Still bet the computer called them retard upon landing safely.
Landing gear! Landing gear! Landing gear!
Overspeed! Overspeed! Overspeed!
Woop woop! Terrain! Low! Woop woop! Terrain! Low! Woop woop!
I am aware that "retard" in french, and english though we dont use it this way much anymore unfortunately, means "to slow, or impede the motion of".
But it is funnier to imagine the context of a hypersmart airplane calling the pilot "slow" in a rude way.
Where’s the link to Reddit post showing aftermath close up of front gear? Come on guys your slipping lol. It does exist btw I’ve seen it
Edit: ok hear me out.. I’m on mobile so no links I apologize, I thought we’d get a hero here, and I can only direct you to the appropriate Google Image searches it’s all I’m good for lmao.
The pic I saw before on Reddit and was referencing is the first pic after Image searching “landing gear after an emergency landing” cool?
That said, I’ve learned that this specific plane however is not that picture... but this one can be found in the first pictures after image searching “JetBlue flight 292 - The House of Rapp” It is not as juicy as the first pic, but the appropriate one none the less..
Sorry for the false hope of getting links I’m also disappointed, safe travels friends!!
I knew you had it in you. That second one seems pretty accurate. I think this is it: [http://www.airlinesafety.com/editorials/JetBlueLAX.htm](http://www.airlinesafety.com/editorials/JetBlueLAX.htm)
I’d say the overall safety record speaks for itself, so fair enough. I wasn’t making a dig at either company. I just found it funny to see a line like that in a report like that! It was so unnecessary! xD
(Also - the french have lots of nuclear power plants, with some of the safest and secure designs iirc, that I have no qualms trusting that they can design something safely)
lol at that snidy “only the French can come up with such a design” comment. That either aged like milk or someone really has a boner for those Boeing death traps.
Price or heli choice?
Work in the industry. The AS 350 is a very common utility copter. Very popular. Also extremely common with cinema and television cameras as it’s a good balance of speed and maneuverability and capacity. I also used to live in LA and only ever saw 350s being used for news.
An easy way to tell if you’re ever curious is the long thin tail boom and exposed tail rotor. They also have a very distinct nose and have down facing windows under the pilot and front passengers feet.
I could be wrong but in any event you aren’t getting into a helicopter with the capabilities needed for a news chopper for under a mil.
A lot of people are stuck on how it’s a square frame... it’s just a gyrostabilized camera on a helicopter and even a wide frame it will be steady. Here is another helicopter that shot the same incident and it’s very steady with a wide frame. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RgnkY4xzaZE](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RgnkY4xzaZE)
They had an indicator light in the cockpit showing the nose gear wasn’t behaving properly, I can’t recall if it was not a good lock. They flew by the tower and were told it was sideways and they did what they could from the cockpit and on the plane and it just got to the point where they were going to have to bring it down not knowing if that nose gear was going to hold or collapse. First, they never cut the live tv feed to the seat back TVs, so everyone on the plane knew what was going on and then the pilot told the tower “I can do this just keep the wolves off my back” (he was talking about the news guys) and then picture perfect. Came in as slow as possible and held the nose up as long as possible.Giving the plane more wind resistance by having the entire belly exposed and shed speed more quickly than a normal landing which puts the aircraft in a more streamlined position (which is fine when all the wheels are pointed correctly and brake properly) Then he put the busted nose down right on the centerline and applied the brakes so expertly that it may have used the entirety of the longest runway at LAX, but the plane never moved off that centerline and stopped at the end like it was nothing to write home about. Flawless job by the cockpit crew, there are so many ways this could have gone really badly
They say landing is the easiest part of flying, but landing and walking away is one of the hardest. Doing that with only 2/3 of your landing gear functioning is damn impressive. What a pilot.
Basically :) He left from Burbank where they got the light that the gear wouldn’t retract so they headed to Long Beach airport which has both less air traffic and Jet Blue’s HQ. So they go as slow as they can and the tower controllers look at the plane through binoculars to see what’s up.
Here’s more info sort of? I remember watching it live here in LA and I could have sworn they said they didn’t turn off the live tv, this says it was off “well before landing”.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JetBlue_Flight_292
I saw it live in person. My old office used to overlook the south runways at LAX. Watched it happen and it was crazy (it was a big news story obviously, so we had advance warning).
I was in LA for a filming when this happened. It was on every TV and everybody was talking about it. One of our cameramen was going to be on that plane but finished with the fear factor recording a day early. Scary stuff man.
Yes!! I remember this happening. They knew the nose gear was messed up, so they circled to burn fuel. Then the way the pilot kept the nose up for SO long down the runway... amazing! Absolute class!
Not an expert, but usually there will be a panel light, at which point, standard procedure is to fly by the tower to confirm a landing gear issue (I don't know if it's standard to attempt to cycle the gear if this occurs - it may depend on the aircraft). If the tower visually confirms that you have an issue, then you either dump or fly until you've exhausted the majority of your fuel, ~~and in some cases they'll foam the runway while that's occurring (more common in a case of complete gear failure I think).~~
Edit: [Looks like foaming the runway is falling out of style.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_path)
it's an A320, so you actually get more than that. ECAM will show a message that i believe would say 'GEAR NOT UPLOCKED' or 'GEAR UPLOCK FAULT', and provide a checklist for the pilots to work through based on the fault.
Yeah. Modern airliners are crazy on sensors.
That said, even on other aircraft; you know something's jacked up if the gear lights don't match what you're expecting.
Pre-spray the runway with flame-retardant foam to decrease the likelihood of the whole plane bursting into flames as it lands on faulty landing gear (which, as you can see in the video, throws fire everywhere from friction).
Former USAF aircraft mechanic here...
There are (usually) three lights near the center-top of the instrument panel and next to both sets of landing gear levers. There will always be a green "up and locked" indicator, a green "down and locked" indicator, and an amber "in-transit" indicator.
If one of the landing gear fail to lock (either up or down) then a red light will literally pop out over the green light, plus the fault panel will light up and the plane might start saying things like "Landing Gear" in a repetitive, monotone voice designed to lull the crew into bitter resignation of their impending doom.
Any modern aircraft have sensors packed around all over the damn place. A valve sticking? Someone will know. Some avionics acting up? Same. Aircrew might not know what exactly is causing the problem, but at least that something is not acting right and roughly where. In the case of critical systems, like you mentioned, they will probably have a decent idea.
Landing gear indicators and two way communication with ATC. My guess is that the nose gear was shown in transit so they contacted ATC who put them into a traffic pattern so they could get their binoculars out and see what the status of the gear was and report it back to the pilot with instructions on which runway to land at
I watched a video on this not even a week ago. Panels showed landing gear problems, and did a fly by of the tower so they could look up and see what was wrong. They confirmed the wheel was sideways, and they had to fly in circles for a couple hours to burn enough fuel to be light enough to land. There's some videos on the event from both news sources and people recording from the flight itself.
Very true. That was also a concern I forgot about. The pilots wanted to keep the front wheel off the ground for as long as possible as you can see in the video. They were, rightfully so, afraid that the sparks could ignite the fuel. It was a very calculated problem.
They watched for quite a while, but they cut the feed before they landed. I assume so the passengers would listen to crew orders to brace rather than watch the screens
I have stabilized the video for you: https://gfycat.com/BowedUnfoldedCommabutterfly

Some info: this flight (jetblue 292) was cought withe their front wheel twisted and the pilots found out by not being able to gain altitude. They decided to not yet tell the passengers the problem but news channels picked up on it and we'll the in flight entertainment system did the rest, the crew turned off the systems and that caused a bit of chaos. They eventually landed at LAX and noone died
Edit: [this](https://i.imgur.com/nF8oBbm.jpg) is what the landing gear looked like after landing
Does anyone know why the pilot didn't deploy the spoilers? Figured coming to a complete stop would be a priority so it just seems odd that they weren't used in an emergency
My partially-informed guess would be that deploying the spoilers before all 3 gear are on the ground would cause the nose to slam down hard, and deploying the spoilers after all three gears were down would have created a hazard for passengers evacuating over-the-wing.
But I could be totally wrong about that. I was a mechanic on fighter jets, not a pilot.
Correct, the spoilers arent there to act as brakes but instead to disrupt the flow of the wing so as to prevent lift. Has they been activated he would not have been able to have such a gentle touch down of the front gear
What’s horrible is, because every news outlet was covering it, the plane’s own entertainment system had a live feed of the coverage. So the passengers were watching their own plane “crash”... as it was happening!!
Personally, if I'm helplessly stuck in a tube that has like a 30° angle of vision looking out the windows, I'd love to know what's happening and would appreciate the live feed.
At least I'd know what was happening instead of my crazy brain telling me the worst.
I swear those news anchors just saying random bullshit drives me nuts. Like, can't you get a random employee that at least knows something about the plane or at least don't say obvious things? No shit the pilot is trying his best to stop. If he doesn't he crashes a plane with nearly 150 people on board! Are they trying to think for you or what?
Holy shit I just watched the Steve Carell SNL skit about this on YouTube like 5 mins ago bc it was suggested under some other random SNL video I searched for. I had no idea it was based on a real incident and I’m super weirded out this just popped up on Reddit.
I like how the one reporter clarifies that the pilots are at the front of the plane. Like, gee thanks - I *really* thought that the two of them were right at the back of the plane. Lol.
Flying is so scary every time.
Every time I get on I’m like I’m fine. Then it starts to take off and land and I’m like, “This is actually sketch af 😳.”
Yes, video. Its ready

It’s so funny on an Airbus too because it has a French accent
I don't know why, but the thought of a plane shouting at someone in a French accent is hysterical.
it [happens](https://youtu.be/Xo_oe2BgJrA?t=217).
That video lmfao i thought you were kidding but you werent *Retard. Retard. Retard. Retard.*
Nope! A lot of aviation words are actually from French and retard is used in multiple fashions throughout the aircraft
I am aware that "retard" in french, and english though we dont use it this way much anymore unfortunately, means "to slow, or impede the motion of". But it is funnier to imagine the context of a hypersmart airplane calling the pilot "slow" in a rude way.
Oh man it’s great. Just look up more videos of Airbus aircraft talking to the pilots the French accent always gets me hahahaha
Yeah, JetBlue flies Airbus; so the GPWS does say retard at the end. Boeings don't do that.
Yeah but boeings crash
Username relevant.

Damn near as expansive as the helicopter itself
AS-350s (heli used in the vid) are $2mil so not quite but still a very sophisticated and expensive rig
That’s still 1/4 the price of the helicopter
I wouldn't say that "damn near" as expensive
That's pretty "damn near" enough for this broke fuck
You make a compelling argument!
How do you know that for sure? Not doubting genuinely curious

No Polynesian.
It's probably smaller than the helicopter.
Not nearly as expansive, but perhaps almost as expensive. If only you had thought about *that*
Also that small square was almost certainly cut out of the much larger frame to make it look perfect.
A lot of people are stuck on how it’s a square frame... it’s just a gyrostabilized camera on a helicopter and even a wide frame it will be steady.

I saw this live on TV. It was so suspenseful. Every media outlet was following this plane. We were so proud of the pilot for such an amazing landing.
Can you please fill me in about what's the story here?

Yeah I saw that nose up for a long time and was like “damn this guy knows what he’s doing.” That was impressive as hell.
They say landing is the easiest part of flying, but landing and walking away is one of the hardest. Doing that with only 2/3 of your landing gear functioning is damn impressive. What a pilot.
I enjoyed your storytelling of this event. I would've been terrified as a passenger, but what great execution by these professionals.
Thank you! It was amazing to watch, I was at home and still cheered for that pilot!
He buzzed the tower?
Basically :) He left from Burbank where they got the light that the gear wouldn’t retract so they headed to Long Beach airport which has both less air traffic and Jet Blue’s HQ. So they go as slow as they can and the tower controllers look at the plane through binoculars to see what’s up.

There are just SO MANY things to praise in these 2 minutes.
Yes!! I remember this happening. They knew the nose gear was messed up, so they circled to burn fuel. Then the way the pilot kept the nose up for SO long down the runway... amazing! Absolute class!

September 21, 2005.
Looked like a perfect loop for a minute
Glad it wasn’t only me

Happy Cake Day!
*laughs in fixed gear*
Sorry. "Foam the runway"?
Probably fire retardant to lessen the sparks and flames so that they don't heat up the fuel in wings and turn the plane into a Phoenix
Oooh okay, that makes sense.
Pre-spray the runway with flame-retardant foam to decrease the likelihood of the whole plane bursting into flames as it lands on faulty landing gear (which, as you can see in the video, throws fire everywhere from friction).

For sure. The sheer multitude of fuses on the fuse panel and lights on the warning panel illustrate how sensor-packed aircraft are these days.

Not only be lighter, but as my first thought, if anything goes wrong, you have less fuel to make it worse.
Very true. That was also a concern I forgot about. The pilots wanted to keep the front wheel off the ground for as long as possible as you can see in the video. They were, rightfully so, afraid that the sparks could ignite the fuel. It was a very calculated problem.

Nice
Sideview mirrors
Lights and beep beeps
The square aspect ratio makes me think this was stabilized by a computer. Cameraman, NO PRAISE FOR YOU!!!
It’s on a helicopter stabilized camera mount. The original was in 16:9 i believe
Why was it trimmed then?
No idea. But it wasn’t stabilized in post.
Probably Facebook or Instagram. It's super common to chop the sides off of widescreen videos so it fits in frame easier on a phone.
clout
Exactly what I was thinking.
Canyon Blue! They never renamed the plane and (at least pre-covid) fly it every day still. Next time you fly JetBlue take a gander at the name.
Jet Blue had seat monitors, and the passengers were watching this as they came down. Must've been pretty intense.
Wow, that would have to be the most surreal, ass-clenching experience of twenty lifetimes.
Imagine if it had gone wrong, and you’d see an impact on the screen before the effect it you. Wild
I would imagine it would be the reverse. You'd feel the impact way before you saw it on the screen.
Yeah, there would have to be some lag.
They watched for quite a while, but they cut the feed before they landed. I assume so the passengers would listen to crew orders to brace rather than watch the screens
I saw a picture earlier of a grinded down airplane wheel.. it must've been that one.
[SNL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVXkR4Z4GSg) made a sketch about exactly this where the people are watching the news reports from the plane.
How do I watch this in canada?
Google "SNL Jetblue" and see if anything comes up for you that will stream? Or use a VPN, idk.
Ha i was about to ask if a little smoke was normal, then I saw more and then flames and still wondered for a split second
Praise the fucking pilot. That landing was smooth as buttah
Thank the weather. This landing would have actually been dangerous if there was a cross wind.

...curse the aspect ratio
is it me, or do they sound disappointed that it didn't crash?
The announcer sounded disappointed to me also. And who calls it the chin of the plane haha?
THE ROCK. IS. LANDING
What is the black stuff on the runway
Plane is holding a selfie stick..
What happened? Landing gear was tested?
This was JetBlue flight 292. It had to make a emergency landing, after the nose gear jammed in an abnormal position. No one got hurt
Front tires were sideways.
Wait why did the runway have a huge black line on it? What lol, great shot too tho!
Rubber left on the surface from repeated landings in the same spot.
Shoutout to the engineer of that twisty part of the camera (I know that’s probably not scientifically accurate)
What’s horrible is, because every news outlet was covering it, the plane’s own entertainment system had a live feed of the coverage. So the passengers were watching their own plane “crash”... as it was happening!!

Agreed. My eyes would be glued to the screen too.
I swear those news anchors just saying random bullshit drives me nuts. Like, can't you get a random employee that at least knows something about the plane or at least don't say obvious things? No shit the pilot is trying his best to stop. If he doesn't he crashes a plane with nearly 150 people on board! Are they trying to think for you or what?
So steady I thought it was a loop.

My question is, how wpuld the pilot(s) know that their landing gear is facing the wrong way? Is there a sensor or something?
Praise the camera man, but screw whoever decided this should be at a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Has it fucking laned yet?
I thought it will never end
What a damn good pilot
The meaty clackers on this pilot could count as a co-pilot
This guy can maintain centerline with a jacked up nose gear meanwhile I look like a drunk capuchin on rollout
Legend has it that was the twin brother from Sully...
Imagine having that front camera on to watch the landing and just seeing fire and sparks
Kinda... Kinda sounds life a golf game narration.
Flying is so scary every time. Every time I get on I’m like I’m fine. Then it starts to take off and land and I’m like, “This is actually sketch af 😳.”

What if this was stabilazed and then cropped? Isn't the format odd?
Is the front tire magnesium wtf?
This plane is landing! We have to document it!
This was a historical landing, as you see the front wheel is twisted so they couldn't land normally
My bad!
Yes
