Frontier Emergency Landing, Fire
Not entirely clear whether the fire occured before or after a "hard landing".

From the tapes, they sound like they were on masks and had definitely declared a while before landing. Lesson for us all might be to figure out how to communicate with the masks on, as it sounded like they had some issues. However, huge kudos to them for prioritizing flying over dealing with the radios and getting the plane on the ground safely and quickly...

Video shows lots of fire from around the mains, sounds like that happened after landing?
Shouldn't have been that heavy at 10.5 fuel but maybe that had depowered some braking systems, like anti-skid and TR's
But nice job getting it down, didn't sound fun. Controller was a real pro too.

Emergency Electrical configuration to isolate the smoke/fire/fumes on the bus, no A/S on landing. Lose a lot of other things as well, but you have to give "max brake PSI 1000 on landing" Good luck with that with the mask on.

IIRC there is a regulator valve which *should* automatically limit pressure to 1000psi. The limitation is just so the pilots know to verify it works. Maybe it didn't work.

Pilot has to limit pressure to 1000 psi while the other guy calls out where the gauge is "800 psi give it more" or "right there's your 1000"
