Jetblue Gear Problem In LAX

[ilinipilot]

I have a question? Do all the arm chair pilots think the strut is safe to rest the airplane one given that the tires have burst. Why do you not use the rear exits.

I am just curious, and looking for some guidance from people who fly the plane.

How do you get on TV as a expert?


"Gee Whiz!"

You would have to ask Al Haynes.

J.B. Gear Problem

Kudos to the crew. Outstanding job.

Nose cannot freely caster - trust me on this. The rubber will burst and the rims will grind down causing some sparks - nothing more. There is no chance the wheel will suddenly caster to center from 90 degrees offset.

you were right! Wow

3 cheers to the Airbus engineers. Made the sticks job easy.

I hope that was the F.O. that was the first one down those airstairs.

MSNBC also said that they were lucky that this happened to the nose landing gear at the front of the plane and not to the nose landing gear under the wings. That's when I turned the channel and listened to Al on CNN. Once O'Reiley was over, Fox when to continuous coverage.

That was the Captain. He's one of the best guys you'll ever meet. Great Job Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
