How a Metro 'ground loops'
Thread Starter
Wasn't there a Metro at Bankstowns with a flashing amber NWS light on approach? The pilot ended up on another runway? Or was that urban legend?
I believe the upcoming report about the Brisbane wheels up two years ago will also allegedly explain what happens when the undercarriage's emergency hydraulics are plumbed the wrong way.

I laughed again at 18 wheelers post. Having read it the first time around 2008?
I remember at the time he was most upset after trading a 747 for the mighty metro. Who wouldn't be I suppose!
Secretly every metro driver enjoys all it's quirks which is what makes it quite a satisfying aeroplane to fly. Especially when you fly it well.
I'd say all in all she's a solid grounding for bigger things. You just have to relearn how to flare again!
