Narrative:

Inside the FAF to runway 16L at denver, the GPWS sounded, because of late extension of the landing gear. Actually, the crew had caught their mistake and lowered the gear prior to GPWS, but the gear was still in the final process of extension. The red warning and alarm did go off in the process. Extenuating circumstances were 3 runway changes from den approach and of most significance, an ACARS alert of 30 KTS loss of airspeed from a microburst alert from dispatch. The crew was asking tower about windshear for runway 16L, when they caught the lack of a landing checklist in the ECAM, the call was made for gear extension. The GPWS worked as advertised. The gear was being extended during the alert. A normal landing followed.
