vertigo writes "A Piedmont Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-100 on behalf of US Airways, registration N934HA performing flight US-4560 from Philadelphia,PA to Newark,NJ (USA) with 31 people and 3 crew, was on approach to Newark when the crew reported they had a left hand main gear unsafe indication and requested a low approach to have the gear inspected from the ground. The aircraft was cleared for a low approach to runway 04L, offset left of the runway, tower asked the landing lights to be turned off to get a better sight of the aircraft. Tower subsequently reported the left hand main gear appeared only half way out of the wheel well. The aircraft climbed back to 3000 feet and entered a holding west of the aerodrome for about 90 minutes to work the checklists and burn off fuel. The aircraft positioned for an approach to runway 04L and landed with all gear up. The aircraft slid on its belly to a safe stop on the runway, the occupants evacuated through the left hand main door. No injuries occurred.

The airport was closed temporarily following the landing.

US Airways reported the aircraft landed with its landing gear retracted after a gear indication could not be resolved following multiple attempts to lower the gear. The aircraft landed safely on its belly, no injuries occurred. The passengers were evacuated and bussed to the terminal.

Posted by jt on Saturday, April 27 @ 17:25:46 UTC (144 reads)

vertigo writes "More than three months after safety issues grounded the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Ethiopian Airlines became the first to resume service with a commercial flight Saturday.
Nearly 50 Dreamliners around the world had been out of commission after two incidents on jets operated by Japanese airlines called the battery systems into question.
Boeing last week began installing a redesigned battery system in the aircraft.

The Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner flight carried passengers from Addis Ababa to Nairobi, Kenya, the company said.

The move follows the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration posting a directive outlining the modifications necessary for the Dreamliner to fly again."
