All I've got in my mind at the moment a picture of a number of Engineers reading this thread, rolling their eyes at some of the comments of non-Engineers about how perfect they would be at doing our job and they would never make this mistake, or have the solution. If any of you are 787 pilots, why have you never noticed this Murphy factor on your aircraft when you check the pins are removed? Did you actually look at the right hole, or just check there was no flag hanging down? To be honest, I've fitted the down lock pins to B787 NLGs numerous times and it has made me wonder if I got right 100% of the time as I wasn't aware of this issue until this event, despite over thirty years line maintenance experience! There by the grace of God/imaginary being go I????
