In no way did I state or imply that. I did compliment my own landings, though!My thoughts (which won't be anywhere near as professional or correct as the Russian)
False unsafe indication? As a crew member, you do not have the right to assume a false indication. What may look normal from afar may not be. Those pilots, if they followed procedures, would have tried all alternate means of obtaining a green light on that landing gear. Crossing the fence, they knew that the gear was not secure. You would know too.That gear looked awfully normal to me, and looking out the window they probably thought it was a FALSE unsafe indication.....which happens a whole lot more than an actual unsafe gear.
Why would I second guess the crew for making an attempt to be safe? From the beginning of training, pilots are taught to secure the engine prior to a possible or imminent impact. I would rather look silly than be injured or dead.They sure would have looked silly, and probably even secondguessed by you had they shut two perfectly normal motors down. I don't think the Dash 8's have APU,s but not sure about the -400.
You do, and so do I. Maybe we can learn from theirs.good thing I never make mistakes
Geez! You got me I'm a Zookeeper.Come on Russian...Tell us the truth...Your really not a pilot.
There must be a manual reversion to use the rudder. Otherwise, that aircraft would not have been certified. The problem is that the props will fragment, possible killing or injuring passengers and crew members in the aircraft.
Those guys had EVERY reason to believe that the gear was going to collapse. You must treat every unsafe gear indication as the real thing, even if there is a chance that the gear is ok. The aircraft would not have been gliding for more than a few seconds. I have stated many times that the proper time to secure is in the flare closer to touchdown.
I answered your question, so don't try to act like I was dodging you. If you didn't like my answer, respond to that. If you are settled with my answer, move on to another question.Russian, for the last time..
What does the Dash-400 QRH say in reference to "landing with unsafe gear"
This was not in either QRH.Both turboprop QRH's I have dealt with recommend securing the engines just prior to touchdown.
