Plane with malfunctioning landing gear to make emergency landing at DIA
... The plane is a midsized twin jet-engine corporate Hawker 800. It took off from Centennial Airport and has been circling the area trying to burn off fuel before making an emergency landing.... (kdvr.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Washington, dc was in Maryland when it was created.
What in the sam hill does that have to do with a malfunctioning landing gear landing?
Well... We have a malfunctioning gear in Denver and we have a malfunctioning government in Washington DC... :)
Not sure why everyone is bashing the media here. They were not allowed on the property, no spokesperson gave them any information. For the most part, they got most of their infor from Centennial Airport where the plane is based. The plane should have landed there instead of DIA
Well, if you're not sure, you could try reading all the comments, they're pretty self-explanatory, but evidently you already did that, since you know "everyone is bashing the media" so... Troll much?
I am not trolling, and I do not think Steve Kady was trolling, either. I agree with his sense that (especially at the top of this stack of comments) there is a lot of media bashing. Yes, the media do get a few details wrong, but in no small part because of the FAA and others in aviation. The agency practices too much informational opacity and prefers the media to just pass on their carefully crafted press releases. The manufacturers and pilots are chronically defensive about ANY coverage that shows ANY safety issue in aviation.
But, really, to bash the media over 'DIA' vs. 'DEN'? Most of us must be WAY too bored to be debating this. The vast majority of comments posted on this specific article are WAY below the quality we like to expect in FlightAware discussions.

At Republic Airways several years ago we had an ERJ 170 depart from DFW to IAD. Upon gear retraction, the gear handle would not come up. Ah ha! The aircraft thought it was still on the ground. The crew elected to use the over ride (the checklist said this was OK) and brought the gear up. Arriving at Dulles, the nose gear would not come down. About an hour of fuel burn, they landed nose gear up. The nose wheel steering had malfunctioned and the wheel came up into the well at an angle and got stuck there. Lesson learned--if the gear is down and won't come up--leave it down and land. The checklist was changed after that.
