United 757-200 suffers significant fuselage damage after hard landing in Newark
A United Airlines 757-200 performing flight UA627 from Denver (DEN) to Newark (EWR) suffered a hard landing, resulting in the aircraft partially skidding off the runway. The fuselage just above the nose gear also suffered significant damage during the ordeal. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
My understanding is the pilot flying was on her second IOE trip.
Looks like one of my flight simulator landings
lol!
Quite often (too often) we see pilots get in trouble not knowing how to handle a bounce landing. I review Flight Safety Foundations recommendations with my crews every company recurrent training. This is important since you can't demonstrate "bounce landing training" in a simulator. You need to determine if it is a high bounce or not. This has be determined immediately because the nose pitches up after the first bounce. The determination must be made whether it is higher than five feet or not.
Suggest you go to their web site and note their recommendations.

Don't bounce! At this level there is no excuse.
What aircraft are you flying? If it's an A320,A330, B737NG, B777 or B787, and your simulator wont demonstrate bounced landings, time for software upgrade or new simulator.
And the nose does not always pitch up after the first bounce, if it's high. I've seen some bounce back end high enough nose pitches down and front gear takes a hit, then back end slams the runway and blows out tires. (not always).

Will United aircraft cockpits now be fitted with tape measures as standard emergency equipment??
