And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Forgot something, like lowering the landing gear. Otherwise, nicely done.
Because having power is better than not having power. That 3 blade prop was gonna get bent either way.
What happens if he has to abort the landing because, say an overzealous crash truck obstructed the runway? That's actually happened. The insurance company already owns the engine.
Once the gear won't come down, the aircraft belongs to the insurance company anyway, why endanger yourself if you need to abort the landing? The prop is gonna windmill , and thus the engine is gonna be damaged and require a teardown and IRAN anyway, under power or not.
That's that Grob with gear malfunction. Same aircraft had same problem in 2016 and 2021. Training aircraft used by Lufthansa in AZ. It's as fine a landing as a pilot would want given the circumstance.
Anything you can walk away from…
ReplyDeleteEntirely possible the gear would not come down.
ReplyDeleteIf they knew the gear was NO then why didn't they kill the engine before impact, that plane is a write off.

A prop strike with the engine running can destroy the crankshaft and total the engine.
DeleteFAA requires the engine be opened up after a propstrike.

This happened about 5 years ago in Pheonix, gear malfunction.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't left one up there yet.
