FedEx Aircraft Performs Emergency Landing (Caught On Camera)

[@Alrx7_]

Gear malfunctioned, it was like that at landing. Never collapsed

[@christopherreed4723]

Sparks as soon as the mains touched down. Starboard main gear was down and locked, nose gear ditto, portside gear didn't do what it's supposed to. Down but not locked, maybe? I was in an Airbus that had a landing gear caution light up on approach to O'Hare many years ago. Nose gear on that plane rotates 90 degrees after it extends, then locks down. Pilots and tower couldn't figure out at what point it had failed, so we got to burn off fuel for a while, then made the softest, gentlest landing I've ever felt. Except for the engines shutting down out just before the nose gear touched (on purpose, but eerie). Turned out it had extended fully and locked, but the nose gear steering had failed. So we got a tow to the terminal.

[@singemfrc]

@@christopherreed4723 no didnt extend at all

[@ma_auto]

@@christopherreed4723 The sparks are from the gear door - if you rewatch right as the plane becomes unobstructed by the building, you can see the corner of the door start throwing sparks, followed by the engine nacelle

[@Knirin]

The left landing gear didn't collapse. It never extended in the first place. I can see how you would make that mistake, though, since the pilot used the lift on the wings to keep the plane level until the left-wing stalled due to the braking. Sucks to lose that engine, though.

They actually hung another engine on it and ferried it from Scott AFB, IL across Missouri to the MCI overhaul base. I was part of a dedicated crew working on it. It was a 3 shift round the clock. Amazingly little damage. It looked a lot worse than it was.

Horizon301 Im not sure, but I think that’s required based on the door height and not type of cargo carried. It would suck if that’s true, and the very least they could do is add a decent rope ladder at the door for cases like this. Evacuations are more common than people think.

Very nice job landing a heavy aircraft with landing gear issues. It's unfortunate that the co-pilot ended up falling down the escape ladder rather than climbing down it, hopefully they're not too badly hurt, other than their pride. It seems the crew judged this one very nicely, having circled for an hour to burn fuel and then taken the decision to land still with another hour of fuel on board, which is brave and not entirely according to training, but by doing so they have given the airport authorities a chance to clear that runway and inspect it before the daily passenger traffic becomes too dense, thus minimising the disruption caused by their mishap. That takes balls and a lot of situational awareness...

Guess there were snakes on the plane? Why would you unnecessarily jump otherwise?

[@quantifygg]

They train for this, if they were carrying fire-hazard cargo it would definitely be the right call when sparks were flying.

@beside myself as soon as they came to a stop I saw neither sparks nor smoke or flames. Everything seemed pretty calm until someone fell out of the cockpit.

@@Patty-qy8qh Do you think they have rear view mirror? how does the crew know wtf is going on on the back?

As an aircraft mechanic who is trained on engine run and taxi on large cargo planes, I think about this every time I go take a plane out to taxi, and I brief the other occupants on what to do in case of fire. Bottom line, if it catches fire, the escape rope is going to be my last resort. It's not as easy to climb down an escape rope as they make it sound. There's a good chance you're going to end up like this pilot, seriously injured from a fall and unable to walk away from a burning airplane. Still, I don't wonder about why he did it. After a successful emergency landing, his adrenaline was probably still pumping, he was eager to get the heck out as quick as possible, and he fell back on his egress training and went for it. Thankfully the other two occupants were a little less eager, perhaps from seeing the captain fall.

Pilot lands a disabled plane that was 1000’s of feet in the air five minutes earlier....falls ten feel out of the cockpit trying to exit plane. 2020 strikes again!
