+Stary Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Seems everything is ok, plane 14 years old :clapping: :clapping:

+Stary Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 kpt. Tadeusz Wrona reports everyone's safe and sound, gear was stuck, unable to extend gravitationally, plane was circling for hour over Warsaw to burn 4 tonnes from remaining 7 of fuel
+Major Lee Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/11/01/flight-from-us-makes-crash-landing-in-poland/ Smooth.... WOW! Great job.
+Stary Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 it's first time in Warsaw's Chopin Int. Airport case of gear-up landing
+hgbn Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Yes Smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth is the word, Great job from the crew
+FastCargo Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Nice job guys...they shouldn't have to buy beer in any pilot hangout for the rest of their lives! FC 1
+daddyairplanes Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 great job by the crew! although i wannaa know why something like this happens anytime i fly
+Gepard Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Thats the proof: a skilled pilot can land safely without landing gear. Excellent job!
+MigBuster Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Thats a great job by the pilot - truly amazing
+Stary Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 they lifted the plane, mechanically extended the landing gear to tow it away from runway
Slartibartfast Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Me I am just glad that when I fly the airplane takes off and lands okay... normally with all its parts though some may have moved around in flight. Like the time I went to Washington DC and my luggage went to Jamaica...
+FastCargo Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 This thread has been cleaned up and all irrelevant posts and responses have been removed. FC
Derk Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Things lik this are the reason pilots have to do such a lot of training... Now one sees the usefullnes of a pilots license with a lot of flying hours, simulator hours, practice landings etc A job very well done !!
+JediMaster Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Training and experience are both necessary, because there's no way to cover it all in training, and there's little chance you'll remember everything years later if you've not used it. I can't even begin to list the things I've forgotten about physics I knew just 15 years ago!
+Stary Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 (...) I can't even begin to list the things I've forgotten about physics I knew just 15 years ago! like in "nothing can travel faster than light" oh, wait... it can
+JediMaster Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 LOL, I remember those concepts. I'm talking about solving partial differential equations, matrices, etc.
