Yes. I only thought about the gear too close to the airport and because I (rightly) guessed that fuel was very low I did not consult the POH In this hurry. So I pumped, but not enough (the gear control lights were not working either).
...and that is what makes it fun and challenging to fly! I appreciate that!
Yes, I should fly it a little less by intuition and pay attention to checklists and the POH a bit more.
Thank you for your detailed reply, I will take off in your TBM soon again, it is currently my favorite plane!
