    Airlines and regulations require a checklist be used for a reason.

Attention to detail is a must attribute for all airline pilots to have.

      Unfortunately, "gear up" is not an item in the after takeoff checklist. Atleast, as much as I know. It's weird but it is what it is. Checklists most of the times are different in different airlines. But still has the items made mandatory by the manufacturer and the control authorities, such as FAA, DGCA etc. Gear is very important. So important that you have to do it even if it is not mentioned in the checklist.

    What's weird is that the Airbus normally has a ton of safety alarm warnings that the computers detect. You'd think they'd have a "gear extended" warning once the planes gets above 10,000 feet or so. But apparently they didn't think of that. And traditionally, when the callout for 'positive rate' is called out, they are supposed to also say, 'gear up' and do just that!! But in the UK they say 'undercarriage up' because the British always have to have different names for things.

Generally speaking, history has shown that when both the pilots know each well and are very comfortable with each other, flight safety can break down.

    Apart from everything else, "Positive rate, flaps up" instead of 'gear up' could have caused a stall. From the lack of analytical and problem solving skills, neither seem to have the qualities to pass the test to become pilots in the first place. How were they allowed to fly a commercial plane?

Yes, they will say “but they have to be qualified”, yet the reality is that if there are not enough qualified applicants, then #unitedairlines will be forced to either pass unqualified applicants or (gasp) admit that there are not enough qualified applicants, which would make their little liberal heads explode.

What this means is some company sold tickets and then contracted with an airline to provide teh airplane. A few weeks before the flight I found that an Indian Airline would be used. I was curious so I looked up the safety record. Unlike other airlines which publish their saftely record, I found that at that time India did not publish these records because they were so bad. They were considered one of the most dangerous airlines to fly with. I hanged my flight.

    Dismissed? Rightly so. If it had been something they'd missed that could cause a crash directly, I'm afraid it might be a far worse incident.

    • @malcolmwhite6588

      That could cause a crash directly aircraft are not meant to fly at high-speed with gear down. It could cause some form of structural failure, but certainly could run out of fuel and it could cause controllability issues Had They run into bad weather and exceeded the safe speed.

    They kept hearing a warning voice. It was in English. One of them said, "What is it saying," not in English.
    I think at least one passenger asked the stewardess why the wheels were still down. She said, "Not my job."

    Sounds like a bunch of errors. Complacency so they probably were not following an official checklist after takeoff You would think that, when they realized that the ascent rate was less than normal, there should be an immediate checklist that would have included the status of the landing gear. They were already on autopilot so they certainly had the time to do those checks. The only two smart things that they did were to divert when it became obvious that fuel was going to be an issue and when they realized that the gear was still down during approach they kept focus on a safe landing. I’m surprised that the onboard systems wouldn’t have raised an alarm for this. That’s a 2015 AirBus which should have relatively advanced computers that are monitoring status for issues. Gear down above a threshold altitude or above a certain airspeed should be cause for an audible and visual alarm.

    While sorry the ladies lost their jobs, and glad the aircraft landed before it ran out of fuel, this was an extraordinary error. Okay, I guess it's possible to momentarily forget to raise the wheels during takeoff, but you would have thought that one of them would have soon realised, with the slow rate of climb, inability to reach correct cruising altitude, warning lights on the panel, then the high fuel consumption due to the drag . . . As commented here, you might have thought that with all today's technology the aircraft would also issue a voice warning.
