C210 in Wagga

[Mooneyman20c]

EGW a C210 had a gear failure at YSWG. Emergency service were called out and the pilot circled for a while, then did a great gear up landing. All safe. Hats off to the pilot.

Made the local paper + 18 photos.

Geezus not that long out of the paint shop with full SIDS and gear door mod. Nice aircraft. 210T Rotten luck.

[Adsie]

trying to think ???

Isn't it in the 210 POH to shut down engine prior to forced landing ?

Just asking

[Capt Fathom]

Can you tell from the photos or video that the engine wasn't shutdown prior to touchdown?

[Stanwell]

Ummm.... Yep!
Soundtrack on the video, CF.

[gerry111]

I reckon the sound that you hear on the video actually comes from the diesel engine of a fire truck adjacent to the camera.


Have another listen perhaps?


A clue is the lack of 'Doppler Effect'.

[Stanwell]

Could very likely be, Gerry.
Didn't think it sounded quite right.
Thank you.
