OUCH!

A bit late on the round out, Hoskins!! :shock:

Windshear maybe??

I wonder if the poor 146 is flying again?

Holy moly. That was close to a very bad outcome. Reminds me of this one:

Wonder what kind of damage list this little action resulted in.

Yeah not good eh!

Actually i just noticed something watching it again....why were the airbrakes below the tail extended on approach!? Is that normal, because as he lands, for the first time, :wink: they retract and then deploy again, almost as if he hit the switch to open them (if not auto) which closed them, and then deployed them again when he realized his error?

......Or perhaps he's transferring to be a Navy pilot, and was practicing a Carrier landing :mrgreen:

Yeah, those things fly the approach with the air brake open. I don't know the system logic if there is any automatic retraction, for example if power is added while weight on wheels or having wheel spin something.

I think the pilot retracted the airbrakes prior to landing. How do you try and get out of windshear? Is it power and speed? If so, then retracting those airbrakes would be a good start. Perhaps if he'd used the (fifth) APU too? :twisted:
The brakes appeared to be retracted just after the Fisher-Price 747 dropped like a rock, as if the crew were reacting to the excessive rate of descent.

Yes the term is a bit derogatory, yet IMHO it's cute, applied to the aircraft itself and in no way applied to any of the 146/RJ rated pilots out there, nor to demean their ability! 8)

LOL! That made me laugh, thanks for the chuckle!

Good points man, yeah almost looked like they were about to go around perhaps, but hit the deck instead!! :oops: ....then decided to stop and check the gear. Bless em.

Seriously though, interesting that those things use airbrakes like that on approach, I'd never noticed that before.

Most likely was a post maintenance landing gear check. Which now the maintenance guys probably get to throw it up on jacks again and do a hard landing conditional inspection. :lol: That is the one thing that makes me glad I work on helicopters instead of airplanes. A hard landing inspection sucks enough having to inspect all the landing gear struts and everything else on a helicopter without having to deal with retractable landing gear.. Takes almost an entire day just to do the inspection. So I can only imaging how bad it must be on one of those things having to tear in to the landing gear just to make sure it is good to go.

Hi.
The airbrake is normally used on approach and landing , and kept out until after spoilers are deployed , and both airbrake and spoilers slow it down till brakes can be used , then airbrake and spoilers are retracted , i suspect he might have retracted the airbrake just prior to touchdown as he might have been near to stalling due to miss calculation of the wind shear , this aircraft has no reverse thrust or fuel dump system and can take off and land at its full weight , but this landing would certainly result in a heavy landing checks , the wing spar and wing panels are glued together on this aircraft.
regards alan. 8)

I always thought BAE stands for Bring Another Engine. I'm thinking this plane might need more than that after "landing" like that. Three landings for the price of one!! :P


Cheers.

Back when BAe built real aeroplanes, they made them strong - 146.... Tornado... :twisted:

The 146 was designed for shorter, rough airfields wasn't it? :wink:
