What I love is that in spite of your posts, your username is still pronounced "Be Drunk. Ah."

Similarly, Capt Sullengerger who safely landed in the Hudson river a couple of years ago had a glider background.

I just finished reading Chesley Sullenberger's book the other night - he made a point of mentioning that he didn't think his previous gliding experience had any benefit to him. Something to do with a glider being designed to glide compared to the Airbus falling out of the sky at a rate comparable to a lift falling two stories every second...:eek:

If movies have taught me anything, what they should have done was get someone down into the belly of the aircraft via a lift in the galley, and give the landing gear a good boot to free it up. Probably a dead terrorist caught in the mechanism.

I would have thought a priest if there was one on board and some sticky tape would have done the job as well, a good tape dispenser also helps.

Isn't this against the charter these days?

If so, why is it being flouted again and again these days?

You can rest assured that there will be a serious in depth investigation into exactly what has failed, there are emergency systems to get landing gear down in the event of a hydraulics failure, and for all 3 sets to hang up means that something fundamental happened to the system to prevent the backups from operating.

Do we know all 3 failed though? If the nose wheel failed for example, then it would possibly be better landing with none of the landing gear down.

Passengers from that plane were saying they didn't even feel landing was without wheels and plane was assisted by two f16 before landing -pilots of f16 were giving information about landing gear.

Charter:

If a post is illegible, contains excessive text speak or lacks paragraphs/punctuation etc., you may point it out nicely. Once

Well I guess than you're on a last warning Broads.

Well they'd have to be to fly all the badly maintained airliners, what with the mechanics being out of their heads on vodka and all:D

That's because they were so tanked on Vodka

OMG who reported me? What sort of dweeb would report a post like that? It was even thanked by a mod. I hardly broke the charter.

Anyway, I've run out of things to say about this Polish pilot other than, I want whatever vodka he was drinking.

Lucy8080

impressive.

but our ryan air pilots would refuel in twenty minutes and atempt a take off without the undercarriage.

polish -impressive

michael o' leary- remove the undercarriage( proven by poles as unessessary waste of space) and fit some more passangers in.

This is just your fantasy.

ps: and look who drinks gallons... http://www.askmen.com/top_10/travel_200/218_travel_top_ten.html

You certainly nailed it there Biedronka, judging by the tetchy replies. They give it but can't take it.
Nice one.

Today's a bank holiday (all Saint Day, everyone goes to the graveyard and then home for gallons of vodka) in Poland & they had the President there on tele a few mins ago, looking like he'd been at the vodka all day with the family. Sporting a fine Movember and all.
Far play to the pilot tho in all seriousness, Poland's been having a bad time of it recently with train & bus crashes and the big plane crash in Ukraine that they had to take the blame for.

Didn't the Polish presidents own twin brother and predecessor not die in a plane crash last year ? You can see then, why he might not be in top form when on telly dealing with another plane crash or near crash. No vodka required

Not F-16, try MIG-29's

Makes the Hudson landing look a bit tamer...but the Hudson one probably took more skill. Can only imagine what the noise in the cabin must have been like... I hope in this case there was a loud round of applause after it came to a halt...

I didn't say that they didn't. The intercept/wheel check was carried out by Fulcrums though
