LZ...
I look forward to this report... primarily for 2 things:
1.
According to my source the pilots performed exactly in accordance with the operating manual
That old ability to 'think outside the box' came in very useful. But it's exactly this ability that is being increasingly suppressed by operating sophisticated, highly automated aircraft designed by geniuses who have thought of every possibility. Except for the unthought of one....
We are going down this route, and a report highlighting the weaknesses of this approach can only be welcome!
2. The FL pattern used. Look forward to seeing the exact pattern planned, and used by the crew - the result was excellent!
Incidentally, since you seem in the know, apart from the wheel / tyre damage, was there any other damage to the aricraft? I seem to recall it landed heavily enough to crease the airframe (?), but not sure if there was any truth in that? Was it a quick repair and back into service?
