I just thought I would clear up a couple of misunderstandings on the J32 incident at ABZ last week. Sadly the Press and Journal paper in ABZ printed little in the way of facts and lots of hype - Nothing new there then! There was no emergency declared since the gear indication was safe - 3 greens!!! Yes there was a gear problem but one of the main gear would not retract! So in the end, the crew landed with 3 greens which was safe. The fire crews were given the choice if they wanted to assist and one unit was stood down when the aircraft vacated the runway since everything was normal.
