Sports Memorabilia

Welcome to my site! We have the Wheels High Gear information that you are looking for.

I saw my first airplane crash today. I saw a Piper Saratoga land with it's gear up. Have you ever seen that?

The plane was fighting the wind as it came in and never lowered it's gear. Hit the runway and slid all the way to the end of the runway into the fence. I was surprised, it went further down the runway on it's belly than on it's wheels. (I suppose brakes cause more friction than smooth aluminum.)

No one was hurt. The Pilot claimed he was so worried and distracted by the crosswind that he forgot about the landing gear.

This is the 5th accident here in 3 weeks associated with our unusual high winds. 3 crashes, unfortunately, resulted in fatalities.

I've never been witness to a fatal crash, despite working at an airport for close to 10 years, thank God for small favors. I have seen a couple of gear up landings, both Baron drivers that for whatever reason simply forgot to extend the landing gear. The sound of propellers hitting concrete is very loud.
And I got to watch as a friend had the NLG of his Merlin II snap away on landing. I reached the airplane before the fire crews did.

And I lost a friend to an off airport crash when he took off in his V-35 with his fuel selector set to a tank that only had about 6 min's worth of fuel in it.

In a seperate incident, I've had to quarantine my FBO's avgas trucks for inspection and go deal with an aircraft owner's hysterical wife.

I've lost a coworker to a bird strike while he was giving a lesson; leaving behind a wife and infant.

It sucks, but it happens, and it'll keep happening without regard to any practices we put in place to try to minimize it. Currently, all we can do is minimize incidents and injury; it's unfortunate, but crashes will continue to happen, pilots will continue to make an erroneous judgment or just have brain farts.

Training, intimacy with the airplane, and discipline with regards to obeying the checklists is the only thing I can think of that will help abate the disasters.

Gear : 6130258569 $52.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. Geared devices can change the speed, magnitude, and direction of a power source. The most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear, however a gear can also mesh a non-rotating toothed part, thereby producing translation instead of rotation. The gears in a transmission are analogous to the wheels in a pulley. An advantage of gears is that the teeth of a gear prevent slipping. When two gears of unequal number of teeth are combined a mechanical advantage is produced, with both the rotational speeds and the torques of the two gears differing in a simple relationship. In transmissions which offer multiple gear ratios, such as bicycles and cars, the term gear, as in first gear, refers to a gear ratio rather than an actual physical gear.
