Gentlemen,
There are those who are going to and those who have, sorta like flying tail draggers and ground looping. The laws of averages they say will eventually catch up with everybody. I've been lucky in my 25,000+ hours, over a couple thousand in tail draggers, but it has been close a few times, ground loops and a couple times with the gear! Following and using a checklist properly will help eliminate the gear up problem, but mechanical things do happen. It is easy to after the fact comment with out all details. Accidents usually have three main causes.
For this reason our AOA system has an optional gear warning, It does not depend upon just throttle being reduced, but on three things, manifold pressure, gear position, and AOA. Audio voice says Landing Gear, Landing Gear. On amphibian aircraft it is wired so that when above conditions are met one will always get the Landing Gear, Landing Gear Audio to verify down for landing on terra firma or splashing down on H2O. Two companies who sell amphibian floats and amphibian aircraft highly recommend the system. www.riteangle.com
