@polmed
For me jumbo jet means a common name for large jet airliners . I didnt take this name out of nowhere but from the media which uses such term .

More proof you know nothing about aviation.

It means you know nothing just take a look at these sites , maybe you will learn something :

A wide-body aircraft is a large airliner with two passenger aisles, also known as a widebody aircraft[1][2] or twin-aisle aircraft.[3] The typical fuselage diameter is 5 to 6 m (16 to 20 ft).[4] In the typical wide-body economy cabin, passengers are seated seven to ten abreast,[5] allowing a total capacity of 200 to 850[6] passengers. The largest wide-body aircraft are over 6 m (20 ft) wide,[7] and can accommodate up to eleven passengers abreast in high-density configurations.

By comparison, a traditional narrow-body airliner has a diameter of 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft), with a single aisle,[3][8] and seats between two and six people abreast.[9]

Wide-body aircraft were originally designed for a combination of efficiency and passenger comfort. However, airlines quickly gave in to economic factors, and reduced the extra passenger space in order to maximize revenue and profits.[10]

Wide-body aircraft are also used for the transport of commercial freight and cargo[11] and other special uses, described further below.
Wide-body aircraft, in particular the 747, are often referred to as jumbo jets due to their very large size.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-body_aircraft

Jumbo jets are fixed-wing aircraft that has a wide body design. The Boeing 747 is a classic example.

Now you may apologize me for your very unwise comments about me .

so for once i agree with polmed.

Thank you for this answer ,it will cut the trolling .

Because, for some here , my posts are useless . Whatever I say PWEI and his pack will always be in opposition .

But that`s fine , you don`t have to agree with me . But I don`t see the point for trolling on and on .

This wasn't a gliding landing, in my humble opinion, since the engines were fully operational.

I explained that I have never claimed that 767 landing was gliding landing and he did not understand my comment because he ididn`t read it carefully all my comments .

But this poster replied _

The most stupid thing I've ever heard on this forum. And you claim to come from an aviation family?! Give me a break, will you? And while you are at it ... give us all a break.

Thats an example of internet discussion , completely unsubstantial replies not connected with the problem and of course containing personal insults .

This is the proof you are the troll on this forum .

Where did I state I was an expert . Your comment is unsubstantial .

PWEI - I repeat again my question which you may answer if you wish , was there any similar landing like this one in the history of aviation ?

Do you think I am consulting everything with my father ,the answer is no , I am working at my office now . My daddy is at his home .

Don`t bring personal comments , any more PWEI .

previous crashes at Warsaw

What the hell are you talking about ? What crashes are you talking about ? There were just 3 .

According to the Polish investigatory commission, the cause of the crash was the disintegration of an engine shaft due to faulty bearings inside the number 2 engine, which seized, causing extensive heat. This in turn caused the consequent damage to engine number 1 (and its fire), rapid decompression of the hull, a fire in the cargo hold (which was not detected due to a damaged fire alarm system sensor)[citation needed], as well as the loss of elevator controls and progressive electrical failure.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOT_Flight_5055

Among the 87 fatalities were Polish singer Anna Jantar, American ethnomusicologist Alan P. Merriam, six Polish students returning home from an AIESEC conference in New York and a contingent of the amateur U.S. boxing team.

As for your claim that no pilot has ever been so skilled in the past:

Don`t distort my posts , I asked about similar cases in my post .

From what you posted there is no similar case of landing without the landing gear .

It doesnt matter how you name an aircraft ,everybody knows what I meant . Both 747 and 767 are wide body aircrafts with similar capacity 747 - 366 seats and with 767 depending on the model 181 - 375 seats .

As of August 2011, the 767 had received 1,057 orders from 71 customers, of which 1,007 had been delivered, and 837 were in service. The most popular variant is the 767-300ER, with 552 delivered, and Delta Air Lines is the largest operator, with 94 aircraft. Competitors have included the Airbus A300, A310, and A330-200, while a successor, the 787 Dreamliner, entered service in October 2011.

Oh, behave, to lots of people,especially I imagine people with english as a second language "jumbo jet" is nothing more than the "Hoover" of the large jet airliner world......

For me jumbo jet means a common name for large jet airliners . I didnt take this name out of nowhere but from the media which uses such term .

I asked in post nb 109

But for a jumbo jet like 767 landing without landing gear I think it was the first time in history . Can you find any other similar case?

Why are you claiming that I lied without checking at first all my posts ?

It was just a ***** to slow the aeroplane down ... ;).

You have to read all my post before you answer on me stating that I claimed that that was a gliding landing .

I did not claim in any post it was a gliding landing .

One poster wanted to hear a comment about that Hudson river landing in comparison to that 767 landing without a gear landing . So I posted a link to a site in which there was a list with similar to Hudson river gliding landing . Then I asked if someone could find any case of jumbo jet landing without the landing gear .

So , now you may apologise me for your mistake .

And it came from the back of the aeroplane, by the way.

They should have come from the back , as they chase the plane from the moment the plane passes them and reaches the begining of the tarmac . Then they follow the flying plane as fast as they can . That was explained by the ground emergency units director in one of the TV programs .

how do you compare the Hudson river landing with this one? Comparable

There were many landings called gliding landing :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airline_flights_that_required_gliding

As you can see some of them were successful some were not .

But for a jumbo jet like 767 landing without landing gear I think it was the first time in history . Can you find any other similar case?

Watching the video did anybody else think it took the fire service ages to reach the plane?

Not at all . Where do you think they should stand and wait ? In the middle of the tarmac ? No, they stand at the end . When the plane passes them , they start the engines and they rush as fast as they can . The Warsaw airport is equipped with state of the art fire trucks that have the same acceleration as cars . They were at the plane in seconds , before the evacuation started .

With a gear-up landing (or ditching in the ocean) it's critical to keep the wings perfectly level for as long as possible, which they did.

No need for guessing , it is widely presented by the Polish media .

First : the purpose to fly over Warsaw for 1 hour was to make sure that the cockpit lamps didn`t mislead the pilot , that`s why the two F16 were sent from the air base in Lask near Lodz to confirm failure of landing gear , to allow the capitan to try using manual gears and gravity to open the landing gear and also to give the time for landing preparation for emergency units in case of not successful landing and at last to combust the fuel ( 767 had 7 tones of fuel at Newark , 4 tones were combusted during the flight , so the plane was not empty , 3 tones of fuel were still in the tank.

The planes is not alowed to dump any fuel , it can only be done in special zones . But anyway the fuel doesn`t reach the ground if its ejected , because it gets evaporated in the air.

Second : the whole action was successful because it was not a result of chance or luck, but was the result of professionalism of all departments that have demonstrated their professionalism in every way. It showed that we have the best pilots in the world, professionally actiing ground services and the latest of technology ground equipment. The airport has got CAT II ILS system - which means the best.

Now it is the highest time to stop playing blaming game of polish pilot for the Smoleńsk disaster , if the same conditions of the airport infrastructure were given to him he would land safely. .

You see , sometimes just one badly selected word spoils all your good efforts .

You just started by finding someone to blame . That was your mistake and that`s why I commented the way I did . In my opinion it is too early to formuleate any conculusions at this stage .

I have got nothing against you and your skills as a pilot .

You would think she would make it a bit less obvious, but no :)

Oh boy , I did it for other reasons . If it was just to hide me identity from PF posters I wouldnt post my pictures , Sherlock .

BTW it has been just said that the maintenance was performed by the american staff in Newark . So , blaming Polish stuff is a wrong path from now on. The standard procedure requires the technical check up every 4 years . In this plane it was done in March 2011 .

nope,the first thing a Dr would do is call on his years of experience then review the patients health history.....

Examining of a patient consist of many things which I didn`t mention , just because it is not the thread`s subject .

And if you mention one more time Moania I will ask for your suspention .

It is so stupid of you that every time you respond to my posts you refer to me as Moania and pull out byplays.

old duck.....skysoulmate did nothing but praise the flight crew ffs......

The old duck tried to speculate on something he has no clue , even though he is a pilot . Why ? because he is not an engineer , he knows how to fly a plane , but he has got no idea about the plane construction , besides some general information the pilot should have .

No one in Poland formalates any conclusive opinions . TVN 24 invites many experts to the studio and no one speculates on anything .

So far they say that there was a failure of two systems . What is interesting is the fact that it happens rarely that the emergency system also failed .

You see , the first thing the doctor would do is to examine the patient if he is alive , if he is dead then the pathologist is the one who examines the body and issues the autopsy .

Giving the opinion over the internet is life threatening decision.

Let's face it, the only reason a lawyer would be interested in a plane crash is to see how much money they can make out of compensation cases!

Your biased opinion is just a proof that you are a person who has got some inferiority problem .

News / Polish hero pilot lands 767 without wheels. (Warsaw) [191]

Just my hint :

there are thousands of pilots around the world , but no one formulates any opinion about the case just Skysoulmate .

No professional would comment about the cause of a plane failure without examining the plane . Every time there is a special commission formed to investigate plane accident according to procedures .

And because I am a lawyer I would never analyze any legal case if I was not presented with evidences .

So ,at this moment , skysoulmate should praise the crew as most posters did , and wait for the report to come out instead of pinpointing maintenance crew `s failure . He was saying the same BS after the Smoleńsk crash that the cause was on the pilot`s side . While the Polish report pointed out many circumstances , moreover on the meeting with victim`s families it was clearly said that there was no pilot`s fault .

So , Skysoulmate , will you just shut up and wait patiently for the report, pls.

Here is an excerpt of TVN 24 article :

He made a strategic decision

"The decision was correct"

The decision made by Cpt. Tadeusz Wrona was correct , praises the editor and publisher of the magazine "REPORT - military, technology, defense," Wojciech Luczak.

- The decision was entirely correct and in accordance with safety procedures - assessed. He said, the pressure drop in the hydraulic system does not mean having to return to the airport. He stressed that the actions of the crew was "absolutely procedural." - The whole of this event shows the scale of the experience of air crew - concluded Luczak.

Chorzewski, in turn, pointed out that the plane after take-off - even though a fault occurred - but it was full of fuel and it would have to fly in circles over the territory of the United States for many hours (until fuel was combusted ) .

"He deserves the highest honor"

I think this is an excellent example of proper action in emergency situations. And this crisis of the whole system, but particularly in the first place it should be stressed mastery of the Cpt. Tadeusz Wrona, who fully showed a hundred percent mastery of the pilot - said Head of the National Security Bureau, General Stanislaw Koziej.

- I spoke with the captain directly, at the airport. I had the opportunity to hear his impressions - he 's incredibly quiet man. You must have iron nerves and a really good professional development, so that after a traumatic experience - after an hour of flying, knowing that he would have a moment to land without landing gear - so powerful precisely seat a plane - with the knowledge that at the back, behind his back is over 200 passengers - said Gen. Koziej . - This man deserves the highest honor, the president certainly will want to distinguish him for this act - he added.

- The captain was full of praise for all his crew, both for the co-pilot and flight attendants - the whole crew

More about the failure of the plane :

Today the expert from Boeing corp is coming to Warsaw to examine the failed system of 767 Boeing .

LOT spokesman Leszek Chorzewski said that despite of the detection in about 30 minutes after take off from Newark (USA) faults in the aircraft, the captain made an autonomous and "strategic" decision to continue flight.

As previously reported LOT president Marcin Pirog said that already about 30 minutes after takeoff from Newark (USA) Polish crew of the aircraft indicated that the central hydraulic system malfunction.

The machine had still another system, which can eject the chassis, electrical. - The captain could not be 100 percent sure of the fault - says Chorzewski. - He wanted to verify that the electrical system works. I wanted to do it in Poland . It was a strategic decision of the master, as it turned out, very correct - notes.

Over Warsaw, it turned out that the chassis could not leave, even though the so-called flaps of the chassis were ejected .So it revealed that , the electrical system didn`t work either . Then the decision was taken to an emergency landing.

Boeing over the capital was secured by two Polish military F-16 fighters. Before there was an emergency landing, the flying airplane burnt excess fuel and airport services made preparations to accept the machine. The runway was covered with a special foam. They called for the fire brigades and ambulances.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a maintenance error although it could be something else.

It shows you know nothing about the real cause of that failure . As a matter of fact the electrical circuit leading to this gear collapsed . So , it has nothing to do with the maintenance .This is what they say so far .

I know which I would rather have - you can't eat a gourmet sandwich in hell :D

That`s right , the safety of airlines does not necessarily depend on the equipment , because they are mostly equipped with Boeings ,being about the same age all of them , but the professionalism of the crew . I will choose LOT as my primary air carrier for my next flights , for its superb pilots and other crew members .

Jewish and British are not mutually exclusive,

Don`t put in my mouth words I ddn`t say .

Spiteful ? Where ?

You know, now you are touched by my statement , you only just sensed how Polish people feel, if some German deluded self made historian lied to EU commision that Kopernik was German . Welcome aboard .

Why do you disguise yourself under the Polish nick . it is a pity you don`t understand anything " nicnierozumiem " . Your nick looks just awkward .

The other three guys , why don`t you leave this forum , no one treats you seriously, anyway .

This thread is about something different than your hatred comments about lawyers , doctors , cheap labour , huge market etc.

Mikołaj Kopernik is Polish pretty much in the same way as Isaac Newton was British Jew , according to Jewish law .

If one of the parents is not Jewish, the rule is that the child takes the status of the mother (Kiddushin 66b, Shulchan Aruch, EH 4:19).[

Because Newton`s mother Hannah was Jewess , he is considered Jewish, if some Brits like it or not .

It's exactly this kind of nonsense that makes Poland sound like some village backwater.

Now, Copernicus. Clearly not 100% Polish.

Your revisionism will neither change minds nor history of Poland , you can claim whatever you wish .

Among the top ten famous British is Isaak Newton who is not British , he is Jewish . But no one claims in a wiki he is Jewish or says he is 40 % British 60 % Jewish because of his mother Hannah , a Jewess.

So don`t play heresy , you just make fools of yourselves altogether with this home spun German lunatic self made historian .

Mikołaj Kopernik was of course Polish . And no one will check his DNA , because there is no proof of his other than Polish ancestry . Thats a common attitude of Germans who want to overtake our land , our heritage and national identity .
