kiwic130alm Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Evening I was just wondering if anyone can confirm the suitation around the C130 gear failure of the aircraft below When were discussing why it happened and what the findings were. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkuest Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Not 100% on this, but I heard through the grapevine it was one of the last H models made, which had a newer strut modification. According to some tech rep, the modified strut did not need to be chained during a malfunciton, so the crew just landed it with the malfunction, then the rest is on the video. No clue what the malfunction was, or why a tech rep would be making the decision to not chain the struts during an IFE event like that. Can't remember the tail number, but it was a '95 or '96 model for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C130Hcc Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It was a Minnesota Air Guard plane. I believe (if my old memory serves me) a '94 H3 model. I don't remember the details of the safety investigation though but I remember we had to do inspections on the gears of all our H3's at the time.

I watched the video again just to see if the lights were still on :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
