This Lancair (Call Sign: FTZ), was believed to have experienced loss of hydraulic power which caused the landing gears were unable to be extended.

  • @langmaidn True you would Def slide on the Pavement better

  • @Brn2FlyUL You'd think so, but I have read that it's safer and less damaging to skid on a hard surface. If you land on a soft surface, there is a danger that the aircraft will dig in and really tear something off. Worst case, it might flip over.

  • Why not land in the grass!! Much less damage.

  • @inbound1000 - purchase a used one. There a ton of them out there and comparing a Lancair IV or Legacy to an A36, Saratoga or Mooney is like comparing apples and bacon.

    The Lancair IV has a useful load of 1350lbs, cruises at 330mph at 18gph and has a range of 1500 miles.

  • @DiamondPilotDan i think you can buy the lancair as a kit or full production...they are over priced ...not roomy...if you want comfort speed and nice landing gear for about the same money buy a a36 bonanza or piper saratoga..much better quality planes...

  • @inbound1000

    No.. they wouldn't get the speeds that they do out of the lancair if they fixed gear hanging in the wind the entire time.

  • i thought a lancair had stiff legs...same as cirrus?

  • @hunterTS4 lmao

  • loss of hydraulic power,,,, no flaps either? or are the flaps electric?

    that sucks :(( the IV turbine is BADASS

  • shouldn't have spent all his money on that engine and dropped some into some nicer gear
