that the engine is very very very loud. The headsets they use cancel out a ton of noise, so that may be why. The horn is designed to be loud enough, though. So who knows?
miksta115 9 months ago
@miksta115 Noise cancelling headsets only cancel out constant tone noise, they wouldn't cancel out a beeping noise.

CBKillas 9 months ago
This is why I always use a before-landing checklist. I'm not so overly confident in myself that I feel I can get by without them. All pilots will make mistakes, but I really can't comprehend what a reasonable excuse for a gear-up landing would be, other than mechanical failure. However, I hope this pilot used the opportunity to improve and got some more training.

JROD8796 10 months ago
So, that is why they have only one green light on the Cessna single RG's- YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE F'ING MAIN GEAR!!!!!!!!
Doing a flight review 30 years ago in a Mooney 201- the pilot listened to that gear horn right from midfield downwind down to 10 ft off the runway when I told him to go around and identify that noise- needless to say, it did not happen again, because he was shaking so much. Finished the flight review a few days later.
skipde 10 months ago
It's cool to follow the rules. No uneccessary conversation on approach. Checklist.....every time, without fail. Even if the gear WAS being routinely left in the lowered position, you still put your hand on the control and acknowledge the status....up or down and whether it is where you want it to be. If this had been a routine flight between point A and point B, I bet neither of these pilots would have made that mistake.
