Canoehead Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Love to be a fly on the wall when the "Gear Down" call was made... (assuming that's when it was discovered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(assuming that's when it was discovered). Shnoot happens. Years ago, empty DH8 departing YSJ to YQM. "Let's see what this puppy can do!" Full power before brake release, rotation on speed, V2+10 climb. We weren't impressed by our "puppy." Not a minute after takeoff, tower (they had a tower then) asks if we have a problem. We each look at each other and respond "Negative." "Contact departure." On descent into YQM, high downwind for RW29, I call for "Landing gear down." Ooops.....

Seeker Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Even better; "Gun's not loaded. See?" Before deciding to prove this fact by pointing the gun at his own face and pulling the trigger - died instantly since the gun actually was loaded. Johnny Ace - 1954.

Had a caution or warning light distract us just as we got airborne. Going through about 11,000' I commented to my captain about how "this thing is really climbing like a dog tod...... oh crap...... positive rate...."

Bottom line in this business? When you KNOW you've screwed up, first fix it, then "fall on your sword" to your boss. You'll NEVER get into trouble when you do. IF YOU DO??? You really don't want to be working there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Actually, I am impressed that some very senior and experienced pilots on here admitted to the same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
