Very close to having this happen to me once. It was foggy and there was a malfunction so they didn’t know if landing gear was down. Scary

Watched similar happen at work except after he struck runway he tried to climb back up and go around (?!) They never made it. Went into
A house just past the runway. Not something you expect to see when you clock in. The NTSB report was stunning..lots of shit decisions.

You know you forgot the landing gear when it takes max power to taxi to the gate.

That was as smooth as a smooth thing.

Congrats to the pilot do wonder though how much damage is done to the runway when these things happen

Former aircraft maintainer and have dealt with landing gear malfunctions. So. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
valen00
Would I be right in saying that wasn't fire coming out the back of the plane bit was instead liquid money?
physicsisalwaysrelevant
If not liquid money, it's liquid airplane

What the fuck does one say to the passengers before that happens?

Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye. I mean -- Assume the brace position.

Pucker up!

I want to say I remember CNN showing this live. Really impressive.
UnpairedSock
What event was this?
As I remember, it wasn't any event, it was a plane that had a malfunctioning landing gear that would not lower so it had to belly slide
sfbiker
No one forgot anything, this was a very well done wheels-up landing with fire crews ready to go
acetothermus
That'll buff right out. Little wax and no one will notice.
Bondo!
djmaskell
And speed tape. Can't forget the speed tape.

Just a little smudge.
Tis but a scratch!

All things considered, that was a fantastic landing

Every emergency landing you can walk away from is a good opportunity to sue.
SilverNicktail
Was just coming down here to post that. Very calmly and cleanly done.
tcpolecat7
Hell of an emergency landing, for sure.
JayEnfield
Check this one out too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgnkY4xzaZE
youcanreachmenow
Yea the grpahics on Simulator X are amazing
NCPBullet
Absolutely stellar execution. Landing without the wheels required him to come in much more level or risk slapping the tail down first
Which can...break the tail off or deform it at best. Or cause a tumble at worst. Tumble = bad
Kim8them
Is the plane a write off after that or is it repairable?
Most of the time. But even with a scrapped structure they are full of juicy juicy parts. And still worth lots of dollerydoo
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
teabaggerino
And if you dont write the aircraft off its perfect.
jofo4242
A great landing is one where you can use the plane again
FukcTedCruz
Woulda been pretty cool if the wheels came down tho.
HateClub
Ye, but he's light , not a 200 tones airbus, that makes the difference
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy
That was really well done. Even if I walk away with a fudge bottom, at least I'm walking away.
GreasyFartKnocker
A good landing is any landing you can walk away from.

Skid marks.

Pretty sure pilots keep an extra set of pants in the cockpit for just such an occasion
NinjaGrizzlyBear
I'm guessing the flames were caused by your pre-fudge farts?
TheBIFFALLO87
I will gladly take a man size dump in my durango's over death, any day.
kaeldra
I was on a plane that this happened to once... well not exactly i think the wheels came down but the slowing flaps wouldnt work. It was 1/2
Pretty scary when they made the announcement and lots of wailing from passengers. Landed like a champ though and all was well.
Still was weird getting off the plane with a bunch of fire trucks/ems and dudes in flame retardant suits and stuff to greet us.
If they had to rely on the brakes alone, there's an ENORMOUS amount of heat in there. Enough to light tires on fire potentially.
Oh yeah, I figured that. Thank goodness the pilot did a good job and everything worked out ok.
Indeed! I've been on a flight greeted by fire engines, it's a bit stressful.
WellWhatTheHeck
Interesting (?) fact: the bottom of these planes are reinforced for exactly that reason.
Fafanori
so... what you're saying is... dem planes be dummy thicc?
mmartin762
I was just gonna ask, do you think they could fix it? Or is it a total loss after that.
Varaxis
I recall an F-15 Eagle being repaired and returned to service after it lost a wing in a mid-air collision. Israeli-owned though
thejinseng
most likely an insurance writeoff. this plane (hawker 800?) is pressurized, so structural repair is gonna be a b**ch.
Rdc24703
Total loss for sure.
It would be very expensive to re cert it. Think: Every inch of support structure would have to be x-rayed. No point, just scrap it.
Not exactly reinforced, but designed for survivability if this happens. Some have a skid rail or beam under critical areas, but not all.
Things like connecting the floor to the sides instead of to the bottom make sure the floor doesn't punch up into the cabin if this happens.
ThatsMyNameDontWearItOut
Name checks out. I trust what you say.
busyDayAtWork
Agreed. No doubt this dude is our resident expert.
theMightyPlatypus
Go on...
phonoodle415
I worked out last week
Emperorofman
Im proud of you
Re-enforced for this? Not exactly. But designed with this as a last ditch effort to save the passengers at the expense of the plane sure
TheZillaShow
I'm stupid so I'll lead with that but with my limited cognitive skills it sounds like you're agreeing with him and then repeating yourself.
louferrigno
You are note stupid. A bit overcautious in your comments, maybe. But then again, times are tough.
The only difference I was pointing out is that the term re-enforced would imply the plane would be functionally ok after this
You're not stupid. The distinction I made was minor and only really matters if you're breaking it down to some serious nerd shit. I'm a nerd
verinoth
I doubt anybody is wondering, but this was well communicated with the airport. Fire trucks already at every turn off.
goatmFitBeast
It helped me reminisce.
sparkably
I was wondering, but my dad was a ff and went to many plane crashes, so I was sad the gif was too short to see.
nonamejanie
Thank you.
shogunium
Is there some reason not to pre foam that runway?
More than 140 characters can fit probably. I'd guess friction, waste, cleanup, and not actually preventing the plane from being on fire.
HiddenSanity
So there was a firetruck at golden showers?
Heh
loremaster85
I've seen either a longer version of this, or a similar clip, where fire trucks were all over the plane the second it stopped.
donutsauce
If it's any consolation, I was wondering.
asiandelight
I, indeed, was wondering and was consoled. Thank you.
I too was wondering, and now feeling consoled.

This is just guessing. But I imagine there is a notification about the landing gear if you go below a certain height... or speed.
Tarmaccian
The one plane I know warns you loudly if you go anywhere near a ground-pointing direction without gear down. Bitching Betty does her job.
wolf387465
there is... sometime that alarm is what can bring the plane down though ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines_Flight_401
it was an episode of air crash investigations... https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7u0q94
I looked it up. For the most part, there is. (And it's because small a light indicator, didn't seem to cut it)
ChiliBeef
Need a bondulance there, friend?
I guess I do. :D I could probably need some sleep.
aneyeholeman
Airline pilot here- ours is based on alt, flap configuration, and thrust lever position. Loud high pitched horn starts blaring.
Do you know this from training? Or experience? :D
Both. We can occaaionally be in normal situations where it'll happen as a nieusance warning.
Mozzy4Ever
Problem is when pilots mute/ignore the warning cause it's a nuisance.. Have seen it happen several times in aircraft maintenance.
