737 emergency landing at Ben Gurion Airport
https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/...problem-594268
Israeli fighters meet aircraft in the air to inspect damages. Full emergency declared by airport. Luckily all was OK. https://www.timesofisrael.com/passen...n-tire-pickle/ |
Looks like they are using slim-line engines to enhance ground clearance
|
And Airbus-type winglets.
Fortunately they missed the school and the old folks home!!!! |
Hey, if anything goes wrong, it must be a 737, or at least a Boeing :ugh:
|
At least they didn't say it was an Electra.

Also tried to get fighters for a buddy check (as there was collateral damage to L engine, hydraulics and gear down indicator too) but they could only offer me a Fokker Friendship - with pax on board... This assistance we thankfully declined. Fortunately no smart phones or Facebook in those days but some nice letters afterwards. |

Surprisingly no mention of MCAS.

“The landing itself was really clean, as if an Israeli Air Force pilot did it. There was applause and singing,” one passenger told Ynet.
I guess you non Israeli AF pilots aren't so good then :p Hard hat, flak jacket and door closed on my way out |

If you blow a tire on T/O, is it then normal to retract the gear, continue to destination and then declare an emergency?
In my book they should have kept the gear hanging to preclude further damage on retraction, burn some fuel, get inspected by alert fighters if possible, and land at the nearest suitable field. Or did they not know the tire had burst? Apparently the pax noticed... Am I missing something? |

As indeed it was, on this occasion. B734 operating for Arkia.

Fair enough - the photo in the linked article clearly wasn't a 737. Although given the current state of what used to be known as journalism, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised...
However the Times of Israel article (second of the OP's links) did show a photo of the aftermath of the incident, and the aircraft involved. |

They closed the
runway at CGN for a while until all the debris had been collected. Might have been a little more than just a burst tire. |
