13. An example… HUMAN FACTOR PILOT AT CONTROLS FAILED TO LOWER THE LANDINGGEAR THE PILOT STATED A RADIO CALL INTERRUPTED HIS LANDING CHECKS (AE-102, PC-106), BUT HE THOUGHT HE LOWERED THE GEAR. Do not check since there is no privileged information in HAZREPs AN E.I. REVEALED LANDING GEAR SYSTEM WAS FULLYOPERATIONAL AT THE TIME OF THE MISHAP AND POST-MISHAPINVESTIGATION AND PHOTOGRAPHS INDICATE THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE IN THE UP POSITION. MISHAP PILOT HAD ONLY FOUR HOURS SLEEP (PC-307) PRIOR TO THE FLIGHT. THE COMMAND DID NOT HAVE AN ADEQUATE DUTY OFFICER INSTRUCTION AND THE DUTY OFFICER CALLED THE PILOT TO ANSWER SCHEDULING QUESTIONS THEREBY, NOT ALLOWING HIM THE REST REQUIRED BY OPNAVINST 3710.7 (SV-001). BASED ON THE ABOVE ANALYSIS THE AMB CONCLUDES THE MISHAP PILOT FAILED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR BECAUSE HE LACKED ADEQUATE REST AND WAS DISTRACTED BY A RADIO CALL. RAC-1 ACCEPTED.
