Huh? If so, AA's MD80s must be radically different from Delta's. Our DC9s and MD88s had a handle in the floor by the F/O's left foot. Pulling that lever would mechanically release the main gear door latches and nose gear over-center lock, and place the gear hydraulic system in bypass, allowing the gear to free fall and lock into the down position.
According to the manual, nose oscillations might be required to get the nose gear to lock. |

I'm just wondering... do the pax on that flight (all 140 of them) think we are overpaid?
73 We have to shut an to shut down an engine (727) from ABQ to STL, the captain decided to divert to MCI since it was our maintenance base. When I was standing at the door saying good bye and answering questions I actually had people ****ed off at us for not making it to STL. We are not over paid at all IMHO and the professionalism displayed a few days ago was at its finest! |
