Author's remark: | 'Barbarella' close to touchdown onto Rwy08R at EGKK. On the 29th of December 2014 the aircraft was subject to an Air Accident Investigation. The aircraft was outbound to Las Vegas when low pressure warnings in landing gear 4 were noted in the cab and a return to EGKK was made. As the landing gear extended during the approach to EGKK the right wing landing gear struck the gear door preventing the gear leg from fully deploying. A non-normal landing was successful completed. It was found that the retract actuator had been incorrectly installed ! all on board were safe. |
