(from Sol Air) Major damage slid down runway say written off, main gear folded back behind. Aircraft on its belly and engine/pylon, nose 4 foot in air.
Crane truck and bulldozer on the way to clear runway, Sol Air diverted to Vila.

Crew got out ok.............

It's not a EFA aircraft. EFA are all Australian registered Aircraft.

As per the OP it's a Toll aircraft. The EFA 73 doesn't usually move on a Sunday though....

It looks like the righthand main collapsed. Hard landing or just a matter of the gear giving way? What ever was the cause it will be a nightmare trying to salvage the aircraft, as resources are fairly limited in that part of the world. Glad the crew are ok.

They were landing ? So why are the trailing edge flaps nearly or are up and the leading edge flaps out. Would landing config be full trailing edge flaps if so the canoes covering TE flap jack screws on R/H wing should have scraped the ground seems from photos they have not scraped the ground ? The gear has come out to the right and rear.

I see the R/H nose tire is blown and #1 out of reverse.

26th Jan 2014, 06:52
1/ that's the right Engine with the Reverser sleeve open, number 2
2/ the right nose wheel is deflated possibly as a result of the crew applying a fair bit of left rudder and or tiller to keep it straight, side loads probably caused the tire to fail.
3/ as to the Flaps, maybe they had a non normal situation with them beforehand??

Who knows......:D

Can anyone who flies a twin in this case 737 advise if they had an engine shutdown or idle is a flap 5 landing called out in the Emergency checklist ? I have only flown 3/4 engines 72/74/DC8s ??

I received more photos the R/H main tire is scrubbed out all up the sidewall until it blew suggests the aircraft was going sideways nose left of runway before the tire blew, ......

Agree, too early to tell but if it was during landing then perhaps wx was a factor? Maybe the VASIS was overgrown with grass (not an unusual occurrence over there), perhaps she was off glidslope, unstable, who knows!
Next day or two should provide some insight, just glad the Drivers walked away unscathed :ok:

My 2 bobs...

Aircraft ZK-TLC
Airwork owned and operated - Leased to Toll Priory
Maintained under the NZCAA Airwork system of maintenance.

Looks like Aircraft has landed and during the rollout and braking phase the MLG has failed. Flap config is probably due to the wing being cleaned up after landing. IE: T/E flaps are almost full up as the L/E won't go to full up until the T/E has.

Thrust reverser does look deployed on #2 Eng, but could have been pulled open as the engine was dragged along the Tarmac. The Flat RH nose wheels is actually the I/B wheel of the LH MLG if you look at the pic closer.

If I were a betting man I don't think this bird will be flying again.

Most operators do not retract flaps on the runway. Maybe the should read "most operators in this region". If you were going to configure flaps for an evacuation in a pax plane you would select flaps 40 (more flaps than the typical 30, eg)

I do not know what procedures are in place for freighters in a non-normal landing. If it was me, I would select 40 in case the fwd exits were blocked and I wanted to preserve my fine pink young self with minimal souvenir scars.

That said, the aircraft is on the rwy, the crew are apparently unscathed, the world is rid of another ancient -300. What's not to like?

Solomon Star newspaper (http://solomonstarnews.com/news/national/21547-aircraft-crashed-on-touchdown-no-casualties-reported)

An eye witness Joseph Abana told the Solomon Star that he was at the eastern end of the airport when the incident occurred.

Abana claimed the aircraft was hit by a strong wind to its right side when it was about to land.

“When it landed its tyres appears to have collapsed so it slides on its right side till it stops near the domestic terminal.

“Its right wing also crashed to the ground and as a result damaged its turbine engine.”

He said it took some few minutes before the fire service responded and rushed to the scene.

“Fortunately the crash did not ignite fire and none of the three crews on board were injured.”

Mr Abana also called on the aviation fire service to pull up their socks and to be on alert every time.

If full flap (30 or 40) was selected for landing and maintained throughout the landing roll, would you expect to see any damage on the flaps and/or canoes on the far RH side as it slid down the runway?

Would the initial downward force as the gear leg snapped cause any part of the wingtip or flaps to contact the runway?

The last pic doesn't seem to show any marks or ripples at all.

I've found a video of a TNT example O/S a few years ago. Doesn't show any damage, but the nose doesn't lift after either. Big difference though is that they knew they were going in with the RH main gear up.

MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO GO AROUND BEFORE GOING IN THE GRASS.

As suggested before seems its well offline to the right of runway in a straight line , scrubbed out R/H main outboard tired and blew the sidewall ( see photo close up ) trying to get back ? Does any 737 "pilot" ( not driver ) think flap were retracted for the go around before the gear came out ??

The TNT 737 had the R/H main not extend but ended up on the engine.

ChaseIt
27th Jan 2014, 05:28
If they did plan to go around they would have set flaps 15.... If I can understand what your asking correctly no they would not retract the gear before verifying 'positive rate' on the altimeter...

27th Jan 2014, 05:31
whats minimum flap for normal ldg?

4 Holer
27th Jan 2014, 05:35
Yes. the TE flaps look up and canoes faired except where the bent R/H T/E piece where the gear hit. Must have been selected up at some point after touchdown to capture the bent TE from the gear , but the Leading edges are extended maybe would not retract as the R/H inboard T/E flaps are chewed up and not stowed. Your right very interesting maybe the FDR will reveal all.

I don't see why he is on such a crusade with this?

There is N registered aircraft operating around the world under the same thing.

I also don't get what the issue is with having different variants of aircraft either? Pretty much every operator around the world has multiple types of aircraft under their AOC?

There are multiple 737 accidents pretty much every year. Why the crusade on THIS one? What's your agenda?

KABOY
27th Jan 2014, 08:58
Removing all emotion....landing gear collapses are just that. The RH MLG on this aircraft has suffered a catastrophic failure, not a collapse.

And SW and United have 1200 jets between them and Delta and American another 1200 together and there are 10 million people in LA, 320 million in land of free with snow ice rain etc ? What Delta flies in 1 year takes ANZ for example 70 years to fly. It would take Toll / Airwork 10,000 years to do same yearly flying as Southwest.
A couple of 737s in NZ and a whopping 3 million people, seems a lot of gear failures at ANZ regional and Airwork if you have a google.:{

No agenda can just sniff there maybe something wrong if the surface ever gets scratched by the regulator.

Well no actually. Statistically if you have a google, B737 gear collapses are very rare on the ZK register. The Air NZ link aircraft gear problems are unrelated to this aircraft type being that they fly Q300s.

When was Airwork's last gear collapse?

There have been multiple main gear collapses on the the 737 all around the world in the past 5 years.

Accident: PIA B733 at Muscat on Feb 11th 2013, main gear collapse on landing (http://www.avherald.com/h?article=45d93bd3&opt=0)
http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/391328-malaysian-b737-4-main-gear-collapse.html
Accident: Shaheen B734 at Karachi on Apr 22nd 2012, left main gear collapse on landing (http://www.avherald.com/h?article=44e6328b&opt=0)
Accident: Sky Airlines B734 at Antalya on Oct 10th 2011, gear collapse on landing (http://www.avherald.com/h?article=444461f4&opt=0)
Accident: Aeromexico B737 at San Francisco on Jul 21st 2009, gear collapse (http://www.avherald.com/h?article=41d0e9f9&opt=0)

And I believe the last US gear collapse was Southwest's gear collapse, when somebody attempted to land on the nose gear first.

How many of these incidents occurred on the ZK register?

So I ask again, what is your beef with Airwork. Why are you so interested in slagging a small relatively unknown operator based in the South Pacific that operate a rag tag fleet of B737 classics seemingly that your based all the way in FL?

Square Bear
27th Jan 2014, 10:11
Warren9 and the like,

your post has WHAT to do with a busted B737 at HIR!!

At least 4 Holer is on subject......

And my take, well it is busted and looks Flaps 1, so leading edge deployed as would be expected.

HIR is 2200m long, with Domestic taxy way around 1800m in from RW 24.

Relevance, don't know what runway the aircraft landed , if 24, seems early in the peace to be retracting flap (unless very light and thus slow), if 06 would have thought flaps up would be normal...not unusual at all to clean up on the runway considering such a short taxyway to either the International/Domestic tarmac.

Interesting choice of words too.. lets emphasize the word CRASH.. and not gear collapse.

You want this thread on the gear collapse kept open.
TW. Good keep the thread open. Have photos coming under the aircraft, smashed wheelwell and gear ripped out will post.:E

Talk about Schadenfreude....

Lets throw a few wild allegations in there too..

MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO GO AROUND BEFORE GOING IN THE GRASS.

You mention you fly/flew DC8s

I have only flown 3/4 engines 72/74/DC8s ??

You also mention that your heading to BNE on the HeavyLift DC8.

I am heading down that way soon on the HEAVYLIFT DC8-73F will spend most time in Brisbane.

There happens to be one DC8 doing the BNE-POM run..

http://ybbn.********.co.nz/2013/12/douglas-dc-8-73f-ob-2059p.html (*******) = b l o g spot

And I see you have a healthy dislike for the B737F, fair enough, personal opinion...
http://www.pprune.org/freight-dogs/480245-dc-8-71-72-f.html#post7088234

You also allude to the fact that it's crazy, damn crazy I tell you, that a NZ operator can be based out of BNE flying to the Pacific.

J.M.

I received a few P.Ms seems that its NZ rego allows Toll to operate Australia domestic under NZCAA away from the CASA who the PMs say are more strict for Australia domestic.
That sounds real crazy like if the Canadians could come fly domestic in USA and Vice versa WTF...............

Seems luck ran out today if they are what you say, wonder if the gear has records back to berth ??

BTW,did a bit of googling seven planes ALL different 733F,734F,737P,734P from all over the place no way would the FEDS (FAA) let you run on 121 cert so many variables/types and pax with such a small fleet .................Must have a friendly CAA inspector or two

So heres guessing that your on a ex N registered DC8, that happens to be technically based in POM, but really out of BNE, operating on a Peruvian register... talk about kettle calling pot...

Heavylift Cargo re-registers its DC-8-73(F) in Peru - ch-aviation.com (http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/24445-heavylift-cargo-re-registers-its-dc-8-73f-in-peru)

So putting two and too together.. Airwork are your competitors.

28th Jan 2014, 02:46
It appears that if the TE flaps were extended any greater then the position in the photos (F1, F2 or F5 perhaps?) when the gear failed, there would have been much more damage to the inboard TE flap from the (collapsing) outboard RH main wheel?

Would a flap asymmetry at 1,2 or 5 mean a landing at the existing flap setting? I recall an OzJet early model 73 having a LE flap drama in Noumea, I think? Badly broken actuator?

God luv's a scandal, but I am not your competitor but thanks for the compliment. I have no idea of your competition where, when , route etc but I can tell you from experience a little about a B767F and -73F . I would suggest on a mid length route say 3-7 hours with 50,000 - 100,000 pound payload a B767F or-73F will wipe the floor with a B737F on a per pound basis. Is this what you are panicking about ?? Lets stick to topic you can go start another thread.

28th Jan 2014, 04:24
Sure, and if you only have 10 -30,000 lbs to shift, what's the point of paying for a 767? The 737 does that fine, and cheaper. I'm sure that if Toll needed to shift 50 to 100,000 lbs, then they would seriously value your input......:rolleyes:

Monkey you are exactly correct, it was G15 speaking about DC8s and competition, I simply pointed out how can the 767F/-73F which are in a different market compete on a light short sector.

It has nothing to do with anything that's why I suggested G15 start a new thread if he wanted to slag off his competition he was speaking about.

Let just stick to the smashed Toll/Airwork 737 in HIR. I am getting some new photos tomorrow of it dragged off the runway.

I guess the CAA will be taking a close look at the circumstances surrounding this incident. I think it is lucky the New Zealand CAA has oversight of Airwork and not CASA, otherwise none of their aircraft would be flying (based on the way CASA do business). I have been told that they do not have a safety department or safety manager in Australia and all oversight is done from New Zealand. This may change following the accident.

If it was just a case of the gear collapsing then it is unfortunate for the two guys at the pointy end. Talk about bad luck.

This is definitely not a simple gear collapsing incident. I have worked (fixed) many of B737s in my life and this is a catastrophic failure of what looks to me like the LWR Side Brace attachment to the strut leg.

Take a look at the side view photo of the blown tire. The bearing circlip is popped off and there is no hubcap bolts missing ???
No hubcap no anti skid ( non or a lot of brake ) ?

I Presume the crew did not remove it in that position so who changed the wheel in BNE :ugh:

Do you think the tire was deflating ( or was at 80psi shipping pressure ) on departure it has run a lot more than just the touchdown looking at the wear on the sidewall, look how much the sidewall rubber is worn around the hub and it is a new looking tire, seems to have blown out the side.

Can some technical people take a look and advise, I know tires get real hot when under (psi) serviced at high aircraft weights ????

You seem to know a lot for a bloke who hasn't flown them!!!!!

Ya know - even I'm not the smartest engineer in the shed - but I reckon an incident that can do that sort of damage to the undercarriage may just be enough to possibly break the measly little screw heads lockwired together and shimmy the circlip out due to the extreme forces.

I mean the wheel is still on the axle! Nothing to see here, time to move on...

Could the aircraft have been configured for take-off rather than landing when the gear failed?

I Presume the crew did not remove it in that position so who changed the wheel in BNE:ugh:

*Do you think the tire was deflating ( or was at 80psi shipping pressure ) on departure it has run a lot more than just the touchdown looking at the wear on the sidewall, look how much the sidewall rubber is worn around the hub and it is a new looking tire, seems to have blown out the side.

God luv's a scandal
Seems so do you eh 4 Holer?

Having changed numerous 737-300 MLG's in the past, they not easy to remove and install.

If you look at the trunnions they are both exposed and appear to be intact.

Could be a major failure of either the fwd or aft MLG supports as suggested on some earlier posts.

And for old mate 4 holes, plenty of aircraft have landed with main wheels deflated, antiskid inop or strut deflated and they have not resulted in a MLG collapse.

If I remember correctly, Ansett had something similar happen on one of the 737-300's. Gear wouldn't come up on departure at Melbourne, but they got 3 greens when they selected it back down. Landed back at MEL Ok & the problem was found when the gear was inspected. It was suggested that they were very lucky that the gear didn't collapse.

For that 4 holer parked at BNE to fly to or from any Australian port will require issue of a FAOC. Just a minor detail, of course, but it will require someone in CASA to make a courageous decision.
