JetBlue emergency landing (merged)

[cjs]

You'd think one of these news outlets would hook a scanner up to the audio so we could listen to the tower comms.

 

[Fly_Chick]

Robert Hager on MSNBC just stated it would be preferable to retract the landing gear and land on the belly of the a/c. Except because of the nosegear problem they are unable to retract the gear.

[cforst513]

firetrucks are deploying. could this be it?!

 

[cforst513]

what is the maximum speed that the airbus can fly with the gear extended?

 

[cjs]

Anyone know what caused the gear to get stuck? Did they discover the problem when the gear wouldn't retract after takeoff?

 

[Av8rPHX]

Apparently the ship is N536JB.

No, they found out on the ILS into JFK....then they turned around and flew back to LAX with the gear down and cocked 90 degrees.

ya know?

Having been in several emergency landings, I can say that it sucks to be in the back as a Flight Attendant, circling around for what seems like forever, and having to look calm with the passengers.They have put the city of LA on alert - tons of firefighters and emergency personnel.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about aviation, but doesn't this underscore how dangerous it is to not have fuel dumping facilities available? In order to avoid an overweight landing, the aircraft in distress must orbit for god knows how long with whatever problems they're having as opposed to just dumping the fuel and making an immediate landing.

 

[kilroy]

JBU292 out of he hold heading NE. Perhaps there getting ready to land..

 

[skypine69]

according to the fair and balanced fox news, the plane is 12 miles from landing so that will take about 12 minutes "if my computations are correct" lov the news

I was thinking about that, too. This is an awfully long time to have to anticipate an emergency landing!

dear god.

according to reporters, 12 miles out = 12 minutes to landing. Damn they can get them Airbuses slow!
