oday an Air Djibouti Boeing 737-500 suffered the collapse of its main landing gear at Garowe, Somalia. According to the AvHerald, the 28 year old aircraft, with registration EY-560, was performing flight IV-206 from Hargeisa (Somalia) to Mogadishu (Somalia) with intermediate stops in Hargeisa and Garowe. During the landing at Garowe Airport, it suffered the collapse of the right-hand main gear at low speed. (samchui.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Please DON'T land here at Garowe OK ? Because the ONLY Fire Truck we own has NO Tire On One Wheel ? So IF you do Crash Land then DON'T look for much help IF your Aircraft does happen to catch fire....
why have an airport at ALL if your emergency service do not exist
Knowing the 737 Gear as well as I do... I cannot see this happening... The gear on that plane is for all practicality fail proof. the only other time I did not see one come down was on USAir when a Ground person laid the chocks in the wheel well and they wedged between the wheel wheel and the wheel... No fault of the plane... I would bet they will find something similar, or faulty Maintenance.
Messier Dowty Landing gear ??
The ones that I used to work on were Boeing made gear and I thought that is what they stayed with.
From a picture I have seen, another aviation news site, seems the pilots touched down about 18 inches before the runway and it resulted in the gear being forcibly ripped off.....
