I recall many years ago a QF B737 landed at Ayers Rock and promptly lost hydraulics to the nose wheel steering. No alternate on a -300.
More recently a QF B737-800 landing at Darwin lost both nose wheel systems when in the flare when a perfectly aimed bird strike took out both hydraulic lines in the nose wheel well. Was pretty interesting for a while for aircraft holding at Howard Springs while the organised a tug and a cleanup team to clean up the spilled hydraulic fluid.
Most recently a Virgin B737 overran the runway in Hobart. If you weren’t carrying Launceston you were in a world of pain.
It happens.
Krismiler is correct.
The Regis. are archaic.
Just rolling the dice.
