Jetblue Gear Problem In LAX

[Tim47SIP]

Good Job!

You guys are quick!

Great Job for the crews! Right on the center line!!!

 

[WorldOnTime]

Tremendous job guys.... Are pilots overpaid now?? :-D

 

[dbert]

cheers
Kept it on the centerline

 

[SWA/FO]

is that "Canyon Blue" on the side of that thing?

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.

Good call!!

 

[SWA/FO]

check brake cooling

Good to see the fellow aviators do so well. All business aside, Great Job. Very happy to see that they will be at the bar soon!

And they're down. Did anyone else see the aircraft name :CANYON BLUE" Could you imagine if this were the end of a same crew trans-con turn, landing at Kennedy in fog, at night scenario? Good thing they don't do that.

 

[SWA/FO]

Hey Canyon Blue,

They named an aircraft off of you!!!

How do you get on TV as a expert?


"Gee Whiz!"

 

[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.

[miles otoole]

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

Great job, JB crew! Couldn't have been any better!

 

[radarlove]

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.

 

[holdon]

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