Anyone got any details? One of Air Australia's aircraft down, looks like a nose wheel collapse on 24L at Jandakot today. |

No. Proper technique here.

Looks like the nose gear didn't lower. Did the pilot get a gear unsafe warning light? :)

I trust you were jesting about the gear not lowering and gear light SM, at least I hope so if you really do hold an ATPL.

gerry111, I usually call for "Down and Welded", it seems more accurate!

Then again if you are lazy when challenged "Check Wheels" you respond with "Beep" |
Lucky they just missed the school and the hospital. The airport should be closed!

Bloggs,
As several of my students well remember!! MJG |
There was a training Chieftain doing a glide approach last week at Archerfield.
First time I've seen that. |

Whenever I lined up for short finals in a C150/2, a long while back, I always called: Pitch-Full fine, Undercarriage-Down and locked, Wing flaps-Set, Cowl flaps-Open... ;)

OF: The way it was explained to me was that it is sensible to have a 'standard' checklist so that it works whether you're flying a fixed gear aircraft or a retractable gear aircraft. If your checklist includes a 'gear' item and you happen to be flying a fixed gear aircraft, there's no downside and all upside in confirming "fixed and welded". You might be flying a retractable the next day...
|
I'm with Lead Balloon, I have this situation regularly at work, can fly a fixed gear for a week or two then swap out to a retract for the next week or two, some are carby some aren't as well believe it or not! So I find it works for me.

Gerry stated late finals. Presumably he would have conducted his pre-landing checks downwind. My comments were simply referring to C150-C152 I had flown. Besides, I know Gerry and I was being "tongue-in-cheek" as the aircraft mentioned does not have a constant speed prop or cowl flaps and has fixed undercarriage. Runway clear - Carby Heat Off and correct flap Set are all meaningful checks I think.
