It happened at John Wayne Airport when an Alaska Airlines plane landed Aug. 20 during Tropical Storm Hilary.
WASHINGTON — Investigators say a pin broke inside the left landing gear of an Alaska Airlines jet thatThe two pilots on the Boeing 737 discussed the need for a “firm” landing during Tropical Storm Hilary, and the captain felt a “firm jolt feeling” when the plane touched the runway at John Wayne Airport in Orange County.
The pilots told investigators that cockpit indicators showed both main landing gear and the nose gear were in the down and locked position. After the plane landed, the captain told the co-pilot that it felt like the plane had a flat tire on the left side, and the crew noticed the plane listing to the left.
When the captain stopped the plane on a taxiway, he opened a window and saw the plane resting on the housing surrounding the left engine. The pilots shut down both engines, and passengers exited on the taxiway.
