I had a landing gear problem years ago. In my communication with ground personnel on the unicom frequency local Emergency Management got involved as did the local media who were monitoring the EM freq. When the fire department came out to the airplane where I stopped it on the runway and asked where I wanted to go I pointed to the FBO as the media and spectators were outside the terminal building. By the time the media figured out where I was, I was already in another airplane taxiing out. They didn't get much of a story (as far as the actual problem) that day!
Very epic video! The pilot did an amazing job challenging all the feats to land (the wind, speed, stress and of course landing gear.) Definitely deserves praise and a promotion. :)
Great landing but he might have considered coming in a bit on the right. The added drag of left wheel missing should pull left. He added rudder but did not have enough to keep it out of the dirt.
That was a very impressive stop considering that he was missing a landing gear wheel. It looked so smooth, I wouldn't be surprised that the landing gear was the only thing damaged by the stop.
Oh no!! I hate it when you loose a wheel from your “FRONT WING....”!?!? Who gave this man a microphone? I hope there’s a news station manager somewhere with their head in their hands. It would almost be funny, if it wasn’t his job.
BlueLineSpeed It WAS funny. But as a pilot watching this stuff for 40 years it was "refreshing" to hear the announcer give credit where credit was due..."This pilot made an amazing landing.👍
Well. Commentary can be difficult. It spontaneous and in the moment. I probably would of said the same thing. Because in your head you really just mean the wing closet in view. Or in the front of the view.
@@MrWolfSnack One of my ex Co workers pulled my 80lb of lead shot out of the tail cone one morning when I wasn't working. He said he nearly shit himself when he ran out of elevator trim at ref+40 on the next approach.
I very glad everyone was able to walk away from that one!... Some Monday morning quarterbacking from someone who has also been in a similar situation... Great touchdown, at the beginning of the displaced threshold...(chose the longest widest runway possible of any suitable airport) That said, if you know you will have huge drag on the left side of the jet, land RIGHT of centerline in anticipation. This small step could have kept him on the runway. Asymmetric reverse, using only the right engine could have proven helpful as well, if available. All is all, well done! Once again, I'm so happy that everyone was OK.
The big guy in the loose white shirt was probably in the left seat. Good job, brother. It could have been a real mess, but he gently favored the other bogie, and it worked out well. No spin until the last moment. Everybody walked away.
Definitely a great landing. However with a left main gear damaged I would have gone for the right side of the runway. Had he done that I think he could have stayed on the prepared surface.
I don't know if the pilot meant to do it but the sparks from the landing gear were stopped as soon as he hit the dirt stopping flames and heat and stopping the aircraft with no more damage. I see a great landing.
Horrendous landing actually. Why would anyone land on the centerline when you are going to drag the left gear and veer off left due to drag. This landing no doubt damaged the gear and could have gone even worse because the fuel lines run right next to the gear not to mention the gear mounts are part of the wing which is the fuel tank.
@@alankulchecki3160 by not landing on the centerline of the runway lifting that left wing as much as possible which it wasn't done here either and this airplane has thrust reversers which would of being great to stop the airplane without skidding the right wheel.
Although pilot was able to land the airplane safely, it’s his job to go around the airplane and do the inspection. If a wheel lug nuts were loose, (I can’t think of any other reason how they lost the wheel) it should have been obvious during that inspection.
Impressionante os trabalhos das pessoas e máquinas de prevenção contra incêndios possíveis. Em poucos segundos de parada aeronave, as equipes contra-fire estavam apostos. Parabéns às equipes de segurança pelo trabalho eficiente.
Glad everyone's ok, but all could think of when I saw that gear was Ron White's comedy bit about the Sears Tire Store. "It fell off... it fell off... it fell the FU*K OFF".
The left wing may have some serious issues putting that strut into the dirt at that speed, also notice how that left Fowler flap worked, dirt flowed right over nicely. Lol. Anyway nice landing!!
Looked to me like the wheel was still on but without the tire. Would have been a much more dramatic landing had there just been a gear leg to dig into the runway.
If you want to look up the registration of any United States registered aircraft it's very easy. Go to your search screen and type in the registration number found on the aircraft. Note: all USA registered aircraft start with an "N". In this case type in: N4WG.
Ignorant commentary. Somebody please walk that reporter around a real airplane so he can be told what a jet engine looks like, the difference between wheels and tires, and exactly where everything is located ?
Man do I HATE news reporters. Ya your right Ian Powell he almost sounded excited "OH look at the sparks!" (maybe it will explode) then almost disappointed and deflated "it's down." (damn it no one died). They all suck. Also why did it take so long for rescue to get there? The ambulance chasers were there early enough to set up and film this, where was rescue?
Emergency crews have to wait on the taxiway, maybe far away, especially if the aircraft has gear problems and may lose control. Once the aircraft stops even the emergency crews have to get tower clearance to enter the runway.
Emergency crews have to be waiting away from the runway until it the aircraft is down and stopped, for safety reasons as they don't know where/how the the plane will come down in the end. Once it is finally on the ground and stopped they speed over as fast as they can but it takes a minute, usually its up to the pilot/passengers to get themselves immediately clear of the aircraft if they can.
Somewhere out over the water there should Be a Jet commander main gear tire floating around ..Hopefully he didn't extend over a populated area they can do a lot of damage hitting someone Or a car ..
I don't know why there isn't any NTSB info on this. Hm, was in Belize and whoops, the wheel fell off upon takeoff. Uh, did the mechanic torque the bolts? Did he install the bolts? Still gotta give the pilot kudos for knowing it fell off at all. Maybe he didn't get all greens? I'm guessing you can see the gear if you turn around? Here's the funny part. The owner is selling it and here's a blurb from the ad: "left main Landing Gear damage. Easy repair. nice business jet thats still airworthy and has lots of hours left before Phase inspections." There's a lot more that had me crackin up. Just look up the tail number N4WG.
Too bad they don’t have reporters who know what they are talking about! I almost gagged when he said the landing gear on the front wing. What fools they hire?
Did that passenger have toilet paper hanging from his pant leg when he exited the aircraft?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like “Wait! Don’t land yet! I’m pinching a loaf!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leave it to a news station to make a well executed landing in an airplane that just so happens to be missing a main landing gear wheel. Gotta make things as though if it wasn't for this courageous pilot that no one but him could make!!!! I hate news stations make things worse then what it really is just for RATINGS!!
4:44 - you finally get your 15 minutes of fame, and you exit the plane with toilet paper stuck to your shoe. LOL
Plane in view at 2:13. The landing begins at 3:40.
Thx
Yeah, waited ... waited ..I guess there are flight delays even in an emergency.
I'm glad nobody got hurt or killed. Great landing Mr. Pilot!
For not having a good landing gear. This is a great job, congratulations, nobody hurt.
~ ~You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel~ ~
Classic comment
Haa good one.
That moment when you realize you sent the wrong guy up there to report it....
This pilot was Exceptional!! Great job - almost a perfect landing - couldn't be much better.
Very good landing congratulations to the pilot(s) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
"Oh there's no wheel, it looks like the one on the front wing" lol.
you should see LOT B777 landing with no gear, search it on youtube
I can't believe this people...so how the hell they made it into the news broadcasting 🤦♂️

lol k
It's a IAI Westwind made by Aero Commander also called a Jet Commander which is a Corporate or business jet
Terrific landing and glad everyone is safe but the reporter gets the Amazing Grasp Of The Obvious Award
Great landing- kudos to the pilot!
4:45 Toilet paper stuck to his shoe. How embarrasding.
Can you imagine if he was taking a dump when they landed?
Matt Foley The crash landing literally scared the shit out of him!
He loosened the wheel to distract from the fact that he destroyed the bathroom
Ohhh shit!!😄😄😄😄
and on white pants ? i guess the plane wasn't the only one leaving skid marks
missing a wheel, still butters the bread
Jay Kay sir go ahead and alt-f4

Parabéns pela habilidade e perícia do Piloto, conduzindo formidavelmente a aeronave. 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🇧🇷

I’ll just turn the sound off next time...
He said it had landed with no landing gear too, lol.

Fantastic filming , Bad commentary. Too much state the obvious!!
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
hahaha "There's a broken feather on the big noisy metal bird, now it's making little fires."
I believe the boy is awestruck! Anyway.....it gave the firemen a chance to air out their undies!
the "front wing"??
Was that toilet paper on his foot when he ran out of the plane? Awesome job by the pilot seeing as he was missing the front wing wheel.
Did a hell of a good job in a bad situation. Kudos, pilots.
That was a very very very smooth landing
It's a Westwind I. We always boggled at having one main wheel on each side, but two nose wheels.
Who needs weight balance anyway

Best Landing Ever on One Wheel.
I didn't know what was going on without the tool bag telling me, Thank You for the fine narration. Oh look at that red thing, called a fire truck LOL
LoL 😆 🤣 😂
Fireman walk up: you okay. Lady: can someone order me an Uber?
"Now please remember to pick up your comment card before exiting the plane!"
Definitely a great landing. However with a left main gear damaged I would have gone for the right side of the runway. Had he done that I think he could have stayed on the prepared surface.
Fred Hawk Hard to say. It appeared the right side main gear brake locked up and then the plane spun. Great job by the pilot.
The pilot is in the airplanes washroom, trying to pull the seat cushion out of his ass.
I don't know if the pilot meant to do it but the sparks from the landing gear were stopped as soon as he hit the dirt stopping flames and heat and stopping the aircraft with no more damage. I see a great landing.
Definitely didn't do that on purpose. Rule is the harder the surface the more likely you are to stay right side up.

Go land your jokes somewhere else

What plane is that? I want a plane with a FRONT WING
epic job on that landing.
Very smart pilot
Glad everyone's ok, but all could think of when I saw that gear was Ron White's comedy bit about the Sears Tire Store. "It fell off... it fell off... it fell the FU*K OFF".
Thank for the vid 🕶
Cmon a piece of cake landing to experienced pilots.
The best pilot.
How could that landing gear missing tires?
Lucky people.
The left wing may have some serious issues putting that strut into the dirt at that speed, also notice how that left Fowler flap worked, dirt flowed right over nicely. Lol. Anyway nice landing!!
That's our Favorite Aircraft. Westwind II/1124 Isreali Air Industries
VERY GOOD LANDING. MAYBE NEXT TIME A COTTER PIN ON THE NUT HOLDING THE WHEEL ON WOULD BE IN ORDER.
Looked to me like the wheel was still on but without the tire. Would have been a much more dramatic landing had there just been a gear leg to dig into the runway.

Lets see.. bill for the damage to the runway will probably "nearly" equal that of the aircraft structure.
I hope they had good insurance
wheel missing???? WFK! Someone stole the tire in the Sky??? were the tire GO??
space aliens
He flew over LA
Sean R lmfao
Could be one the stuffs made by Chinese?
Bill Williams 😂
In memory of Kenny Rogers
Ignorant commentary. Somebody please walk that reporter around a real airplane so he can be told what a jet engine looks like, the difference between wheels and tires, and exactly where everything is located ?
and that jets can be privately owned
What plane is this ? Anyone ?
It’s very good landing very great job
Another happy landing.
Interesting to hear the behind the scenes talk
westwind bizjet He had landing gear, was just missing a tire on the left main.
Uh I’m not good at telling certain kinds of planes... or reporting a story either
Any pilots on here? I need to know which one is the front wing?
I'm guessing that the "back wing" would have been the horizontal stabilizer and elevator in this tool's vocabulary.
I hope that reporter never has to change a flat tire on his car or moped.
Man do I HATE news reporters. Ya your right Ian Powell he almost sounded excited "OH look at the sparks!" (maybe it will explode) then almost disappointed and deflated "it's down." (damn it no one died). They all suck.

Exelente piloto
Comando é fera parabéns !
Love the IAI Westwind
Good job saving the bird!
clearly this announcer knows NOTHING about airplanes
Somewhere out over the water there should Be a Jet commander main gear tire floating around ..Hopefully he didn't extend over a populated area they can do a lot of damage hitting someone Or a car ..
A good landing is one you walk away from.
A great one is when you get to use the airplane again.
The plot took his bag but he was the last one out so it's fine. If you are a passenger do not take anything and just get out.
Was this filmed by a news chopper?
He should have expected the pull to the left, should have landed right of centreline. He almost kept it on the runway.
Might have continued sparking and caused a fire. Grass helped him stop

That a real pilots, emergency personnel take so long
How does one take off and not notice the wheel nuts were loose this is why pilots do pre flight inspections
"He's talking to the airport now" No shit sherlock!
What type of plane is that ?
It looks like a Westwind. The Westwind was an Israeli development of the old Aero Commander Jet Commander.
Pity the reporter was clueless.
IAI 1124 Westwind...the Jew Canoe
Take a close look every time you fly ( if posible) on the landing gear.
Very nice landing under the circumstances. Dude, had to get his bag before he exited, wonder why so important?? 😮😅
He’s the pilot, you idiot. That’s his flight plan and charts.
You’d probably go get the bag with your panties and bras.
PARABENS AOS PILOTOS EMERGENCIA BEM SUCEDIDA.
It would be interesting to know how they recovered the plane.
In this situation in Europe we have to check the plane.
