Here's the full surveillance video showing moments before the... Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 (D-ABPQ) nose gear collapsed at Frankfurt. If you watch closely, the nose landing gear doors open first, indicating what appears to be the start of a normal landing gear retraction sequence. According to reports, the Dreamliner had logged a maintenance request the previous day involving a landing gear door error message. On the Boeing 787, maintenance personnel can place the aircraft into a special maintenance mode (on the overhead panel, turn switch to "enable"). Boeing manuals emphasize that if maintenance mode is enabled, hydraulics are powered, and the gear lever is selected UP, the landing gear can retract regardless of weight-on-wheels protection. To prevent this, there's an override button where the gear handle lockout can be bypassed to move the gear handle even if it is locked out. The only way this can happen is by intentionally bypassing the normal safety lockouts used during maintenance procedures. Outside of maintenance or certain emergency procedures, the aircraft's weight-on-wheels system prevents gear retraction on the ground. Lufthansa says the aircraft has since been recovered. Fuel was removed, the jet was lifted, the nose gear was re-extended, and the aircraft was successfully towed under its own weight to a maintenance hangar. Germany's Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation has completed evidence collection from the aircraft and is now gathering witness statements. An interim report is expected within approximately 8 weeks. 📹: airlinersde via YouTube, link on first comment here.show more

Flight was "causing concern to civil authorities": Two Royal... Air Force (RAF) Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled on the evening of July 24 to intercept Qatar Airways flight QR23 from Doha to Manchester after the aircraft became a cause for concern to UK civil aviation authorities upon entering British airspace. According to the RAF, a Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) was launched as a precaution. The Typhoons intercepted the Boeing 777-3DZ(ER) over the Nottingham area, although the escort was reportedly discontinued before the aircraft reached Manchester. The flight landed safely at Manchester Airport at approximately 7:45 p.m. BST, where emergency services had been placed on standby as a standard precaution. Authorities have not officially disclosed the reason for the interception. However, aviation tracking reports and industry sources suggest the incident may have been triggered by a temporary loss of radio communications between the aircraft and air traffic control, though this has not been confirmed by the RAF or Qatar Airways. The RAF said only that the flight was "causing concern to civil authorities" and confirmed that the incident was resolved without further issues, allowing the aircraft to taxi normally to its gate after landing.
