[@TheTransporter007]

The UAL777 was a HYDRAULIC LEAK not a gear fire.

[@ma9x795]

Indeed. I understand that it was a leak in the central hydraulic system, with the other two systems able to take over due to the designed redundancy.

[@MeppyMan]

First thing I thought when I saw the footage yesterday was that looked like a leak. The smoke after landing was just the fluid burning off the hot wheels.

[@justing42]

the CENTER hydraulic system...not to be confused with the Left and RIGHT hydraulics@@ma9x795

[@clqudy4750]

Understanding the redundancy, why did the gear doors stay down upon landing?

[@striker11500]

​@@clqudy4750 gear hydraulic line was leaking, so this system is not connected to other hydraulic lines. A gravity emergency deploy of gear was used, after which the door remains open.

[@soccerguy2433]

The "smoke" trailing the 777's gear isn't from fire and it isn't smoke. It's hydraulic leak and the fluid is being aerosolized. ITs just like the water from your garden hose spreading out. Squirt water out of your car window at speed and it looks just like that.

Looks an awful lot more like smoke when it was stationary on the ground after it landed

[@rannyacernese6627]

I'm always amazed a thing the size of a building can fly half way around the world and then park within centimetres of a spot.

[@TexJester-no8th]

I drive a truck (18-wheeler) cross-country. I'm regularly awed at how we can leave one city, drive thousands of miles, and then get off the freeways onto smaller roads and city streets until we find the receiver. Seeing these humongous monsters parking like this amazes me even more.... On a funny/sad side note - some 15-20 years ago, I was going through Columbus, Ohio, and heard a guy trying to get directions to a warehouse - he had a half hour until his unload appointment. We worked with the guy until we figured out he was supposed to be in Columbus, GEORGIA! He had some phone calls to make ....

[@Supernaut2000]

Sorry, he was 2 cm off centre line!

[@kitbaker8521]

Pilots are not the size of a building. They’re the ones that fly halfway around the world. The airplane only does what they say.

[@221b-l3t]

​@@kitbaker8521 Taxi up to the gate is definetly a high risk and high skill job. Jet engines respond slowly and the aircraft responds even more slowly from standstill to rolling to racing down the taxiway at 80 knots. You're essentially predicting where the aircraft will be and performing any action in advance. If you miscalculate, you plow into the terminal

[@ge2623]

That Cargolux marshalling was a nice, overdue nod to the ground crews.

[@dougerrohmer]

@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n It's like marshalling by committee. If one guy does something different to the other (and I don't think they are actually in communication with each other) then the pilots can get confused and that's step on in an incident.

@@Grajjje I don't know, but it really seems dumb. They can train with a video or something. You can't have two guys doing that sort of thing. It's like these videos you see when things go wrong on a construction site when a whole bunch of guys are trying to direct a crane operator.

Nothing caught fire on that 777 main gear, just the centre hydraulic system leaking. A fairly basic non-normal to deal with. Continue the departure, problem solve enroute and return (if you must) for a flap 20 landing with alternate extension of the gear. Not dramatic at all.

[@pmwathi]

Thanks for answering my questions before I got to ask them. 1) Why continue retracting the landing gear if it's on fire? 😂 2) What took them 2 hours to turn around? Hehe.

[@EdOeuna]

@@pmwathi - gear wasn’t on fire. It was a hydraulic fluid leak. It took them two hours to return because they had to speak with their company and form a plan. Continuing is a possibility, diverting or returning are two other considerations. They would also want to jettison fuel, and that may take upwards of an hour by itself.

Subsonic perhaps but all liners, Concorde just takes the crown for sexy flying machine. I miss the 747. Used to live in Asia and flew back home to Europe twice a year, almost always 747 over the Gobi desert, Himalayas, then Siberia. And pre 9/11 so I got to see the cockpit in flight once and a bunch on the ground. That was super cool. Looked like the Space Shuttle. And the door open too most of the time, if you had seats up front you could see the pilots flying, I miss that. Armoured glass door and a curtain could work :)

When was this 777 flight with the hydraulic leak?

[@yamakazi1275]

hyd leak on the gear, no fire! Thats why he lands with the landing gear doors open. because there is no pressure in the system to close them after gravity extension of the gear! since the B777 has his altn brakes and in flight brakes on the ALT sys (C hyd).

[@justing42]

C is CENTER system hydraulics pal.

[@BoeingJetJockey]

It might look like smoke but it’s definitely hydraulics leak. 3000PSI with airflow can look like smoke. The landing with gear doors opened confirmed that they use alternate gear extensions due to center hydraulic system leakage.

Could be the actual marshaller hasn't had much experience with 747s and the other guy did have, so he was assisting him, not trying to draw the attention from the pilot, which is very hard anyway since he isn't in the correct spot and doesn't have the signalling batons.
