SAS Q400 gear collaps CPH 27/10
Sadly it happened again. 16:53 LT a SAS Q400 had gear collaps on right main gear at CPH.
SK2867 coming from Bergen.
3rd time with right MG collaps on Q400 in SAS in very short ime.
No fire reported. AC landed on foam, according to press right now.
No fatalities.
One RWY closed in CPH.
Edit: Video footage now of landing. R/H MG did not appear to be down at all, or possibly only partially extended. R/H prop feathered.
Politicians out now saying that Q400 must be suspended permanently. (Election going on now....)

I agree..
One can only totally agree with Avman. Has it ever happened before that three almost identical SERIOUS incidents/accidents in such a short time plague the same carrier?
My SAS stocks keep falling and falling
I'm starting to loose my belief in this company. Something drastic needs to be done or soon I won't even be able to give them away. Most other carriers post record profits, which could have been the case of SAS as well, if it wasn't for the DASH disaster. This combined with their strikes of course.
Does anyone know if this plane was also based in CPH? Without pointing fingers one must start to wonder about what is going on in CPH.
Thank god for the solid gear of the DASH-6 I currently fart around in. Three down and welded
.. Maybe Bombardier should consider going back to this fool proof construction.

No gear..
Looking at the video posted in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, at www.aftonbladet.se, it doesn't appear as the gear was even out of the well at all. Sorry for not being able to psot the link for the video. Maybe someone else can help 
.
Once again a good job done by the crew. Quick emergency evac to say the least.

Video link from the above news link...

The landing looked pretty sweet this time. Did they shut down / reduce power on the no.2 engine on short final?

Doomed?
There are a lot of Q400s flying in the US and other countries without any gear failures. It seems that only SAS is having all of the failures.
Could the problem be in maintenance procedures and not design flaws?

Bearcat - I have to disagree with you - the Q400 is not shit
There are loads operated in the world in Europe and USA - how many have had this....3 all with SAS!?
Rather than direct all the problems to the D4 why not focus on SAS.......all airlines were required to ground a/c with more than 10000 cycles and all were/are fine so why SAS????

SAS has all the old -400's they will therefore find all the problems and honestly the -400 is a lemon. Beancounters loves it because it sips fuel. Pilots hate it because its unforgiving and just keeps comming up with new problems. Heard a pilot say that he loved the simulater checks because there he had an idea of what would happen, in the air the plane would come up with something new all the time.
Oh and this being election-time in Denmark the politicians are jumping at this one, one them has been out saying that he want's the -400's type license in europe cancelled.

Not quite fair to say SAS have all the problems - the Q400s in Japan have had incidents too. They are still selling (unidentified order of 10 this week) but Goodrich better figure out what's going on soon or Bombardier's bill from SAS for 70 million or so will be small potatoes.

The thing is that there are quite a few operators with fairly large Q400 fleets who don't seem to experience any major problems, only the usual sort of snags which would be experienced with any type.

Tyrolean also operate most of the earlier -400s. 
but haven't had any of those problems with the gear so far...
Maybe it's got something to do with the cold, salty air SAS aircraft are parked in most the time
