To all the left seat boffins: We recently had a B727-200 land at an extremely low glideslope angle.
Post incident FDR readout-indicated 2 touchdowns 4+ secs apart, with no significat registration of vertical descent G and with immediate deceleration to a stop after the second touchdown. Reversers were not deployed. 3 main tyres were blown, LH strut collapsed and 4 brakes were W/O. (Plus someones very precious runway was blocked for 3+ hours!).
Post flight the anti skid tested S. It appears that the anti-skid was "fooled" into thinking the aircraft was on the ground by the "skip-spinning" of the mainwheels after the first touchdown. Is there a recommended minimum approach angle for the type?
Has anyone encountereed a similar situation?
Any other comments (printable!)
