The situation arose this afternoon at about mid-day and ended with a safe landing due to the skill of the flight crew.
There are two seperate incidents, yesterday was a gear problem with a FlightLine BAe 146 into Manston and todays was the EU-Jet F100 main gear problem.
The F100, the more complex emergency compaired to the 146, aircraft made a flypast and this showed the starboard main was stuck in the half deployed position.
The aircraft then went of to carry out a set of manouvers to try and release the gear but this failed so circled the feild to burn fuel.
Then the crew decided to make a touch and go to try and bump the gear out to full deployment, the first failed so a second attempt was made with a good result.
The aircraft then made one final flypast to confirm the gear was now extended and the crew said they then had three green at which the plane made a safe landing.
Excellent skill of the crew ...
Well done !
