Breathtaking Moments at Istanbul Airport: FedEx plane LANDS WITHOUT NOSE WHEEL!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2024
- On May 8, 2024, a FedEx Federal Express Boeing 767-300 freighter, registration N110FE performing flight FX-6238 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Istanbul (Turkey), was on final approach to Istanbul's runway 16R when the crew initiated a go-around from about 1800 feet MSL due to an unsafe indication for the nose gear. The aircraft performed a low approach to runway 16R about 25 minutes later, positioned for another approach to runway 16R, and landed without nose gear on runway 16R at about 08:17L (05:17Z) about 40 minutes after the first go around. There were no injuries.

This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations.
To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

Dang that ARFF team was on top of things. Nice work by the PF to put that down as best as they could and also ATC to get them in. Great effort all around by a highly trained and skilled group of professionals.
Quick response from the airport fire service!
Amazingly quick
18 seconds from full stop until protected egress route...
Definetely
Picture perfect landing in that scenario. Well done captains.
Great ARFF response. Protected egress route within 18 seconds.... WTG...
Kudos to pilots and atc 👏🏼
Great professional handling on all sides under unfortunate circumstances. Glad that no injuries or worse occurred.
The landing gear on 767's is normally operated by center system hydraulics. In the event of a failure of the hydraulics or other problem, a backup electrical system can be employed that uses electric motors to release the uplocks and allows the gear to free fall into the down and locked position.
Boeing landing gear levers have three positions: Up, Down, and Off. In flight, after takeoff, when the gear are up the landing gear handle is moved to the middle "Off" position, which removes hydraulic pressure from the system. This allows the gear to free fall in the event of use of the backup system. It also saves wear and tear on the various hydraulic units associated with the landing gear system.
This backup system does not have the ability to close landing gear doors. That is why you see the main gear doors hanging down under the center of the fuselage; They tried to put the nose gear down with the backup as per the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH), but this did not work. Obviously the nose gear was jammed in the up position.
As you see in this video, the plane simply lands on its nose. This could cause a fire, but CFR was on the scene immediately and I suspect there was minor damage. They will have the plane flying again soon.
Nice work guys!
I remember seeing a 737 have a nose gear collapse on landing, that did ruin the entire avionics bay. Considering it was a Classic from memory, that was enough for a write-off.
Thankfully not the situation here, I would also assume the damage to be way less indeed, specially since no fire.
No hand crank on the gear?
@@robertmorgan2145 This isn't a 727.....
👍 Totally cool!
@@Kalvinjj Fedex 767's are new build airframes, so they will do an engineering study and fix the deformed parts. Airliners are riveted together, so it is easy to drill out rivets and replace individual metal panels. When they design airliners, they think about this eventuality so the area around the nose gear is built extra strong to handle something like this.
Contrary to contemporary belief....Boeing does indeed build a very good airplane.
The nose gear partially extended. About 10 inches below the wheel well. It appears that the gear did jam.
Thanks for everyone participate in this matter. This is called" PROFESSIONAL".
That airport fire response team, incredibly quick.
I’m definitely flying FedEx in the future
@@zippitydoohdangtwang yep
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Any landing you can walk away from is a great landing! Congrats to the pilots!
Many years ago, when my wife was a stewardess,, she had a similar situation with the nose wheel light still shining red on the instrument panel.
London Gatwick ATC confirmed the nose wheel appeared to be down on the fly past but they were diverted to what was then known as RAF Manston in east Kent - an airfield with the longest runway in the UK - for an emergency landing. It was also the RAF school for training airfield firefighters.
Manston ATC also confirmed the nose wheel appeared to be down but implemented full crash deployment and foamed the runway.
Loose luggage was stowed, gash bags stuffed into the toilets and the passengers instructed to adopt the brace position.
As she sat in a crew jump seat she watched the crash tenders, strategically positioned alongside the runway, peel in and chase the airliner as it landed.
The nose wheel WAS locked after all but they had to evacuate the aircraft using the slides.
Turned out it was a faulty bulb - surely there ought to be a fail-safe second bulb on these things?
Afterwards I asked her if she'd been scared and she said her mind was concentrated on whether or not she'd kissed me goodbye that morning.
40 years ago but I still get a morning kiss with my coffee!
Fire service great quick job congrats well done
Amazing landing, fire and rescue services BRAVO.
Turkish fire dudes ... "hey! I wanna go". 😂
Nice job by all, great landing, and ARFF was quick and accurate with the foam. Looking forward to Keoni and Blanco lirio's breakdowns.
Fire service guys were right there as the plane stopped.
Great flying, amazing old boeing 767 fuselages don't crack, peel, or have gaps!....Al Scott
Great work at Istanbul! Luckily, this did not occur at Bermuda...yikes!
Yup! Props to Turkey, that along with Japan, is the country with most abandoned and neglected cats and dogs on Earth!
@@sarahbasto6520uhm stray yes but not neglected people feed them daily
@@sarahbasto6520 from everything I've seen, people care for their street cats in Turkey
Turkey is 99% Muslim. Muslim faith has issues with body modification and surgery which to my understanding, can extend to pets/animals.
The usual means to sterilize animals (gonadectomy/full spay/neuter) may go against that at least in some groups. May depend on what research they're looking at, as to my understanding the point is to do no harm and whether gonadectomy does harm is complicated particularly with the lack of studies in cats on bad side effects seen in other species (anxiety, depression for example ). Multiple long term studies for dogs finding increased anxious behavior tho, and has been connected to several health concerns (tho also decreases some health concerns).
Tubal ligation/vastecomy could be more allowed, but it may not be, and may not be financially accessible, which is likely the other major barrier.
But anyhow, they do appear to care for their street animals.
@@hefoxedsometimes people’s good heart and care for animals isn’t fueled by religion. I know many atheists and people that simply don’t think about religion care so much for animals. Cats and dogs in Turkiye. So please stop associating everything with religion, we are extremely tired of this.
Excellent! Well done! Congrats to the pilots!
I'm proud to say I've been close friends with the pilot who landed that plane for almost 40 years. He's my brother's best friend and is an incredible pilot.
If you’re going to have a gear problem, that’s the right one to have as it’s like a normal landing as the main gear touches the runway you just ease it down. No engine damage or wing damage that may cause any fires from fuel leaks. Well done.
Those ARFF guys wasted no time! Obviously with a situation like that they were on high alert already
Duh, they were standing by the runway, it wasn’t a secret that they were coming with a problem
WOW! What a great response from the fire crew!
Great job!
Ahhh back in a knowledgeable chat (mostly) with people who don't spout crap about this incident 😊
Just think of the Boeing 767 of the airline LOT 12 years ago. Also a landing without the entire landing gear at the airport in Warsaw.
Butter!🔥
I cant believe not exist "unstuck" command..
And I still got my package on time!
Betcha that made a lotta noise! 😊
An hydraulic failure was clearly involved as the main gear doors remained open, they usually close after gear extension. No word if they tried the emergency electrical gear extension. They performed a great landing considering the issue.
The main gear doors do not close after an alternate gear extension attempt. I’d guess they attempted normal extension, then alternate, both failed and they landed.
First to saying “Boeing!” I even feel like a moron making a sarcastic comment about an old 767…
767’s are great planes. I flew them for 28 years and 18,000 hours. Only had a few situations-all ended well.
This one was manufactured in 2014
Dutch newspapers and websites were all sending push notifications starting with "Once again a Boeing..." 😮
@@gokmachine CNN in US captioned it as Boeing Cargo Plane Lands with No Front Wheel. Gotta love it.
Yep, top hole landing. Well done.
Scary stuff #TEAMFEDEX
Pilots fighting Boeing and winning
The 767 was built in Washington BEFORE disaster set in.
Wouldn't grass/sand emergency runways avoid sparks and risks of explosion?
I thought these planes have a way to manually lower the gear. Can someone please verify or deny?
Yes, but it just uses gravity I believe. So there was obviously something holding it in place.
Would they have used reverse thrusters here or just brakes?
They had to shut down all the fuel pumps to the engines on the final approach so I highly doubt they used reverse thrusters
just put a fat short stuby backup front wheel where nose touches the ground that can be deployed in emergency, cant be that expensive and it would lower chances of sparks and big crash. i know i know too much trouble
Don’t think it is Yesilkoy.
It is the new airport
The Frequency name is Yesilkoy. It's called like that.
Cars have backup cameras. No cameras for pilots? Manual lowering of gear? Idiocy.
Can't help thinking how analogous and sad that sequence at the end of the video is for Boeing with that 767 falling flat on its face
I'm not sending my package if it's going to be on a Boeing.
Not a big deal actually.
How’s that not a big deal?
@@DoolittleSailing It's just not. A little bone-jarring and noisy, but not really life threatening.
@@northmaineguy5896correct
@@DoolittleSailingThe plane will track straight ahead. They perform a soft field landing technique which holds the nose up as long as possible. Once the nose hits sparks no fuel nearby the nose so basically coming to a halt quickly as your GS is less.
May the world rejoice that the Microsoft Flight Simulator teenagers have delivered their solemn verdict
If a $20000 Tesla has 10 cameras why doesn't a jetliner so they can observe their landing gear and engines. Ridiculous
you're thinking logically.... stop that right this minute young'n....
Yeah, pipe down you're making too much sense
Where can I get a brand new Tesla for 20k?
To much weight…
Actually some new planes already have this function. But some older planes don’t have it and don’t really need it because there are a plenty of other systems that can notify the pilot about the status of let’s say the landing gear and other stuff.
The happy hosers there are just like here. Everyone likes to spray!
What
You mean adding retardant under the plane that just generated a bunch of heat?
Errrrrrrrr...is that not their job??????🙄Spray as soon as they are in range?
They sprayed for about a minute on the nose of a plane that had just slid without a nosegear on a runway for ten seconds. What would you have wanted them to do?
If I was one of the flight crew, I’d certainly be wanting them to put the wet stuff on the red stuff, at least to ensure the under side of the aircraft wasn’t on fire. Great job by the ARFF crews in my opinion.
Again I have 8 cameras around my SUV. I get a 360 View.
And millions of dollars worth of plane has to beg control tower to see if nose gear is down? Damn it, install cams.
That's what you get in an airframe that has been produced since 1982.
Boeing ? No way.
Intelligent comment? No way.
Такое впечатление, что пожарники не совсем трезвые были
At least they didn't have to land in Constantinople!
Where the f is that?
@@orno6621 The Historic name of Istanbul.
Since 1453 is Istanbul
Funny how major airlines are having major mechanical issues..... Give me a DEI count!
Check the stats and come back to us. Using bias confirmation and anecdotal evidence is being a bit pathetic.
Unfortunately the entire airline industry is suffering from DEI hiring, lazy younger generation, poor training, poor maintenance and understaffing.
A Boeing, hhhmmmmm....
Stoopid comment! Do you have a brain? Plane in service since November 2014; sheesh!
767s. Built when Boeing still put engineering before corner cutting.
pretty much the last of that era, unfortunately. :(
Intelligent comment? No way.
Oh geez. We got another one that doesn't understand how planes work. Or maintenance. Or years of service.
I wonder if an AI pilot could land it using 100% of the elevators and drop the nose the last inch without scratching the paint?
You'd have to train it first and would be hard in any condition regardless.
The wind would need to be strong. After a certain speed the nose will drop.
It'd be better for to scrape than a straight drop as that could snap the plane.
The nose will only stay up as long as the elevator has some authority. There's a lot of weight in front of the wheels pushing it down.
🤦♂️
That’s not aerodynamically and physically possible. So, no
its impossible but maybe with very high headwind, they could keep the nose up for a bit longer.
This is getting out of hand, Boeing really need to get their shiitake back together....😜
Wrong! The maintenance folks for this Boeing aircraft need to het THEIR shit together. You are doing the equivalent of blaming Glock for a guy murdering someone.
That's such a lame comment you should be ashamed! Popular these days to pile on Boeing, but the aircraft is 9½ years old. First flight November 2014. So, your 10 years old car doesn't start one morning; is that Nissan's fault? Or yours? Or "sometimes shit breaks!"? Wash your mouth out with soap!
agreed, their problems are mushrooming....
Another Boeing Aircraft bites the dust.
