Surely they cannot of had 3 greens or even checked to see if they had 3 greens if the u/carriage was not down and locked. The flight to ABZ would have been about 30 mins therefore the CVR would have been over written, so no proof of a checklists being carried out. If there was a problem with the u/carriage at Wick, then how come it worked Ok at ABZ ?
It will be interesting to see what action Eastern Airways take against the crew and who is to blame.
