Jet Blue plane making emergency landing LIVE

[kcbhiw]

kbichw- youre partially right. The A320 is fly by wire, BUT only on flight surfaces (rudder, lifters, flaps, steering, etc...). Landing gear is a mechanical surface, and is still controlled by good ole' hydraulics. The problem that the nose gear encountered is unusual, but in the two previous cases, the cause was lack of maintenance on the hydrolic seals. While technically Airbus doesnt design their planes to fall into a 90 degree wheel position on malfunction, it will happen 100% of the time in failures. The reasoning is because the steering surface is a 180 degree range, thus the most it can rotate is 90 both ways...

I stand corrected.

As for the way it would have turned out if the gear was stuck at an odd angle, say 45 degreees, you are definitely right, BUT the excessive oversteer forces can be overcome by using imbalanced thrust of the engines. Basically, imagine going into an oversteer situation in a car, but being able to control both L and R sides independently with 800hp engines respectively. The forces needed to overcome oversteer and continue (semi) straight would be there, just be a bit more difficult to control. We practiced this in flight SIM's regularly in training.

I was thinking the same thing and was pretty sure that this was possible. Though, my lack of knowledge in aviation principles and technique is nearly nil.

Thanks for the clarification!

It realy is some complicated s***. that's why I didn't make it. I'll stick to flying small stuff.(Btw I ended up noseing a 747 onto the runway killing everybody durring the sim. granted it was my first try and someone programed in a 200 mph cross wind at the last second.)

Taxiing at MSY a few weeks ago?

Those pilots were nothing speacial. That was a textbook landing. I expected the strut to hold up. This is not a first for that aircraft the same thing happend before and one of the corrections that were made was adding extra support to the back of the strut. It would have been a problem if they couldnt get the gear down but in this case they couldn't get it up. They have safty features that will not alow the gear to go up if somthing is wrong with it. that is why they became aware of the problem. I congraduate the pilots on a safe landing . they train for this and they handled it exactly how they were suposed to.

nothing special? plz bro not every pilot gets that lucky! i work near planes everyday so i see what the gear looks like and all that! yes he did handle it very well aswell as the other 2-3 pilots! takes team work..

Have you ever piloted a plane before? have you ever had training to fly a plane? I have. I wanted to fly airliners but I couldn't do it. those pilots are the best of the best when it comes to civilian pilots. They get payed VERY good money to land those planes when s*** goes wrong. Until you have been through the training you have no reson to contadict me. That was a very good landing but pilots do that every day. and they rely on the airplane to hold up. if that srut gave way it would have the airplanes falt not the pilots. all they did was land the plane nothing more nothing less.

i understood like 5 words in this paragraph! pilots get paid well over 6 figures a yr! Ups pilots fly 3 weeks then off 1 week! off on sat and sundays! 727 to a md11 or dc8, all doesnt matter a plane is a plane..

Huh? I understood like 5 words in your paragraph.

What exactly are you trying to say here? Pilots have it rough? Pilots make alot of money?

What I took out of slayer4u's comments was that pilots do make good money and they deserve it because when events like this happen they do work hard, but they also train for events like that to happen.

A pilot always has to be ready for the "worst case scenario", it's what they do.

no s*** i talk to them everyday and give them lots of credit.. they get paid well for being away from home so much and the regular life kinda blows but its a job! there is no easy scenario for any pilot since anything can go wrong at any given time!

This guy pays attention. That is exacly what I'm saying.
