Wheely?
Any information on the CHC S-92 with the stuck nose gear in Aberdeen yesterday?
|
In the paper it just said they had to lower the gear using the emergency method, so no big deal (mind you, it is dangerous to believe anything you read in the paper!).

The engineers got it down while the aircraft was in the hover. I have a couple of pics taken by a friend but I don't have a hosting account and I am not signing up for one. I will email them if someone wants to post them?

Yes, you can see them through the window.

I recall when this happened with another aircraft type at ABZ. The customer wasn't very happy due to their passengers being on board and risk assessments etc whilst there was an engineer under the aircraft.
Evacuating the pax in the hover - oops, one of them slipped and is now underneath the helicopter with a broken ankle! No, the only correct procedure to keep the interfering client happy would no doubt been to have them beamed out, or maybe use the time machine to go back and select a different aircraft. No wonder the industry is in the state it is in - far too much time spent appeasing the ignorant client instead of getting on with doing the job safely. |

So what did they propose as an alternative? Continue to hover whilst completing risk assessment paperwork -oops, ran out of fuel! |
A hearty well done to all those folks!

It's been posted before but different era (1965) and a bit more challenging to sort out!

There was a similar incident at Redhill with an A109 and David Cameron. They decided to get him out from a low hover.
David Cameron jumped from helicopter in landing drama - Telegraph |
Democritus,
Are they carrying out a crew change as well? :) |
Not a set of ear defenders to be seen - had they been invented in 1965? Or did they get in the way of listening to the sweet sound of a pair of R-R Gnomes?

No Gnomes there though - it's a Wessex Mk1 with a single Napier Gazelle engine. |
