January 3, 201511 yr Moderator That was stupid. All of the wheels are now going to require replacing as well as the tires... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
January 3, 201511 yr Upon visual inspection, those tires where only flat at the bottom. They were still round all the rest of the way around so they were mostly fine....should be fine Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
January 4, 201511 yr The damage to the ramp area as well as the bogey assembly will probably mean a date for "tea and biscuits" for the Captain .

January 4, 201511 yr I find it baffling. He would have known it required more power to taxi than normal, and apparently the tower advised he had a lot of smoke coming from the right gear. The debris and damage shut down runway 15, plus taxiways and aprons for over 3 hours at Rio. Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict

January 4, 201511 yr Bad link. Possibly requires being a registered member to view... Hmmm...works fine for me. That's a lot of damage. I'm curious as to why the pilot taxied in... Devin CYOW
January 4, 201511 yr How about all the lovely debris for other aircraft engines to suck up? Richie Walsh
January 4, 201511 yr Moderator Oddly enough, the link worked for me this afternoon. Massive damage there on the underside of the wing and flaps. "Uh oh, better call Maco!" Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
