Ethiopian Airlines 787 nose gear collapse
It seems that a 787, ready to depart to FCO after pax boarding was completed, experienced a nose gear collapse. One FA was injured.

Could be interesting... do you have any links?

Not having the best of luck at the moment with the aircraft striking the airbridge in Harare less than two weeks ago.

Is it the same aircraft in both cases?!

Was it the improperly pinned nosegear on a maintenance test perhaps?
I saw this impressive demo years ago on a B-742 in SIN. |

cockpit to ground ...
Brakes released, pressure zero, you are cleared to push.
That's what normally happens ... right ? |
Teddy,
What instrument do you see pressure zero indicated on a 787? |
Brake pressure (generic)
Dear Cough,
I'm not rated on this aircraft, perhaps somebody who is could comment further. Somehow, and by an established procedure, it is a good idea to ensure that the brakes are released before commencing a push, no ? |

what pressure ? electric brakes........
|
OK .... lets keep this simple
Presuming one is commanding one's B787, how does one deduce that the brakes are released prior to instructing the ground team to commence the pushback ? or does a "special light" come on in the tug :rolleyes:

However if this was a pushback-accident, I would say that in order to snap the gear's links, the breaks must have bitten after the a/c was moving at a steady speed. Tea and cookies with the CP...must wear the hat! DK :{ |
What came to mind was the candid recollection of one of the first line trainers I had "a while ago". On his first command sector he called pressure zero and didnt release the brakes, the nosegear folded neatly. But point taken, the 787 has plenty of inertia, so that scenario doesn't seem very likely.

Red and Blue lights in the NLG too. |
fair (informed) comment .. we shall wait further.

my only reply on this;
While troubleshooting a fault message someone was not following procedure and accidentally retracted the gear. Take it or leave it. |
