Undercarriage problem
Hi All,
I haven't posted for a few years on the site and never oin this forum so if this is the wrong place then please advise where I shoud post this kind of question.
I came in to LHR last night. When we took off the pilot dropped the undercariage shortly after raising it. He came over the intercom to tell us there was an over temp warning and he'd dropped it to cool off.
The landing was interesting. We seemed to come in at a shallow angle with flaps set similar to take-off. We hit quite hard & the braking time seemed shorter than normal. I'd have thought that if there was any possibility of overheating on landing, the best approach would have been as slow as poss with lots of flap.
Anyone care to comment on the standard procedure in this event.
