  • On April 29th, 2017, at approximately 8:30AM, FedEx flight 140 from Memphis to Calgary suffered what appeared to be a complete loss of their green hydraulic system, which meant that they had no nose gear steering, had to manually drop the gear before arrival, and be towed to their apron. After arrival, the green hydraulics strangely appeared to be back. I was lucky enough to be out spotting already that morning, and the sight of three fire trucks showing up on one of the runway entrances was certainly a clue that something was going on. Thankfully, the aircraft landed safely, and was towed off the runway after about 20 minutes. As one of the pilots said, "this'll be interesting for maintenance"! ATC is included.
    Thanks for watching!

    Gear doors were flapping on touchdown. They definitely had an odd situation and a manual gear extension.

    The angle of the free-hanging gear doors looks to be affected by airflow deflection from the thrust reversers. They swing back upward temporarily as reverse spools up.

      how long would be the delay between handling the apron and getting into position say at the cargo terminal? Did the local Fed Ex operations manager need to be informed of a long delay?
