Not the pilot's fault. The gear surrendered and refused to come out to face the ground.........

Yes, gear warning horn.  Usually alarm if gear not down and power reduced below certain point or gear not down and airspeed below a specific value.

You think the alarm would transmit into the headset so they could hear it?

That would depend on how the avionics are wired up...trust me, you can hear the warning horn with a headset on.

The only thing worse than landing with the gear up or upside down in a forest is seeing it featured on Youtube. :bhead

I remember "Rowan's Battle Of Britain" from 2000 had this implemented in the Spitfire I.

...

The last major aviation accident we have had in Spain was in 2008, when a MD-82 crashed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanair_Flight_5022) (154/172 dead) in take-off because pilots forgot to put flaps down, and the incorrect configuration alarm (TOWS) malfunctioned.

I love how the guy gets out and immediately puts his hand on the prop and finds out its HOT!!

These guys are excellent examples of what not to do.

Somewhere ... a village needs these guys.

Listened to a Bonanza declare today because he had a gear in transit light. I watched all the trucks roll for him, thankfully his gear was locked and he taxied in uneventfully.
