Either or both Main Landing gears absent is also as devastating because of the propellers. (Refer SAS Q400 Incident) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desmond C 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Either or both Main Landing gears absent is also as devastating because of the propellers. (Refer SAS Q400 Incident) Luckily it's high enough to avoid the propeller having contact with the ground. Damn, it must be scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sung 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 That incident happened back in 1992 where the left main gear collasped and veered off the runway. I've seen the photos of the incident when I was in fokker line mas hangar 1. When the incident happened, the mas rescue came over and straight away painted the mas logo in white so no one will notice what airline it was. That's cool.

Waiping 12 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 The news got edited out and being replaced by "Fuel Price Expected to Increase in August." At least the plane still in 1 piece. Can still fly, right? That incident happened back in 1992 where the left main gear collasped and veered off the runway. I've seen the photos of the incident when I was in fokker line mas hangar 1. When the incident happened, the mas rescue came over and straight away painted the mas logo in white so no one will notice what airline it was. That's cool. Well maybe this time AK staff will take the part and paint it red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sung 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, it's still can fly. But you still have to rectify the nose gear and assest the damage first. By doing so, you require jacks to jack the whole aircraft up to carry out further inspections. The nose gear assembly is right in front of the forward pressure bulkhead. So, if during the belly landing has scrapped the forward bulkhead, I doubt it can fly anymore and requires to do repair insitu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
