WHEN THINGS GO WRONG! Landing Gear Failure Debrief and Flight VLOG

[@roadgeneral]

You are a true professional. So in tune with the aircraft, a beautiful thing to watch. It doesn't surprise me that you were able to run the emergency checklist and resolve the problem so quickly.

[@emylrmm]

yes, highly competent pilot and CFI

[@Luzermeisels]

@@emylrmm wait a second are you saying that our aviation influencer is a CFI as well? How come I didn’t know that until now

[@pineoandloeb]

Thanks so much for your support on our Bob Dylan remix :)

[@steveo1kinevo]

Awesome work! 👍🏼

[@joksal9108]

You shouldn’t fuck with other people’s music.

[@Sebastopolmark]

I listened to the gear issue on VAS Aviation. I don't think your heart rate increased. Glad all worked out! !! !!!

[@johnathanasiou9284]

Many of us heard about the landing gear on VAS aviation Steveo & so awesome that your calm & decisive skills, unmistakable voice, impressive demeanor, flight training & the pursuit of excellence got you down successfully. You are an awesome example to pilots everywhere, may you have continued successes & keep on being awesome!. As for the landing gear switch, what can we do as even a moth got stuck in a relay from an old computer system managed by Admiral Grace Hopper which came to be known & is still known to this very day as a "bug"

[@erwinchan6077]

I was shocked to see Steveo on VAS aviation but relieved when it all worked out. Thanks for this video! I hope VAS links to this because it's a great explanation and something that we (non-pilots) rarely see.

[@vicf6509]

Heard the event on the VAS Aviation channel. Glad it all worked out ok. Way to stay in control of the aircraft. A true pro!

[@JFG3D]

Thanks!

[@av8tore71]

@03:36 When I went through A&P school at Rock Valley College in Rockford, IL my sheet metal instructor is a retired Good Year Blimp pilot. I just saw it before you got into your plane

[@JenniferinIllinois]

Very interesting hearing about the landing gear malfunction and how you handled it. Calm and collected and got the TBM down safely. Happy to see the problem was resolved and this landing was uneventful.

[@david2881]

Where is the video of it malfunctioning? Didnt see it, he not record it..

[@ljfinger]

@@david2881 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eanTZpJ6qNtgkKM He didn't record it as far as I know.

[@gregorymaupin6388]

As an Aviation Electrician Mate in the Navy I have changed those switches out in naval aircraft since we are a little harder on our landings. I’m glad you’re ok. God bless you and those who fly with you brother I enjoy your channel.

[@pugsly7]

Wow! Great job on keeping your cool and resolving this issue! Glad to hear everything went well for you on the emergency landing...

[@quinnferris7220]

Sharing stories like this along with the mechanical side is always so helpful for pilots to hear. Smoooth operator as always. Thanks Steveo!

[@whiskeythrottl]

Love how big the windsock is at Pompano Beach! All kidding aside, its crazy how such a small sensor can cause more than one failure. Glad you figured it out safely.

[@melcharles613]

Smashed that like button. Awesome debrief on the emergency procedures.

[@stdan3746]

Actually heard your radio transmission on VASAviation's youtube channel several weeks ago. Recognized your voice right away and was like, Uh Oh!!!!! Glad everything went like it did.

[@timothyparker7739]

Thanks

[@thezirons]

Nice work Steveo! Thanks for sharing another great video!!

[@tigertrader7376]

Great to hear everything is Ok. There needs to be a manual bypass to the switch or switches as an additional emergency option. This single point failure needs to be addressed in aircraft software and added to the pre flight check list.

[@garrymorrison1769]

I am glad all went well with the landing gear issue and that you were able to land safely and got it repaired. It was very instructive to know how you handle the landing gear emergency and why you consider it unsafe to fly without the AP engaged when flying low.

[@Mike16339]

12:09 FLL is a C airspace, you don't need a clearance to enter. 2-way radios coms is good enough.

[@icalexander]

Always neat to see the different procedures for stuff like a gear failure etc. Glad to hear you were able to get it fixed. Safe skies my fellow aviator

[@abinder3]

I’m glad you were able to manually extend the landing gear and you’re okay.

[@Roskellan]

A good thing these redundant systems are there. But a design flaw here I think. A system designed to detect the aircraft on the ground should only prevent selection of the undercarriage up (the concept of fail safe). There is no good reason for that switch to stop selection of undercarriage down in either normal or failed conditions. Presumably any time the gear is indicated as down and locked, such a command to put the gear down would be ignored anyway. I mean the gear down lever is not returned to a neutral position after the three greens are realised.

[@terrancestodolka4829]

Great information and how and what to do is fly first communicate and then perform a checklist to see if you can solve the problem... Thank goodness for emergency procedures YOU do that is what to do >> IF

[@allanfarrow5391]

I guess if you fly long enough, something like this happens. Well done Steve and I'm glad you're safe and everything worked out!

[@parish2091]

I agree. Law of averages as they say. I worked 40 years for one the big commercial airlines and flew all over the world on business and vacation and was involved in 3 emergency landings - including one on a Tristar where the nose gear failed to deploy. One of the tech crew came back into the front cabin to open a hatch in the floor so he could get down and hand pump it down. Took a lot longer than the TBM but we landed safely, also after a low pass over the tower to check it was down. These situations make you appreciate the skill and professionalim of the guys up front.

[@milk-it]

Awesome work, steveo. You did exactly what you should've and what you were trained for. Couldn't have done it better!

[@davidwhite2011]

I heard that on the scanner here in Clearwater. You acted very well under pressure. I think you gave a master's class to all the students at that airport. You can always tell the nube's because all the flight school planes have blue tails. You can hear the audio on the VAS aviation channel.

[@jamesbrown3358]

Excellent as always. Nice to emphasize that it’s not always routine. Recurrent training is a must on all planes.

[@pauldainton8052]

Thanks Steveo. Watching from New Zealand. Gotta love the views from that low level flight. Amazing.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Thanks for watching all the way from New Zealand! 🙌🏼

[@hamrepair3815]

I'm not used to hearing tower change runways once in the pattern, was a great lesson reminding me to watch for confirmation bias.

[@kevinm3751]

That sucks! Glad you got down safe and they was able to address the problem and get it fixed!

[@MatthewMiller716]

Gotta love that it has a manual hand pump. In the KC-135R tanker we can manual extend/retract flaps and gear

[@bobstroud9118]

Long time fan of the Goodyear “Blimps “. When I was flying my Quicksilver MX out of a grass strip north of Ravenna OH, we saw them coming and going from their hanger at Wingfoot Lake. I actually was able to attend the christening of the blimp America in 2002. N.E.OHBob

[@waynejohn8]

Nice video, Steveo. Where is your mototised scate board?

[@steveo1kinevo]

Left it at home on this trip. 🤙🏼

[@toupac3195]

Piper Navajo pilot here. Had belly landing 2 years back. Saved the 2 engines by luckily shutting off before touchdown. I have alternating props so its was impossible to save them as if I were in a Beech 58. 😁

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Great job! That’s why you keep yourself proficient! Training is crucial. You never know. Always be ready! ✈️✨

[@christosioannou7359]

Steveo you had so many shout outs on the radio. You are a superstar of aviation.

[@JustinBerke]

I was just camping in that area of Tennessee. I hope you film that trip. I'd love to see what a flight looks like around there.

[@tonypurkiss6022]

Thank you for the debrief on the gear failure. Great to learn what went wrong and why it went wrong and how you were able to fix it so quickly. The scenery in this video was also great. Cheers from Newcastle Australia.

[@CapFreddy]

Another excellent video. I always learn something. About the switch fail, there should be some kind of bypass to the switch information. Something with a guard or whatever that would disregard the switch and move anyway.

[@williamdinguis8363]

As with anything, you respond as you train; it was obvious that you were more than slightly concerned about the gear issue, from your voice. But you handled it like a professional. I'm just justing a flight career at the ripe old age of 65; I enjoy your videos. Glad you were safe.

[@stephenwheeler8628]

Another great video, Steveo! I particularly appreciated, in light of your recent events, the use of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" not once, but twice. Well played!

[@roadgeneral]

Wow! That would have had my heart pumping. I'm glad it turned out OK.

[@melindatrinidad5473]

One tiny switch in the landing gear messed all that up, even cabin pressure.incredible.you get better everyday steveo.

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day!God bless you!❤️

[@kevincollins8014]

Always a pleasure riding along with you Steve O. I'm glad you got the aircraft straightened out and back in service. Yes the low level coast flights are incredible. Thanks for bringing us along with you.

It's always a simple part gumming up the works in aviation. Great job as always SteveO and showing us why checklist knowledge and readiness should always be in the back of our minds!

[@1911darkstar]

Love the Dylan intro/outro. Nice explanation about what went wrong on previous flight. Really interesting. That switch caused all that. I’m sure that small part had a nice price tag!

[@anthonygallegos3118]

beautiful views of south FL and learning about the gear malfunction, checklist procedure. Appreciate seeing how you handled it.

[@oneninerniner3427]

cool to see the blimp bobbing around on it's mooring.

[@mikespencer9913]

Steveo, I didn’t get involved in flying until WAY too late in life. In hindsight, it would have been an amazing career! To anyone that’s even considering it, there is a HUGE pilot shortage. Go for your dreams!! It’s a mentally challenging career, and very satisfying once you get your head around it. The Air Force figured out a LONG time ago that checklists are ‘the only way to fly’! Awesome job, Steveo!

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day!God bless you!!❤️

[@yurapit88]

Ive just started watching and listening with Bose noise canceling ear buds and I’ve never heard that little rumble from the engine at the end of start up

[@fiesty161]

Sign of a great pilot who stays calm in stressful situations.

[@slipperyRat-e4q]

Again thanks for the great video. Not a pilot myself, but worked in Aerospace with various companies. Funny enough landing gear was the main product at Messier Dowty. Have a great day.

[@Heathfx5]

Kinda funny i just saw a video about runway cleaning. Seems like the main indicator that a runway needs to be cleaned is when the groves fill up with rubber (that is if the runway is grooved of course). Otherwise the rubber allows the water to stand much longer and form puddles that cause hydroplaning.

[@darrellgordon7456]

Safe to assume the pressurization is also linked to the air/ground mode. So that 1 failure of the squat switch caused both problems, well done Steve !

[@philipgledhill7227]

I Steveo hope you are well buddy you looked a bit warm in there.i bet you were glad you were able to fix the landing gear so you could do a perfect landing.if there was no check list do you think you could of got out of that problem. Did you no what to do with out the check list. Take care buddy and better flying for you in the near future phil.

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day!God bless you!❤️

[@davidjessee7701]

Flying a 4 place BeechCraft Sierra we had a landing gear failure... flipped the switch and got only 2 indicator lights and done a low fly by and sure enough the front wheel was at a 45 degree angle down... we were low on fuel and my 2 young daughters in the back seat..... We were getting ready to manual pump down the gear when we tried the switch one more time we got the third light to come on... when we did land , on inspection of the plane the belly of the fuselage was covered in hydrolic fluid... We were lucky....

[@unklewink]

Good flight. Always enjoy flying with you. Glad you got the situation straightened out with the pogi. That had to be unnerving!

[@ski35off34]

As experienced as you are - still a little nerve stress ?? Good pre-flight explanation - glad all safe.

[@madisonromero3529]

Stevo once again proving he is a PRO!!

[@BryanDelMonte]

Runways are inspected about every 8 hours... they get cleaned usually a few times a year (2-3 times) with a pressure washer type system (usually done at night)... and runways get resurfaced about every 7-10 years, depending on the usage. I know this only because we looked at marketing a company that made the runway cleaning machines.

[@DOUBLEPOWERDVD]

I enjoyed the tough sim landings you did. Have you ever thought about trying the Pero airport in Bhutan in a simulator? It's supposed to be the world's most challenging landing. Love to see it!

[@petertarantelli]

I guessed 741° on the ITT…so close! Your message reminds me of golf, it was in the rough! WOW, the approach over those towers was over the top!

[@bacca71]

A very interesting video. Enjoyed your going through the procedure for the failed deployment of the landing gear. "When all the training pays off in Aces." 4 minutes to resolve the issue via manual deployment is remarkable (including the 45 pumps on the handle to deploy the gear).

[@user-mt4zr5kp7h]

I love how all those Freighters are being held at sea so the powers that be can maintain the illusion that there are shortages abound

[@tommino8970]

3:20 I'm wondering that there is only 1 switch, bc on bigger airplanes are 3 proximity sensors (touch-less) where majority says the position (at least 2 from 3) and EICAS reports not matchging sensors. Based on all LG states is calculated WoW signal (Weight on Wheels aka on ground).

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day!God bless you!❤️

[@clarencewiles963]

Going back to some old videos. I’m seeing much better and sound. I’m going to say it’s comes with a cost. Thanks again for your work and taking us along.

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Glad you safely resolved your landing gear issue, it’s a testament to your professionalism and calmness that prevailed 👍🙂

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day!God bless you

[@Subgunman]

A true Pro! I hate to see the cost of that switch as well as diagnostic fee and repair fee. Kinda reminds me of the issues with the gear switches on the Cessna 337 series RG aircraft. Always causing issues.

[@cn9936]

Glad you got it fixed. I just went to the smokies for the first time. I look forward to your video there. Try to fly over Pigeon Forge if you can. Thanks SteveO

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Steveo I been told any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing. And any landing that you can not only walk away from, but reuse the aircraft is an excellent landing. My uncle had landing gear trouble in a P51 in WWII in England. Bellied her in, or on 1 gear. Don't remember exactly which.

[@RebaMcEntire65]

Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day!God bless you!!❤️

[@tompinnef6331]

Funny how a 'small' switch can cause a major problem. Glad it worked out ok, then that is the reason for a hand backup. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care - be safe and enjoy the Wisconsin weather up there.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing. Wow! I am glad the landing gear item was fixed on repair at that airport! And I am glad you were able to manually operate to push the landing gear down. I have to say that was a beautiful coast view there flying at about 500 feet. It was beautiful looking at the beach line and condo buildings!!! while you were passing along the Ft. Lauderdale beach line and you made me remember walking on the beach from the Sheraton Yankee Clipper Hotel area!! Yes, you are right that was a beautiful day you were flying in Florida!!! Again, thank you for sharing the passion of flying!!!!!

[@allamerican7830]

Nice job thanks for explaining what you went through and how it worked. Glad you were able to get the gear down and land safely

[@saldun2603]

Great experience, experienced conflict with perfect reaction, result and great outcome on the gear down protocols. 4.2 minutes resolved situated conversed and safe landing.
