3 POB. Aircraft down safely.

Struggling to imagine how one can have an emergency in a Duchess.
Does it have enough power on either side to have a Vmca at all?

There is no "Emergency" section in the POH, Chapter 3 is tabbed as "Disappointment Procedures".

Horatio - the nose wheel failed to extend.

I'd say that certainly comes under the "Disappointing" category then

Freddo Frogs to the decision makers for taking the secondary runway leaving the main one open.

No Horatio, you can be mine!

Nine news reported that the aircraft was circling to dump fuel.

Before it ' crash landed'.

If it was a "trainee" pilot, with the "instructor" on the ground talking him down, how come there were 3 POB?

[Oodnadatta]

One of the Perth commercial TV stations said "the front wheel had fallen off".

Third Duchess in a few weeks to have gear problems. A B76 had a gear up after no extension in Hobart a few days back then there were two in Qld.


Frisbee you should know that the media will never let the truth get in the way of a good story.


Probably the Greenies are mounting a court case re the spray of fuel that the media told them was being sprayed around Brisbane. We can but wish.
