Asymmetric landing gear extention
Recently I have seen an incident/accident report of landing with asymmetrical landing gear extention. Crew elected to land with partial gear and stopped perfectly fine on the runway center line. My question to you fine people is which one is better, landing with no gear or landing with partial gear?
My craft manufacturer does not opine on the subject and emergency checklists have no asymmetrical extention option so it seems to leave decision to pilots. Arguments for landing asymmetricly would be at least partial braking and directional control as well as perhaps less demage to undercarrige. For retracted gear landing lesser chance of rolling the plane.
So whats your opinion ?
