Hard Landing – 1 out of 3 landing gear remaining isn’t bad.

By admin | March 13, 2008

Every pilot has a bad landing. There were times I thought I’d sent the landing gear through the wing, but I must say I never did. Here’s some pictures of a couple of pilots who actually did. Actually, it’s not fair to say for sure this was a hard landing because, oddly enough, this collapse didn’t happen on the runway. The aircraft landed, and was taxiing clear of the runway when both main landing gear failed. I’m perplexed at how that could happen, and am very interested in any comments with an update to this story. Like they always say, “Anyone I can walk away from.”

    poor 104- this was the “homos of america unite” plane (I loaded the bags in that one a few times- it's written in the hold) Actually, I've been away from the RJ's for a while and looking at them now, they're a nice looking plane, but on behalf of all ground crew, maintenance, pilots and cabin crew who have ever worked on the RJ 100 or 200, I have to say One down, 57 to go!

    I bet it had something to do with the landing. A gear failure would not send the strut through the wing.A hard land would. I REALLY hard landing…..
