HeliComparator,
I realise I am just extending the short shelf-life of this non-story, but.....
Are you saying that the pilot should have just discounted what the indication system was showing, discounted the notes in the Emergency Checklist, ignored the L/G caption as the speed reduced, landed on and lowered the collective fully - without taking the option of seeking engineering assistance?
All because he understands the system?
There was no 'drama' - only The Scotsman thought that.
212 man - when passengers have been safely disembarked from an aircraft that has a potential problem with the undercarriage, why on earth would you want to try and get them back on board again. Surely that would be odd logic and safety behaviours!
