First time, seeing a landing gear failure landing today

one of our multi engine aircraft( PIPER SEMINOLE) has a landing gear failure today.

Everyone of our college stopped working. we were all standing on the apron waiting for the aircraft to land without gears. It had no gears at all.

the airplane had to flew for more than an hour to burn the fuel to a minimum in order to lose the weight.

Eventually, the plane landed successfully without any accidents caused. The airplane touched donwn with the buttom of the plane and fortunately not much spark produced. But the fire truck still had to shower the airplane to cool down the plane.

We are all proud of our instructor. He's just amazing.

i have seen it before on youtube.

but just can't believe that it happened here, and of our college's airplane.

People in canada now, should watch CTV or CBC news, i believe they would boardcast this accident.


 

this is the same one as the one that i am talking about.

 

Sorry, i could not take any pics or video coz it was too far away and i was focusing on the landing.

  4. i am now in New brunswick, canada. 日日都有,只不過睇下新聞有冇報導,OR 是大是小. 總括黎講,作為飛機師, 這些風險係無可避免.   NO, it can take up to 4 people on board.
