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.

They are very very many things that should’ve drawn their attention to troubleshoot which then should have highlighted when they’re doing a panel scan. Why are there three greens instead of three reds where the gear lights are? why will the aircraft not accelerate past 230 kn? Why is the fuel use so high? Why is it very noisy? Why is the rate of climb so slow? All of those things and more should have been a trigger so anybody can make a mistake to forget the gear but to me it’s unforgivable not to troubleshoot when there is a very obvious problem with the aircraft performance.

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!!

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.

Wait a minute ! ?, no alarms "?" . I mean, despite the not noticing by the pilots..

[@SinergiaAlUnisono]

I mean, telemetry to help distracted pilots seems so easy to implement.. And it would allow for a backup mesure to avoid these events from happening at all. And instead of suspension, turn these events to call for attention if they have to be reminded of such a thing.

Incredible...

There has to be some warning system for this kind of issue you would think built into the planes warning system with the amount of sensors on the plane

I'm not in the business, but isn't "Gear Up" part of the "After Takeoff" checklist?

[@stevesebek7962]

there is an alarm for everything , except that ?

[@gautamv952]

Wow! A delay of only 3 hours and 45 minutes! That's at least three hours less than the usual delay Air India experiences on a normal day.

I'm at a loss for words on this one.

[@skullsaintdead]

Why'd you specifically mention their gender at the start? I haven't seen you do this with all male flight crews. Are all-male flight crews also implicitly to blame because of their maleness (e.g. Delta 1141, all-male flight crew talking inappropriately about the dating habits of the female flight attendants?) or are we just blaming the women? Check your biases, please!

Somebody got triggered. Now go to your safe space.

[@robertdesantis6205]

@skullsaint Because it makes the male pilots who forget to lower their gear when landing, causing severe damage to the plane, injuring and killing hundreds of passengers while still keeping their jobs, feel better about themselves.

[@mph1ish]

Yes, we're blaming the women.
