Icelandair Boeing 757-200 Suffers Right Main Landing Gear Collapse After Landing In Iceland
An Icelandair Boeing 757-200 suffered a right main gear collapse after landing at Keflavík International Airport in Iceland. (www.gatechecked.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Hmmm.. Out of Kefalvik mid June.. Looking for calm winds!
Looks like the ACFT sitting on LH main gear and on RH engine does not leave a lot of weight for the nose gear.
Does that indicate that if both main gears collapse on a 757, the ACFT would sit on both engines and on its tail ?

whew! at least it wasn't that pretty blue one I just saw in the photo browse...
I was on a USAirways 757 flight from KPHL to KBOS in 1998-1999 (don't remember exact year) where the right main gear partially collapsed on landing. We had to wait for ops to bring higher mobile stairs because the right side's drop made the left side doors too high for the regular stairs, and they wouldn't let us exit on the right side. The right engine was not touching the runway, but it was close (couple of feet). I was surprised that the incident was never reported to NTSB. It was clear that the right main gear strut was significantly damaged and I'm certain that bird was eventually put back on the line, but I thought those types of incidents were reportable (especially since they held us for a few hours to speak to airline reps). It was a full flight (first of the morning from PHL at 0630 was always full) and probably 200+/- pax.
I can't wait to hear what Juan Browne from YouTube's Blancolirio channel has to say about this.
Dump of an airport! Feel sorry for anyone who has to stay there too long!
