American Airlines Flight 862 makes a Safe Emergency Landing

[phillyslasher]

Nice flare, he floated a little :p but right on the centerline. AA pilots are among the best.

You all know that emergency landings happen a lot more often than you know. In fact you may have very well been on a plane that has declared an emergency and passengers not even know it. more than likely the gear was down and locked but a few of the multiple downlock sensors were in disagreement,so it showed an unlock indication. Usually a gear problem is a sensor. if it were truly not down and locked it is probably a hydraulic problem which the crew would see. This is not that big a deal.

[booman606]

I will add that emergency landings are most stressful for the pilots. but there are checklists for every scenario.  weather is a much greater threat to airplanes than the systems of the plane itself.

IT IS An American Airlines MD-80 a.k.a (Super 80)

[travelsonic]

American got the F-100s in '89/'90, retired them I think around '05. I was on one in '03.

[jimbotrains]

everybody was saying its a Fokker-100

[gasmasterX]

typical cowardly americans overreacting

[lordvader3215]

You see, having an emergency landing but not have anything happen is infinitely better than the other way around.

[joeboxer1788]

MD 80... beautiful aircraft...

[rondo215]

Don't they know it is a McDonal Douglas MD80

[surfnaplesboy]

stupid news casters...its a Fokker F-100 series aircraft, not an MD-80

[KantaAce]

American Airlines does not and never did on its stand alone operations operate the Fokker F-100

[surfnaplesboy]

my uncle was an american airlines pilot and flew three different Fokker F-100's and AA leased them to northwest about three months ago, but think wat u want, im not going to argue with you.

[markab71]

thats a md-80,fokker has "circles" for windows,and the md-80 has the windows above the main wind screen fokker does not!

[jimbotrains]

ur serious? its so obvious that its an md-80 look at it. look at the landing gear and the flaps.

[jimbotrains]

also, look at the cockpit windows.
