      @@EdOeuna Switches, yes, but they don't always tell the whole story. These pilots got lucky with just a failure to retract. Imagine if the gear completely fell off, but the switches to retract said they were fully retracted. Chances are, they wouldn't've known anything was wrong until they reached their destination and tried to land with metal stubs where their gear should be. Better yet, there's an actual incident where a 747 leaving Anchorage lost an entire engine due to extreme gusts. Y'know what the switches told 'em? Certainly not that the engine was clean gone.

      @@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 - the landing gear will never fall off completely the point where there is nothing. Maybe the odd wheel detaching, but that’s a different story. I think that Boeing / Airbus / Embraer trust switches enough to have only switches as their main indicating system for doors and gear. This is why there aren’t back up systems to determine gear position.

    I often wonder what the passengers know on these flights. I was on a short flight myself that had gear issues and the flight crew actually kept us fairly informed (in fact, if not for the announcements, I would probably have never known anything happened at all) but I understand that isn't common. On my flight, this was several years ago so I don't recall all the details, but we had just taken off from SLC on way to Boise and they actually said there was trouble with the gear, we will be delayed a little and might have to turn back but they're running the checklist. A little bit later, they came back and said the issue was resolved and we're now proceeding to Boise as planned. Only arrived like ten minutes late. I thought it was a fun little flight - the view out the window was nice and I got to see some of it twice!

      @hauntedshadowslegacy2826 2 года назад

      Petter from Mentour Pilot says he usually doesn't say too terribly much to passengers, but enough to ease concerns. Then again, I suppose it depends on the emergency at the time. Explaining that the gear/flaps won't retract is not as bad as gear completely falling off or low/empty hydraulics.

    That's a scary feeling for sure.... flight deck indicates no gear...
    I'm guessing the Embraer 175 doesn't have a manual gravity gear drop option? Or they just needed visual confirmation? The emergency free-fall extension system should exist in case of failure of both normal and alternate gear actuation systems. It is a rudimentary mechanical system operated by cables which act directly on the uplock hooks. Once the command device is actuated the landing gear should be unlocked, fall freely and be locked down by gravity.

    • @Scottyboy88
      @Scottyboy88 2 года назад +1

      The 175 has a electrical override switch if the landing gear lever control box fails. If override switch fails there is an alternate gear extension lever, when pulled releases any residual hydraulic pressure in the lines and releases the uplocks to free fall the gear.

    • @hauntedshadowslegacy2826
      @hauntedshadowslegacy2826 2 года назад

      Gear not coming up is a problem because of fuel efficiency, drag, and maximum speed. You can only go so fast with your gear extended, or you risk damaging them. Fuel efficiency and drag play into each other- if you can't go the normal altitude and speed, your efficiency drops far below the normal fuel consumption and throws off the calculations. When planes are fueled, they tend to fill with normal altitude/speed in mind, meaning there likely wouldn't be enough 'contingency' fuel to make it with gear down and locked. The other commenters' points also play into it, but these are among the biggest issues.

  • @EdOeuna
    @EdOeuna 2 года назад

    The low flyby seemed rather pointless. The gear looking like it’s down is hardly a qualified opinion that would satisfy air crash investigators. It’s either up or it’s down with three greens.

      If your gear won’t come up you are limited on speed since the gear aren’t made to take the aerodynamic forces at higher speeds, and the cause has to be considered as well. If this was an issue with a separate system, say hydraulics, electronics, etc, you run the risk of that snowballing.
