July 13, 20169 yr Came in too heavy into LFPO (Orly, France) this evening. I don't know why. No excuses. METAR was fine, etc, All 65 pax evacuated timely and fuel cut off/ engines down in a similarly timely fashion. Left on the taxiway scratching head in disbelief. Right gear wheel ripped off with subsequent collapse. Note to self; wine drinking or flying B738 - Decide!
July 14, 20169 yr Jim: Maybe flying the B737 first. If that doesn't work then, definitely, wine!! Cheers Roberto Roberto Stopnicki Toronto, Canada
July 15, 20169 yr Hi Dan, I always understood it this way: Good Landing = Everyone walks away Perfect Landing = You can use the airplane again! :-) Rich Boll Wichita, KS Richard Boll Wichita, KS
July 16, 20169 yr I remember such thing happening at the end of a 777X flight I did a while back - No damage to anything were noted, but the right landing gear clipped into the ground and the aircraft veered off the runway to the right. Probably something transient. Still provided a rare justification to pull the evac alarm...not that it's a good thing, of course^^;; Jiang/James Wu FSX/A+SE
