Synopsis

A PART 135 CARGO PLT LANDS WITH GEAR NOT EXTENDED AND MANAGES TO PERFORM A GAR WHEN A SCRAPING SOUND WAS HEARD AT ZZZ.

Narrative

I APCHED ZZZ. I WAS HELD HIGH AND TOLD TO KEEP SPD HIGHER THAN I USUALLY DO. DURING THE DSCNT; I LOWERED THE GEAR HANDLE. THE GEAR DOORS WERE OPENING AND I CONTINUED MY DSCNT. RELEASED TO TWR AND DSNDING; I LOWERED THE FLAPS. FLAPS TAKE 27 SECONDS TO REACH THE 20 DEG SETTING. AT THIS POINT; THE GEAR HORN SHOULD SOUND. THE GEAR HORN CAN ALSO BE ACTIVATED BY A REDUCTION IN PWR TO FLT IDLE. I WAS UNABLE TO REDUCE PWR TO FLT IDLE DUE TO THE NEGATIVE TORQUE SENSING SYS ACTIVATING. EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR HANDLE WAS DOWN; THE GEAR DID NOT EXTEND. I CONTINUED THE APCH TO LNDG; NOT NOTICING THE GEAR INDICATORS WERE NOT SHOWING THE GEAR TO BE DOWN. I HEARD THE BOTTOM OF THE AIRPLANE SCRAPE THE RWY; PULLED THE YOKE BACK AND ADDED PWR. DURING THE CLB AND RETURN FOR LNDG; I WAS ABLE TO GET THE GEAR DOWN. I RETURNED FOR A LNDG WITH NO FURTHER PROBS AND LANDED. SEVERAL FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS INCIDENT: ABOVE NORMAL APCH ALTS AND SPDS; FAILURE OF THE GEAR TO EXTEND; AND PLT NOT VERIFYING GEAR WAS DOWN. TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN; ATC COULD HAVE PROVIDED A MORE STABLE APCH WHICH WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME MORE TIME FOR PROPER PROCS. I SHOULD HAVE CHKED THE GEAR INDICATORS AND FOLLOWED PROCS.

Frequently asked questions

How do I search flights by aircraft type on FlightFinder?

Pick an aircraft model — Boeing 737, Airbus A320, A380, Boeing 787 Dreamliner and more — enter your origin airport, and FlightFinder shows every route that plane flies from there with live fares.

Which aircraft types can I filter by?

We support Boeing 737/747/757/767/777/787, the full Airbus A220/A319/A320/A321/A330/A340/A350/A380 family, Embraer E170/E175/E190/E195, Bombardier CRJ and Dash 8, and the ATR 42/72 turboprops.

Is FlightFinder free to use?

Search and schedules are free. Pro ($4.99/month, $39/year, or $99 one-time lifetime) unlocks the enriched flight card — on-time stats, CO₂ per passenger, amenities, live gate & weather — plus My Trips with push alerts.

Where does the route data come from?

Live schedules come from Amadeus, AeroDataBox and Travelpayouts. Observed routes (which aircraft actually flew a given city pair) are crowdsourced from adsb.lol ADS-B data under the Open Database License.
