Beech 1900 aircraft wheels up landing

Beech 1900 aircraft wheels up landing. 17 people onboard, no injuries. Great work from the pilots.
Also note the cool passengers, climb out then assist the next one out. See TAIC Report 07-006, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation 1900D, ZK-EAK, landing gear malfunction and subsequent wheels-up landing, Woodbourne Aerodrome, Blenheim,

@bmxdavenz . If a pilot thinks an aircraft has any kind of defect he should report it. I doubt very much that that company would fly an aircraft that had not been properly repaired aligned and tested.

@spetnik You dont want to skid on soft grass at 200km/h; you tend to dig in rather harshly. Things get ripped off, parts and planes start tumbling. All nasty stuff. Bitumen is smooth, hard and consistent. A good example is a motorbike rider who falls off, they slide nice until they hit the dirt, then bones start getting broken.

Those pilots deserve a nice cold beer

This is why I always choose to fly with Air New Zealand whenever possible. They have exceptionally professional crew and pilots.

Great pilots, bravo!

The actual cause of this incident was a cracked end cap on one of the hydraulic actuators on the main landing gear assemblies. Given that the hydraulic system on the Beech is a single loop systems, any rupture or leak in the system will result on complete loss of pressure. Any effort to lower the gear using the manual pump handle was pointless because the fluid was just being pumped out through the leak in the actuator. Normally the gear is lowered electrically using the electrical power pack
