Re: Nolinor B734 Nov 27th 2024, one main gear up landing

That was a flap issue initially and then a very hard landing resulted in the left main collapsing.

This youtube video shows ceiling panels jarred loose and most of the passenger O2 masks are deployed.

Wow was that fuel management ever messed up!

Not to feed fuel to both engines from one tank. When the ri...

Re: Bird dog down

Accident could have been avoided if he just shut the engine down and did a stabilized single engine approach and landing. All to often I read about this. I agree! Why do we keep hearing about this stuff! Poor maintenance causing an oil leak. Poor pilot training and understanding of what low oil pre...

Re: Interesting Engine Issue Situation

An engine failure would simply autofeather. The pilot only advanced one engine instead of both at low speed becaus...

The table in the accident report doesn't show any bank until they were at/below VMC. Would it not be correct to assume they wouldn't have started to roll if they kept the speed up? I knew the FO. Armchair quarterback is a shitty way to analyze things. Yeah, and you also don’t tend to die in a simul...

Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )

Couldn't they have feathered the affected engine? I get that they might have been confused about the situation, but from what I've read about the accident, feathering the engine would likely have worked and have saved the plane. I agree. I was reacting to the 'the crew had no chance' comment above....

The Bearskin YRL incident is an outlier, that crew unfortunately had no change due to the nature of the partial engine failure they experience with enough residual torque and oil pressure to ensure NTS did not kick in.

Re: Westjet cancelling flights due to cold in Calgary

There are no airframe temperature limits on the 737NG or Max. Boeing does recommend preheating the Hydro-Mechanical Unit if the engine has cold soaked -40 or below.

The were issues with de-icing temperature limits and at times it was too cold for hold over times in freezing fog.
