Why the 737 landing gear lever has an “OFF” position ✈️ It’s a question I get asked quite often and understandably so! “OFF” isn’t a logical position for the landing gear! The landing gear is retracted into the belly of the aircraft using hydraulic pressure. Once the gear is fully up, mechanical uplocks hold the gear safely in position. However, with the lever in the UP position, hydraulic pressure is still being applied to the system. This is unnecessary now that the gear is being held up with mechanical latches and places extra demand in the hydraulic pumps. So, once the gear has been retracted, the pilots will move the gear lever from UP to OFF as part of the after takeoff checklist. This simply removes hydraulic pressure from the retract lines. When the pilots configure the aircraft for landing, we move the landing gear lever from OFF to DOWN. This action releases the mechanical up locks and the gear is lowered using a combination of hydraulic pressure, gravity and air loads. Once the gear is fully down and locked, a green light - one for each set of wheels, will illuminate. Should the primary gear down sensors fail, we have a second set of green, gear down indicators on the overhead panel. As long as the gear is indicating down and locked on either the primary or standby indicator, the gear is down and locked and safe to land on 👍 In the very unlikely event that the gear won’t lower normally using the landing gear lever, we have a standby gear lowering system which allows the crew to manually release the gear uplocks and allow gravity to lower the gear - see my reel showing that system in operation .

Aeronaves Douglas DC-9F UNABLE to retract its landing gear after takeoff at Louisville SDF Airport. Tower alerted the crew to the issue shortly after takeoff. The aircraft continued with the landing gear down until the crew was able to resolve the problem around 10,000 feet. The exact cause is currently unknown. With sdf.planespotting

How the Yak-38 Main Landing Gear Retracts The Yak-38 uses a retractable tricycle landing gear. The two main landing-gear legs retract forward into the fuselage area above the engine compartment, while the nose gear retracts forward beneath the fuselage. The arrangement was designed to keep the retraction mechanism relatively simple while fitting the landing gear into the aircraft's compact structure. The Yak-38 was a carrier-based V/STOL attack aircraft, with its landing-gear arrangement integrated into a very tightly packaged airframe. Yak-38 main landing-gear retraction — 3D animation. 📷АртемБондарев-ю9р

In 1999 this plane made an emergency landing with no flaps or gear. You can see even with a smaller plane just how difficult it is to accomplish this feat.

Airbus A380 Body Gear Steering (BGS) procedure in progress during ground maintenance. With the aircraft hydraulically powered, steering inputs are applied and transmitted to the body landing gear, demonstrating coordinated gear movement in response to nose wheel steering commands. 📹: u/aviationkidd310

This week's blast from the past is the final flight of the last double bogey Air India #A320 - VT-ESL in June 2019. These aircraft were originally delivered to Indian Airlines (IC) with twice as many wheels on the landing gear. This is where the "double bogey" reference comes from. Back in the day airports where IC operated did not have optimum infrastructure i.e., runways and taxiways for aircraft with a standard landing gear. Which is why to better distribute loading and ease the strain on the landing gear, Airbus custom made these for IC. A quick glance at the landing gear of a standard A320 -VT-EXA and VT-ESL below will help explain the above better. #AvGeek

The Advanced Arresting Gear stops landing aircraft by using electric motors and water twisters to control the tension of the arresting cable. This system absorbs the jet’s kinetic energy and brings it from about 150 knots to a full stop

Made this cool plane in Roblox that uses the new aerodynamic forces to glide (no cframing!!). Completely physics based with rudder, elevator, aileron, flaps, landing gear springs, and breaks! WIP, Spoilers and reverse thrust soon... #RobloxDev #Roblox

A video circulating online appears to show a Russian Su-35 making a difficult landing, with one main landing gear touching the runway before the aircraft is fully level and the wingtip briefly scraping the surface. The pilot quickly regained control and completed the landing safely. Modern fly-by-wire flight control systems continuously assist pilots by making rapid control adjustments to help maintain aircraft stability during critical phases of flight. Was this recovery a result of pilot skill, advanced technology, or both? #su35 #russia #RussiaUkraine #JetCrash #putin

When the Nose Gear Never Came Down! ✈️The crew of this Boeing 727 tried extending the Nose Gear but did not receive a down and locked indication, leaving them with only one option, to perform a controlled nose gear-up landing! The pilots executed a very smooth landing, maintaining the aircraft on its main wheels before the nose gradually settled onto the runway, bringing the Jet safely to a stop. Incredible Skills by the crew 🔥

Another View of the Cessna Citation EJA803 emergency landing at Akron Canton Airport. The pilot knew that there is no second chance or room for error. He touched down on the main landing gear and then carefully brought the nose down onto the runway, keeping the aircraft under control throughout. An incredible display of precision, composure and aircraft handling under pressure. 🎥 Michael Grossman

✈️ One of the craziest landings I’ve ever seen The aircraft fights its way towards the runway in strong crosswinds, touching down on the right main gear first, then the left. The landing doesn’t look right, and the crew immediately decides to go around. Then, just after liftoff, another powerful gust hits the aircraft, pushing it sideways and making it turn. That’s just how unpredictable strong winds can be around an airport. One second you’re landing, the next you’re climbing away and fighting to keep the aircraft under control.

Shocking footage from May 2019, shows Aeroflot Flight 1492 burst into flames upon crash landing. The aircraft experienced an electrical failure and returned to Sheremetyevo Airport for an emergency landing. It bounced on touchdown and landed hard, causing the landing gear to collapse, fuel to spill from the wings, and a fire to break out. The fire engulfed the rear of the aircraft, killing 41 of the 78 occupants.
