Re: Touchdown
cue an update to the software ti add a "if (! load_on_undercarriage)" to the code that retracted the under carriage
Relying on that is specifically warned against...
Some pilots were in the habit of pre-selecting gear up, then taking off. As the aircraft leaves the ground, the wheels are retracted of their own accord. And it all looks very cool.
And then you hit a bump just before takeoff, the load goes light, and the wheels are retracted long before rotate speed...
