Altiport landing in Megéve, France without landing gear, vid

Post by USAFE »

Hi chaps,

my father-in-law just uploaded a nice video.
He was a passenger in an airplane, while the pilot landed without
the landing gear in MVV.

Interesting video! I'm not a pilot; did they know the gear was not down, and was the annoying beep a warning signal for this?

At 1:28 the guy on the right asks "you didn't lower the gear?" and the guy on the left replies "no".
