This video has been discussed at length on an aviation-based forum I visit.

Apparently, the guy in the right seat is an instructor, the guy in the left, the airplane's owner. None of the three remember hearing the gear warning horn.

I have noise cancelling headsets in my airplane, yet the gear warning horn is still obnoxiously loud. not sure how anybody could miss it, other than being totally preoccupied with some other emergency so that the brain is blocking out distractions. This does not appear to be the case here.

The consensus among pilots:

"Baffling"

An airplane like mine will quickly gain excess speed when descending if the gear is not down- The gear is routinely used to slow the airplane down.

Another point- Look at pictures of any airplane that landed gear-up, and the flaps are down. I always put the gear down prior to lowering any flaps. That's SOP with a Bonanza, as the gear helps slow the airplane down to max flap speed. No flaps are used until descending on final approach. The gear is used to initiate the descent- Level flight at reduced power, and I lower the gear when I want to descend, and don't touch anything else- The airplane is then on a nice, stablized approach.

(After stating this, I sure hope I don't land gear-up next week!)
