mcnab Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I don't think it was a pilot error. I mean, he can't be such a noob, right? I guess it was some sort of mechanical failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laud Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think wheel lever was turned to "up"-position before takeoff. Wheels would come up when leaving the ground. If you have some "waves" on the RWY that swing up your plane for a sec. wheels would start going up but planes coming down again.

000BIGMAC000 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 In all likelyhood, the handle was in the up position for a an immediate retractraction upon liftoff...the squat switch was disengaged for a second and the hydraulic pump started to lift the gear...too bad...
