and it STILL happens .
gear up landings happen sometimes by mechnical failure.
but there still instances where they "just forgot"
Bagram C-17 Accident Investigation Board complete
Headquarters AMC Public Affairs
released the results of its investigation into the Jan. 30, 2009, mishap
involving a C-17 Globemaster III that landed with retracted gear at
Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan.
The Accident Investigation Board, convened by AMC, concluded the primary
cause of the mishap was the failure of the pilots to lower the landing
gear and confirm proper aircraft landing configuration in accordance with
the Before Landing checklist.
The AIB president also found that aircrew distractions, task saturation,
reduced cockpit visual cues, failure of the flight crew to cross- monitor
Warning System alerts contributed to the mishap.
The mishap occurred as the C-17 was landing at Bagram AB during a combat
airlift mission in support of Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom and
Joint Task Force Horn of Africa operations.
The aircraft landed on the runway centerline with the landing gear
retracted and slid approximately 4,500 feet before coming to rest on the
runway. Crash, fire and rescue response was immediate, and there were no
fatalities, injuries or damage to other property. However, damage to the

Report: Pilot Error Led To B-1 Belly Landing
Failed To Verify 'Three Green'
Investigators with the US Air Force have determined it was pilot error
that led to the May 8, 2006 gear-up landing of a B-1 Lancer on a runway
in Southwest Asia.
According to the final report released by authorities at Dyess AFB, TX
Monday, the pilot unexpectedly turned over aircraft control to the co-
pilot on the final approach. The pilot reported to the air traffic
control tower that the landing gear was down, despite the fact that the
descent/before landing checklist was never completed -- and worse, the
landing gear was never lowered.
The red warning light in the gear handle -- indicating all landing gear
was not down and locked -- was illuminated for more than four minutes
during the approach. Additionally, at the time the aircraft landed, the
three "gear down" green position lights were not illuminated.
The Lancer slid 7,500 feet on its belly and engine pods, before finally
coming to rest.
Investigators concluded the cause of the mishap was both pilots' failure
to lower the landing gear during the aircraft's approach and landing.
Contributing factors for the pilots' failure to lower the landing gear
were the co-pilot's task oversaturation;
the co-pilot's urgency to complete a long mission; both pilots'
inattention to instrument readings and the descent/before landing
checklist, and the co-pilot's false belief the pilot had lowered the
landing gear.
