It is a major accomplishment of modern commercial aviation that now, a gear-down error + missed approach qualifies as a noteworthy safety catch. Aviation safety has come so far in 50 years. I have read that the frequency of major safety incidents is so rare now that detection and diagnosis of errors has had to go farther and farther "upstream" towards monitoring and detecting the potential contributors to eventual safety problems. There just are almost no more accidents to study each year. A non-stabilized approaches is itself now cause for study. Truly admirable.
