This is the forum to share your older or theme-based aviation photos, under the same conditions as the parent forum. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). |

Is that normal? Or is it just an illusion?
Thanks in advance!
I'll give it a try; when normal landing gear extention fails (this normally happens by hydraulics) the remaining option is a manual extention. With this move the landing gear doors are lowered by gravity (unable to close them like during normal operations) and this result comes out.Shunn31 wrote:It is not an illusion...planespotters.nl wrote:At the pictures of A340-300 - Airbus - F-WWAI - c/n 0001 from 23 November are the gear doors almost touching the ground..

This day, this aircraft has made any landings with gear doors opened... testing from Airbus. Why ? I don't know
