777 Landing Gear Malfunctions 

Really interesting to know that and thanks for the clarification. I was at LHR a couple of weeks back and saw the exact same thing - a VS A330 and I commented to my colleague I thought it may have had an issue. Mystery solved!

I've saw it also when the breaks are hot and they leave the gear down a couple of minutes to cool down

@@daviddellavedova5751 Happens at PHX quite a bit for that reason.

Don’t give up your day job. 😂

Got a 100 upvotes too🤦‍♀️

hot brakes maybe

It was a husband and wife, the husband said "positive rate" and the wife just didn't say anything. "You should just know" she said an hour in as they ran out of fuel.

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 At it again huh ? You are either humourless, common sense deprived, or bad at math, choose one. And here's a hint to back my claims. His comment got 188 likes against your 13. Even better was your same comment on another video where he got 218 likes against your ZERO likes. Of course you can carry on with your self important comments but they'll always be met by my rejoinders....

Yeah

5 does not mean butter. It is a GWPS callout selected by the airline. Please stop spreading false infomation. 5 will callout even if the landing is hard

@@TeamS1mple It's the RATE OF CHANGE of callout height that indicted a smooth landing.

@@TeamS1mpletrue. However, no pilot says “butter”. It’s called a greaser. 😂

- Posts timestamp saying you can hear the ''5''. You can't hear the ''5''.

Which one was yours? Edit: found it it was the 777X clip

Yep, for sure. I'm sure they came back around and landed after that.

I have seen this many times, on another channel, live from Heathrow. It has to do with tires still spinning, so they eventually retract and don't have to return.

It is standard procedure to wait 10 minutes after takeoff if the antiskid system fails. The Antiskid system brakes the wheels after takeoff to avoid the effect of the gyroscope during landing gear retraction

I understand what you mean. This is very interesting to know. @@user-eb8zs4yu9s

Yup to the above. Can also happen for hot brakes: leave the gear out til they cool down to avoid wheel well fire. Unlikely here as Manchester isn’t that big and it’s not that warm so not much taxying and braking. Most likely anti-skid failure as noted or maybe an inoperable brake which means they have to wait a certain time for it to wind itself down and stop before retracting.

I'll try to double check extra when I'm rigging and testing them.

its a plane. only dorks call them birds

Usually has to do with the radar altimeter being adjusted for the very point of touchdown at a certain angle itself, so when the gear is still fully extended. Once more weight rests on it and it settles into its usual position on the ground, the aircraft once again loses a bit more altitude as measured by the radar altimeter, in this case about two feet

They were pilot monitoring.

Even the PM should be concentrating on flying and not mucking about with a camera. Totally irresponsible.

@@EdOeuna Its a mounted camera

@@Owlventure_Aviation - the video is being shot through the HUD. This means it’s in the pilots line of sight, not mounted somewhere else in the cockpit and looking over the PM’s shoulder. The camera also moves when the pilot leans forward (for the gear I recall). If the camera is mounted, then it’s on the pilots head, which would be equally, if not more, irresponsible than the PM holding the camera.

Cause actually that is how POV videos or shot otherwise they wouldn’t be titled POV 🤷🏽‍♂️

nobody says that

I think this is a joke, and if so it's funny! It is a joke, isn't it? I mean, the time between a landing and the next take-off would be way long enough for brakes to cool, and a plane wouldn't attempt a take-off with overheated brakes as they might be needed for an aborted take-off. I'm sure it's a joke. Voted up.

@@fluchterschoen Not a joke. This really happens during short turnarounds.

Well, still voted up for being very interesting information. What about my point about the safety issue of taking off with hot brakes? Hot brakes means less effective brakes - so what if they need to abort take-off and stop in a hurry?@@jepolch

@@fluchterschoenan A330 doesn’t have quick enough turns for it to become an issue. It’s the 737s and A320s that struggle with hot brakes, because they are on the ground for such a short time. This likely was more the case of an anti skid failure or having one of the brakes inop. They would wait for the tire to spool down, before retraction. Normally, this is done by the brakes after take off.

No, they don’t apply the brakes just before takeoff to ‘slew’ the plane!

it is whatever the MEL says.

@@justing42 no shit

true statement A330 MEL 32-41-01A or 01B

Test flights they usually happen at london heathrow

Nope.

Not easier, a better situational awareness.

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Speaking of situational awareness it seems pretty sketchy for the captain to be recording with his phone like that in this phase of flight even if he isn't pilot flying.

@@YouCanHasAccount I would agree with you, but looking at how the camera moves when he reaches for the gear, I think he has a camera strapped to his head.

@@YouCanHasAccount actually, I’ll be honest with you. I think all these cameras in the cockpit is becoming a hazard. The FAA never allowed this 20 years ago. You were not allowed to have anything mounted in the cockpit, temporarily. First of all, those things can become projectiles. But more importantly, I think pilots are distracted now a days, trying to be the best videographer and actor, instead of being a pilot.

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183idk, all of the 777 and 787 pilots I’ve talked to, they find it a lot easier to get nice flares with the HUD.

gees that's not good when the pilots start talking about hospitals 😊

@@AndyPat239That would be a strange thing to say, in any case. Gear up landings aren't a big deal.

Planes are designed to land gear-up without much as far as ill effects go, provided it stays on the runway. Yes, it will need repairs, and it won't be able to taxi, but other than that the aircraft should be able to be returned to flight after repair, and the passengers should remain unharmed. The more dangerous condition is landing with only one main landing gear extended, because this would cause the aircraft to veer off the runway. If you have no gear, that means you just need a longer runway, and you won't be able to taxi. The need for a longer runway is likely why they actually chose Burbank. The engine nacelles for instance are designed for quite a bit of punishment, including abrasion from skidding along the ground due to a gear-up landing. Same for the portion of the nose or tail that will be sliding along the runway due to the same gear-up landing. Heck, the DC-3 had the landing gear arranged so that if you had a gear-up landing all you'd have to do is fix the bent propellers, since the landing gear were built right into the bottom of the engine nacelles on that one.

maintenance check flight or repositioning for gear repairs of some sort perhaps. Plenty of reasons to keep the gear down.

Engine-out second segment climb performance.

Someone else has pointed out that if the anti-skid mechanism fails to brake the wheels after take-off, there is a delay in retracting the (still spinning) gear to avoid slewing due to the gyroscopic effect of the heavy, rotating wheel and tire. I didn't know this, and it's pretty fascinating. There might be a different reason in the case shown, but this is one possible explanation.

yes drag, also as the aircraft speed builds up there is a speed that retraction should not be attempted due to structural force limits

@@davejones542 makes sense !

They don't need to be as the folded sections are raked like the Dreamliner's wingtips which is another technique to reduce wingtip vortices :)

The lack of professionalism on display is astonishing!

I’d suggest that the centre hydraulic system demand pumps aren’t working and that the system is prioritising the retraction of the main gear before the nose gear due to a lack of available pressure to do all at the same time. The gear falls by gravity so extending isn’t so much of a problem.

most do, have had both...one isnt any better than other...

It's a 23-year-old plane, it's not Boeing's fault, it's due to insufficient maintenance.

Yeah. That's what he does. The clips are pretty good though. His target audience knows Zero about aviation, so they get an interesting story in one sentence, it took you a whole paragraph and you didn't even scratch the surface of what was really happening. Your anger is yours to control. Let it go.

No pilot ever delays the retraction of gear in order to achieve an ATC specified limit like speed or altitude. Gear has absolutely no correspondence with speed or altitude and just gives great drag to the aircraft.

You’re not, but your boyfriend still loves you.

@@xploration1437 bro there where 0 views and why do you have to get so disrespectles just bekouse in my perspective i was first because nobody had commented at that point i could even send you screenshots but actually i dont even wanna talk with some body who has no respect so go back to your momy

@@derrainerwinkl3r you’re the one who typed “I was firsttttt” and you’re telling me to go back to mommy? Nobody cares about your baby game of being first, which you even weren’t.
