Glad the crew got it down safe and sound! And thankfully no passengers were on board to experience it.

In PVD last year, the gear came down, but the force from the impact caused it to break. Strictly coincidence.

Still no official word from the company about anything... no PIF, email, or anything whatsoever. I wonder if anyone up there in toon-town (HQ at ATW) even knows this happened yet. Yes it is sarcasm, but they are so removed from day to day ops that my lame attempt at sarcastic humor applies.

So i saw it in the hangar yesterday....the managed to get the left main down. Someone brought this up. All female crew right?

What do you think the odds were that they couldnt lift the emergency gear extension?? I mean it requires what 40-50 lbs draw weight??? I just cant imagine the emergency extension not working especially since Hydraulic 2 helps force the gear down.

Mind you i didnt bring this up...another captain did...im not trying to sound sexist or anything.
