parabellum,
Since you asked,
Maintenance problems traced back to SIA, but that is not all.
Absolutely nothing found wrong with the nose gear.
Sby hydraulic pump NOT turned ON after engine failure.
25-30 kts fast on approach -a missed approach for most of us- remaining pumps struggling to get the flaps to landing position as a result not enough pressure to release nose doors. Flaps only got to landing setting just prior to touch down.
No GREEN LIGHTS on Flight engineer's panel - another missed approach for most of us-
But wait there is more, what the hell is that config warning going off all the way down the approach? Lets just ignore it and carry on -another missed approach opportunity-.
Just after touch down the tower informs the crew that the nose gear is up, with the reversers deployed the captain tries to initiate a missed approach on three engines-a no no-.
If it wasn't for the engineer stepping in and aborting the whole thing would 've ended up in a heap.
Commander- CX TRI/E training AN crews.
Cathay pacific check and training at its best!
