Speak up or shut up
You’re ready for takeoff, holding short of the runway, when you notice the airplane on final, a Beech Sierra, has its landing gear retracted. Speak up or shut up?
- Of course I’d speak up. I would call to the aircraft and the tower. Loudly!! —Ken Moore
- I would and I have made that call over the frequency. Saves the people from a gear-up landing AND keeps the runway open so you can still get outta there. —James Foster
