Maybe. We're told to get as many down as we can, though.

Yeah, you're all just a bunch of dumb asses.

Well you got that wrong. It would be a _pace_ of dumb asses. Dumbass.

Bwhahahhahhahha

Sorry, I'll minimize the damage as best I can while following
manufacturer's approved procedures. *I'm betting nowhere in the 'ho's
AFM does it say to shut down and feather both engines on short final.

There are a million emergencies that can occur in a plane where there
are no procedures written about in the POH. There's nothing in the
regs that say you have to follow all "emergency procedures" in an
emergency. Handling an emergency isn't about just following what the
book says.

They can't buy me a
new certificate when it gets yanked because I invented my own
emergency procedures.

Has this even ever happened before? Has there been an example of the
FAA going after someone who feathered the engines while doing a
belly-up?

If it was me, I'd consider feathering them, but only if I thought it
could be done effectively. If it's a three-blade, or a turboprop of
any kind, I won't do it. If there's a chance of going around I
wouldn't do it either, but since I learned to land consistently (back
in my pre-private checkride days) I've had to go around, what, twice?

You are an idiot.

Bertie

Your a dumb ass.

YOUR?

Bhahahhahahahaha. God I love usenet.

Unless he had to go-around after feathering both engines.

Why would he want to go around after short final? Are you saying
the
POH says land on on one wheel? Now apply some PIC skills. Which is
safer, a belly landing with engines off or the crash landing the
pilot
made?

Actually, a partial gear landing is considered safer. I've made on (
not
by choice, one failed on touchdown) and damage was minimal. The
airplane
was flying agian the next day.

S'funny you say that as I was reading some RAF stories from the war
and it seemed like gear up was the way to go. The touble with one
wheel down is what happens to the wing wen it catches on the ground
and starts a groundloop. It seems to me that accidental gear ups do
relativeley little damage to structure.

Well, in my case it happened at high speed and we did eventually
groundloop, bt at low speed and with little damage. The left prop got
it, but the boss did a crank check and found it OK, so it flew the next
day. Cracked drag link was the culprit. For large aircraft, even those
without underslung engines, they do recommend that we take whatever is
down. I know a few guys who have landed completely wheels up and the
damage was pretty heavy. A Beech 99, for instance ( lots of those have
been wheels up)


For the Gulfstream III landing with any two (2) gear legs down and
locked is preferred to landing
with only one gear down or all gear up. Should only one gear be
extended, it is recommended
that the gear be retracted and an all gear up landing be performed.
Landing with only
the nose gear down and locked is specifically not recommended.

Do you know why it would be different for heavies?

Cheers

No, but I sure he will make something up. He has a better imagination than
MX.

Nah, and it might not be like that for all of them. They don't giove
us a lot of info about stuff like that these days. they only tell us
what they want us to know. What they do recommned is that we shut down
all engines when the airframe begins to contact the ground ( in the
757, anyway)
