Being Boeing, NGAD would mean: No Good Aircraft Development ??

BA in the 80s that would have been considered on time.

I guess it’s nice to mention that the RAAF have two B737 Max 8s. Although, they’re not a military variant of the 737 Max, but a 737 Max 8 BBJ variant.

Wow. This makes me feel very uneasy.

I wish I was in the “know you” category, I would have loved to come and helped out. Hopefully change this in the next month or so.

I will tune in for sure. I’ll have to share with you when I do some live shows next. Are you still going to Thailand regularly??

There are lots of questions. That wall is certainly one of them. I don’t know ICAO laws with regards to airports, but there’s certainly an oversight there. I’ll give that video a look soon.

You don’t get catastrophic failure on 737 landing gear. Such a simple system, all independent with manual way to extend. There’s even multiple ways to retract them as well. Sadly my gut feeling is pilot error. Possibly overwhelmed with something else.
comment in response to
post
Ultimately No. I think they may have been overwhelmed and simply forgot the landing gear despite the alarms and warnings. We must wait until the investigation to finish to find out though.

This is a wonderful example of how engineers and pilots work together for the love of their aircraft and aviation.

I’m going to have to go to the shed and dig out my old course notes now. Lol. :)))

Yes. With the logic correct. Altimeter is correct. But from memory rad alt and/or alt
But no with the reverse lever operation. Levers have to be idle and the Trev levers are locked from acell until both half’s are 73% delpoyed. (That’s NG and Max). Classic was the same but the inputs were mechanical
comment in response to

It’s Is. I forgot what its reference logic out was to close the logic circuit for altimeter. But I do remember it exists.
Technically there’s a fourth, but that’s mechanical override and that takes two of you to deploy.
comment in response to
post
So to clarify. Rad alt or altimeter at or below 10ft or air ground circuit closed.
comment in response to
post
Altimeter at or below 10 feet. But dusting off my 30 year ago 737 classic memory and notes it’s in that system. NG I think may have the two. But there’s generally two variants of the NG systems. So I need to consult my course notes again. Don’t start me on the Max T/revs, too much electrics there.

There's actually a third "or" logic gate in the T/Rev deployment system on the 737. But you're right with the first two "or" gate logics.
comment in response to
post
That's actually a deployed T/Rev. Would not be ripped open by impact due to the sync lock system. Needs to be hyd deployed. It would completely ripped off from the bottom if that damage was to occur. The upper actuators would remain locked in position. In that picture that T/Rev is deployed.

It's so hard to even speculate at this stage. I can only make and educated judgment with pictures I have seen..
comment in response to
post
Ultimately not out of the question, but extremely unlikely. The number two engine powers B Hyd's . A Sys is needed for gear. Plus, the landing gear control valve is on the roof of left-hand wheel well, way out of the way. Maybe a freak bit of shrapnel severed A sys hyd.
comment in response to
post
(Only speculation) but sadly, the crew under stress may have missed putting the gear down despite the alarms that would have gone off.. Simple explanation to consider.. Early days yet.
comment in response to
post
The gear unlocks hydraulically using system A. Engine 1 powers System A and right-hand elec bus electrically powers System A (2 power sources). You only need the hydraulics to unlock the gear. It falls after unlocking. If you didn't have A hyd's, you can manually unlock it to free fall.

So glad to see you here posting on Blue Sky...🙂

Actually, thinking about the gear systems now. It’s not impossible, but extremely unlikely. Air/grd circuit has to be active to release gear up physical solenoid to be active. Anyway, that’s how we think through the issues and possibilities.
comment in response to

I was thinking inadvertently retracting gear before Vr. Rare event, but it had happen.
comment in response to

I actually can’t see the spoilers. You might be confused with the underside of the hori stab. It’s genuinely hard to tell TBH.
comment in response to

Gear is on A sys. But you can manual extend anyhow. Need nothing to drop it.
comment in response to
post
Okay. That picture tells a little bit. No flaps, but still RH T/Rev deployed. If it was both systems gone, you can still get LH t/rev deployed with Stby Hyd. It wouldn’t be dragged open, sync locks wouldn’t allow that. It would tear away before it being dragged open. They had b sys at least.

Just saw your fr24 post. Arriving.
comment in response to
post
Was it arriving or departing ?? It’s hard to tell by the video, but the flaps look like they were in the Take off config. RH T/Rev appears fully deployed which means they at least had system B Hyd.
