Ok, for the benefit of Airbus 380:
Mr NSEU said in post #11
Who are "they"? I spoke to an engineer working on the defect... and he said otherwise. He said that the crew cycled the landing gear several times, but kept getting the same faulty indications.
I then voiced my concern over multiple attempts to get the gear down citing our own Boeing proceedures and COMMON SENSE.
I then corrected myself AFTER reading the A330 FCOM 3 and ringing an Airbus mate
I then further said that I still thought 3 cycles was stretching the intent of the FCOM a bit. To which 404 titan basically agreed.
So you see, I didn't start the "cycled 3 times" suggestion.
So, Mr A380 man, get down off your high horse my friend.
