Is there a news story to go with that?
I bet that pilot is getting in some trouble now!
ShanMan14 10-25-2005, 09:27 AM None that I can find. BTW, :welcome: .

imagine the price of a new wheel :yikes:
I bet that was a bumpy landing. :help:

Yeah, no kidding, plus all the inspections it's going to take to make that landing gear airworthy... or replaced.
rworkman98 10-25-2005, 12:31 PM That's an expensive mistake!

But that was probably the mechanics fault not the pilot.
Also, they keep telling us that we should still fly vs driving... but this is the second type of tire landing problem... the other one being the sideways JetBlue landing.... :nonod:
How could they take off? Or can the emergency brake be applier from inside the plane.
Could have been worse, they could have been flying and the plane break apart. Then part of them live and are strandon on an island with no idea where they are, strange polar bears, and the "others"...LOST

Most likely when the pilot touched down the calipers locked. 10,000 to 1 it was mechanical failure. It's not an E-Brake BTW:wink: I've seen Air Force planes break (engines locking up, landing gear not holding the weight of the landing, front strut snapping etc, etc...) but this is the first tire failure I've seen. I'm going to send this on to some of the plane mechanic guys. Yes, I'm Air Force, but I don't work on planes. Just the permanent fuel systems. I think some of the other guys on this board are plane mechanics...maybe they can shed some more light on this...
Oh, and :welcome: beau!
Gas Man 10-25-2005, 04:48 PM talis... let us know what your buddies say...
twisty 10-25-2005, 04:59 PM That would be fun.
Gas Man 10-25-2005, 05:03 PM That's one way to look at it! :lol:
Thanks for the :welcome:
I'm surprized anybody noticed that that was my first post.
Gas Man 10-27-2005, 10:24 AM That's the way we do it around here cause :twfrox:

Big surprise, 10 replies before this one got :jacked: with the :welcome: :twfrox: BS. :bash:
talisman_13 11-01-2005, 04:34 PM Sorry it took so long, but here's what a C-130 guy says:
In my humble opinion, I think the wheels locked up and caused a massive blowout. Look at image #6. see the skid marks? That tells you that the anti-skid system went tango-uniform. But it could have been a # of different things. FOD, or worn out tires, or stuff like that. I'd go with the anit-skid though.
Gas Man 11-01-2005, 04:53 PM I don't understand how that would make both rear landing gears to lock up.. but then again I know nothing about this stuff...
talisman_13 11-01-2005, 05:05 PM I don't understand how that would make both rear landing gears to lock up.. but then again I know nothing about this stuff...
I believe the Anti-Skid system would be one system for both wheels. I don't think you'd want any chance of one wheel locking up, the plane would spin. I think...logic from Talisman...scary stuff
Gas Man 11-01-2005, 08:29 PM True!!
Those tires are filled with ether, so they just blow up if punctured. I remember in 2000 I was working outside by the flight line and I thought a bomb went off. It turned out that an F-15's tire just blew up. That **** was LOUD!!
