Wow: Boeing 737-700 Nose Gear Collapse At Airport Gate

This must be a maintenance problem, with over 20.000 flight cycles, a manufacturing defect would surely have been noticed sooner.

If what the whistle-blowers have been saying is true, this type of event is exactly the type of thing you would expect to see more regularly.

I'm rather critical of Boeing quality on several of its aircraft but this doesn't seem to he a Boeing problem. This model has a great safety record and this particular aircraft, as stated, completed over 20k successful flights. It's an outlier incident perhaps more of a maintenance issue.

[@RichardMcLaren]

It's like all mechanical things, wear and tear sometimes causes failures of parts.

[@eddy66t6]

The point is that this aircraft should not be having issues at this point in its lifecycle.

@RichardMcLaren True but maintenance should prevent mishaps. Landing gear collapse of an aircraft parked at the gate is extremely rare.

[@kendalldad]

@eddy66t6 I'd agree if this were more common but landing gear collapse at a gate is excessively rare. How many other NG 737's have experienced this?

It doesn't really matter. It is yet another incident with a 737 while public confidence in the type is already low, so low that there are people actively avoiding flying on the type.

[@josephcaltabiano8522]

I have worked the 737NG for many years on the line and heavy maintenance and have never witnessed the failure of the nose gear like this one …..the 737 on gear retraction rotates forward to stow in the wheel well after hydraulic pressure is applied and gear lever is moved to up position in the flight deck …..This however looks like the gear just collapsed on itself and maybe from a 0:56 fatigue failure of the OLEO outer cylinder or inner cylinder which can suffer from corrosion and fractures over years of operation and should be removed /overhauled usually every 10 years ….Would be good to see when the landing gears were last overhauled and what was found during inspections and crack testing of all components within the gear assembly

[@unr3alGaming]

Likely a maintenance issue as many have pointed out. The plane has a good safety record, the airline’s safety record isn’t too bad but isn’t perfect. They had a crash landing in 2018 that was investigated by the BEA and wound up being caused by pilot error (lack of training and proper supervision of the first officer), no fatalities reported, but substantial damage to the aircraft was documented. It looks like it was repaired and returned to service instead of written off. Another time a flight attendant working there fell from a plane while on the ground and injured herself due to somehow not noticing that there were no air stairs connected. And that’s about it from what I can see up until this incident. They started off as a small charter airline with two planes and now have a small to medium fleet of almost all Boeing and a few Embraer aircraft, with several 737 MAX planes on order to replace their 737NG’s. I had never heard of them up until this point.

[@snowzZzZz]

We talk about corner cutting and the scrutiny of Boeing so much that we forget to also talk about the same or worse corner cutting that some airlines take with proper maintenance of aircraft. The amount of incidents that have occurred due to improperly replacement of parts or not keeping up on maintenance or doing maintenance improperly, it’s part of the equation, and inherently, when you daily operate something as mechanically complex as an airplane, it’s amazing it’s as safe as it is

[@MehdiS-music]

Impossible to say what caused this based on a video, but to me slowing down the video it looked like the landing gear sank into the tarmac rather that broke and that would be an issue of that specific airport.

At just before 1:00 where we see the nose gear collaps you can see that the wheel does not move. One would think if someone inadvertently selected gear up in the cockpit you would see the nose wheel move forward as it is normally retracted forward and stowed in the wheel bay in front of the nose gear. Looks morre that either the strut collapsed or the floor beam holding the strut collapsed. Weird situation. Wonder if this plane could be repaired or if it is a write off.

[@LEVELGAZANOW]

To be honest, it’s BS. There has to be extensive knowledge and pre-planning to disable the boxes. Secondly, to land in a ditching configuration without going crazy from the audible warning alerts also takes some circuit breaker manipulation on the FO’s side. Lastly, I had a complete A hydraulic failure over a year ago. The manual gear release worked as advertised and the gear gravity fell and locked in place. This incident stinks of something more devious.

This is airline maintenance. Boeing is too far under the FAA inspection glass to make any more mistakes and the NG has a very good safety record. And even then this plane is 16 years old. Nose collapses are often a combination of poor maintenance and a hard hit on landing. It sucks the 737 is getting such a horrible look when in reality the NG is a very very safe airplane and even the max has only had 2 fatal crashes and one fluke in manufacturing.

[@yatsumleung8618]

This happens every now and then. Not just Boeings but also Airbuses. Even with hydraulics on, you can't just lift the gear lever in the cockpit to retract the gear. The landing gears have sensors telling the aircraft it is sitting on the ground. So the control lever will be locked. To override this you need to mask the sensors. This is a common maintenance procedures for various things. But somehow someone forgot to put the locks on the landing gears and this is what happens. My guess is the pilots reported a fault with a navigation system, and the ramp engineer tried to test it, but missed putting in a lock.

If it had been a hydraulic problem, the nose gear would have collapsed at touchdown, IMHO. But then the pilots could have been warned prior to that.

[@IO-zz2xy]

@Kedvespatikus Perhaps there was sufficient pressure to sustain landing but then finally lost pressure after it had been standing for a while. I do now know how much residula pressure is kept in system while an aircraft is parked. Could it be some type of locking pin that failed?

@@IO-zz2xy There are three independent hydraulic systems in the B737s. But the hydro pumps need power. If you power down the aircraft, you have to lock the gears. So yeah, locking pin issue has a much higher possibility.

[@lardyify]

This has nothing to do with bad Boeing design. This landing gear was locked down, or it would have collapsed on its previous landing. The nose landing gear locks down through an over-centre mechanism which is impossible to unlock except through either hydraulic pressure (via the landing gear control handle) or by the emergency release mechanism which unlocks the over-centre mechanism using a cam and mechanical force. This accident was caused by someone in the cockpit ‘playing’.
