      They leave the gear down for 2 reasons.
      1 - They've lost hydraulics, so it's safer to leave them down and locked in position
      2 - They're dumping fuel, the gear down helps create extra drag, meaning a higher engine power setting, which helps to burn fuel off.

    El A330 no estaba "perdiendo todo su combustible" estaba liberándolo para bajar su peso total para aterrizar lo más pronto después de una falla que No le permitiría hacer el vuelo planeado. El combustible (keroseno de aviación) se "dampea" por "chutes" al propósito pues el único que se puede "tirar" desde una aeronave, ya que las valijas están lejos en las bodegas, y los pasajeros no quieren que se tire el catering... y ellos mismos "se resisten a saltar" (todo en sentido figurado) jejeje.
    El A380 por algún motivo no retrajo su tren de aterrizaje cuando debía, quizá tuvo alguna señal de alarma que luego resolvieron prontamente.
    La "carrera" (si bien no soy fanático de ellas) demuestra lo versátiles que pueden ser las aeronave si está diseñada o adaptada al propósito pretendido.
    El F27 retrajo el tren cuando debían hacerlo, con lectura de ASCENSO POSITIVO, y no fue anticipadamente sino prontamente o sin demora, tal como se practica y se debe hacer. ¿Cuándo querían que lo retrajera? ¿en ascenso? ¿en crucero? ¿al aterrizar?

      A lot of these types of planes, like the one that landed on the helo pad of that hotel in Dubai, use Rotax engines, which are 4 cylinder, liquid cooled, fuel injected modern engines designed for light aircraft. Others may use more traditional aircraft piston engines, like Lycoming and Continental engines.

    An otherwise routine outdoor recess period was upended at seven Los Angeles schools this week when a Boeing 777 carrying more than 150 passengers dumped jet fuel on playgrounds and school yards, dousing at least 50 people, including 20 children.
    Delta Flight 89, which was headed to Shanghai, experienced an engine problem that required it to return to Los Angeles International Airport less than 20 minutes after takeoff Tuesday, officials said. During the emergency landing, the airplane dropped fuel at around 2,000 feet, hitting several schools in its path.
    As officials investigate the incident, aviation experts said Wednesday that they are puzzled by the "unusual decision" to dump fuel and that the maneuver, rare in populated areas, could have been avoided.

      Pump activated by pilot dumps it out. On the 777 fuel is dumped from ports near the wingtips.

      No, of course not! Otherwise an aircraft would loose fuel. They have nozzles for a controlled dump as you can see here.

      LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Delta Airlines jet making an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport dumped fuel on the playground of an elementary school in the flight path on Tuesday, inflicting minor injuries on 17 children and nine adults, local and federal authorities said.Jan 14, 202

    I thought there were minimum altitudes for fuel dumping, so that it evaporates before hitting the ground..something like 7,000 feet or above?

      Cuts drag & increases acceleration to flight speed. Once you're off the ground ... you don't need wheels anymore.

    So many comments from people who make assumptions.
    The jet fuel completely vaporizes before reaching the ground, and is no more pollutive than if it had been burned in the engines anyway.
    The one significant case of fuel falling on people in Los Angeles and making them sick was possibly from jettisoning fuel too low, but knowing the airspace around LAX I would say it was more likely that a lot of people heard about it and immediately put in false claims to get compensation.

    That KLM landing debacle no doubt resulted in a nose gear and hull inspection. Airliners are NEVER supposed to touch down on NLG before ANY other MLG.
    They are not designed for this and can crease the hull, resulting in scrappage.

      @@ghostrider-be9ek it wasn’t that hard of a landing. Plus he did hit the main gears first. Just that the left one bounced back up and touched down the 2nd time after the nose. But the mains had arrested most of the energy already. Don’t get me wrong, it was a horrible landing. But not near the limits of the equipment.
