Whoops!

Nice one! Hope there is not too much damage and all are ok.
|
Just been on the ABC TV news. Not sure he's down yet.
|
Lets see if his 120 hours of CPL training have trained him well enough to land on two wheels! As for which wheel is missing could make for an interesting arrival !
We will find out at 1pm :ok: |
Should see the photo of assembled press on twitter.

Restricted area of 15 miles just placed on Mangalore
|
Currently the most popular feed on liveatc worldwide.
At the moment there are 175 feeds, and the next highest is 55. |
Landed safely
|
There's about half a million photographers at Mangalore. You'd reckon one would tweet a picture!
|
Funny. I type t-w-e-e-t and PPRuNE displays!

UPDATE: A Student pilot has landed his stricken plane at a regional airport north of Melbourne
The aircraft, missing its back right-hand wheel, came down at Mangalore Airport about 1.20pm. Fire crews foamed the runway, but the Piper Warrior veered off to the left soon after touching down. The plane lurched, then came to a sudden stop.:ok: |
Glad to hear he is safe and all ended well! Didn't warriors have this issue once upon a time? Under carriage departure? I've heard a few stories now, including two at my own school many many years ago!
|
Anyone got a rego?
|
That's the most exciting thing to happen in Mangalore for a while. Good to see all the assembled students had their flouro vests on, we wouldn't want to cause ANOTHER incident, would we? :8
Well done the pilot, looks like it became a total non-event:ok: |
Well Done Nicole, great photos:ok:
|
Nice job. I was thinking I might have stuck to the sealed surface to avoid the leg digging in. I thought landing on the grass would trigger a ground loop (which it didn't). But then again, the cost of fixing the sealed surface might be more thank the value of the Warrior.
Some days you just need to remind yourself that a good landing is any landing you walk away from. He's done a text book job. Door cracked open, prop stopped. Wonder who's paying for the flying time to burn fuel? :rolleyes: |
OK. Brain fade.
|
Evertime I see the firies foam something, that is not on fire (yes I know it's a precaution) I hear my old Instructor telling me "Tell them not to foam it. It's not on fire!"
|
Good to see him finishing the shutdown checks whilst they are giving him a foam bath !
