LANDING WITH ABNORMAL LANDING GEAR CONFIGURATION

CAUTION

Land with center gear retracted and as many other gear extended as possible.

NOTES

This procedure is based on the assumption that all methods to extend the landing gear have been unsuccessful.
If a main gear is partially or fully retracted, consideration should be given to selecting the widest runway available for landing due to the possibility of directional control difficulties.
Fly a power on approach on V_APP, carrying power to touchdown, if required, so as to contact the runway as gently as possible.
Complete normal descent and approach checklist and prepare for evacuation at the appropriate time.
All slide rafts will be usable with aircraft stopped in any failed landing gear configuration.

1. CABIN CREW - INFORM

Call (Sr.) purser to prepare cabin for an emergency landing. Specify time available and expected aircraft attitude after landing.

2. PASSENGERS - INFORM

Inform passengers of the situation.

3. FUEL QUANTITY - REDUCE

Reduce the fuel quantity onboard.

4. APU START / STOP SWITCH - VERIFY OFF

VERIFY APU Start / Stop Switch is set to the OFF position.

Maintain pitch attitude of 6° to 8° while holding wings level until nearly all lateral control is used.

NOTE

This will be the minimum practical speed to lower wing to the ground (while maintaining pitch attitude).

Promptly lower nosewheels to the runway.

After wing is on ground (pod contacts runway), extend ground spoilers to aid in deceleration.

Do not use reverse thrust on engine 2, or on the side with the abnormal gear.

14. ASSOCIATED FUEL SWITCH - OFF

Set the associated fuel switch to the OFF position.

Maintain directional control by using opposite engine reverse thrust, brakes, and nosewheel steering.
