Cockpit footage of an approach to the Megeve altiport in France that ends in a gear-up landing, with the warning horn audible throughout. Everyone aboard survived and the crew had thousands of flight hours.

Cited as a vivid example that experienced pilots can ignore loud alarms, in threads on alarm design and gear-up landings.

[LINK] Anyone hear a weird beeping noise? Wonder what it could mean...oh well, I'm sure it's not important, we're about to land anyway. [VIDEO] Geez that sound is annoying, I hope it stops soon.

my favorite example: [VIDEO] I believe it's better to read the description after you watch the video.

Here, two experienced pilots land gear up (in a small single engine machine) even though it beeps loudly... [VIDEO]

The level of obnoxiousness is hard to get right. Here, two pilots land a small plane gear up, even though a loud warning horn is sounding throughout. [VIDEO]

Youtube is full of examples pilots landing gear up, with the gear-up warning system clearly blaring in the background. [VIDEO] This does not only happen to little propeller airplanes. Heres an Airbus A320 where the pilot managed to land gear up despite the presence of all kinds of safeguards and automation. [LINK] Humans are funny animals.
