Just discovered you and immediately subscribed! I LOVE your hilarious Irish commentary and your knowledge as a commercial pilot completed everything. Thank you! Please keep more coming!
I wonder why the checklist would say to immediately raise the gear after a tire failure? Reminds me of a DC8 that blew a tire on takeoff, retracted the gear and crashed after fire from the burning tire spread to the fuselage.
Gosh, would never wish this on anyone but then to land heavily on the right undercarriage that is already compromised! Did PF forget which side it was (or not know) and try to land firstly on what he thought was the intact side? Well, at least they are all down safely but the passengers must, after all that had happened, had a real moment at that final stage - I know I would have done!
The system has drained itself very quickly, but it would have shit down before becoming empty. However, that final amount of fluid would be preserved for alternate / reserve brakes and centre system flight controls. Nose wheel steering would have returned once they slowed down on the runway. Taxiing may or may not be an option, but likely ok with just one main wheel failed.
Hey Pete, are you 100% sure that that dip to the right was attributable to eejitry or could it have just been a gust? I noticed a bit of rudder action around the same time.

I frequently operate out of YSSY and those parallel runways can get a little ‘wake turby’
Great analysis Pete. And good contribution comments from others. Hopefully the passengers will get on their journey soon enough.
Thanks for your message and I'm sure they got to the sun, sea and sand of Thailand soon enough. P🍀
The beautiful flex of the 78 is unmatched ❤

look at the right flaperon
Update with the aircraft: still in the hangar in Sydney getting fixed
Someone did the right thing. Left rudder, left aileron. Why? Dunno, but Sydney 34L can get fickle in light winds.
Why did the landing gears go up after touchdown ?
If you mean the doors, It’s an aerodynamic consequence. It wasn’t under hydraulic control. Flapping around.
