Gear Pins.

Which airline might that be, Mutt?

Of the many many reasons that a MLG would not retract why do you instantly imply that it was because a gear pin was left in?

Unfortunately, the "guesser" is none other than the self proclaimed 'expert' and CNN aviation pundit, jondc9 which is precisely why his reputation here on PPRuNe is lower than a low something or other. This is what happens when someone elevates themselves onto a high pedestal without the proper credentials to support them.

Please don't blame PPRuNe per se. We do our best to get informed speculation rather than uninformed opinion. There is a difference, believe it or not even though CNN wouldn't think so even if it hit them on the back of their collective heads.

Does this guy post under two different handles then?

Whoops, my apologies. I have just read the thread correctly and realise that Danny was talking about jondc9, not fmgc. My post above has got the wrong end of the stick.

O' Lord, he's a talking head as well. During the Jet blue Airbus cocked nosewheel landing in LAX, the local San Diego station was trotting out a staff reporter who happened to have a PPL as their aviation expert.
