Bombardier will do next

Change the landing gear extinsion speed to prevent this from happening too. Highest regards to the crew.

I saw it unfold from the top of the jetway at D14. They did a nice job.

Good call! Flaps arent enough and instead of fixing the actuator they just restrict your extension speed. "uhhh maybe this will work!"


Side note: That AWAC plane was the 3rd emergency aircraft in a row that landed in PHL last night. We were there waiting for departure and American came in "fuel emergency". 3 miles behind them US mainline came in "fuel emergency".

Air Wis was the third. Never have I heard of three commercial aircraft emergency landings in a row. Not to mention the question of how the fuel emergencies got to that point, because PHL was running fairly smoothly prior to the emer declares.

In the report:
Make/Model: CL60
Description: CL-600/601/604 Challenger

There is no differentiation between CL-60/ CL-65? Different type rating.
