Well, my hat's off to Domini for admitting he made the mistake.

....but you missed that the landing gear was still up!!

 

Indeed. I missed the obvious because I was looking for more unusual anomalies.

 

I see this is your first comment on this post so you missed all the things I noticed Mr Late to the Party! :P

Does it matter if it was his first post or 4th post, still remains that you missed the obvious,  better late  to the party than missing it all together :P

Hmmmm... that is why there is a before landing checklist!

 

I am trying to get used to my new Saitek Flight yoke and rudder pedals.

On one of my first landing with the yoke I was so engrossed in landing the

Real Air Duke, at KBZN, that I never deployed the gear.

 

The cool thing was that the Duke simulated smoke and sparks as I

Slid down the runway. : (

There's been more than a few times where I do the opposite: switch from flying something with fixed gear to retractable, and forget to raise the gear after takeoff. Fly along for a little bit wondering why I'm not getting the performance I should be... ^_^

No worries. My question on the sources was aiming at having something documented to look at.

 

So if there is something in the Boeing docs explaining the exact conditions as to when the FMC considers the flight to have ended and going in the lets call it reset condition, it should be easy to find. As said, I wasn't able to  :blush:  and also experienced a lets say confusing behaviour (in regard to this feature) in the sim. Hence my interest.

 

Besides, what did you actually tell the insurance, Domini? :o We could blame the runway for pushing the gear back up.

I told them the runway was waaaay too scary, so the landing gear got scared and retracted itself so it could feel safe in it's cover again, after that i was unable to calm the gear down so it would lower again.

Lol I often hit the gear button on my yoke while flying a fixed gear aircraft, and it takes me a couple of seconds before I call myself stupid.
