Bombardier Dash 8 Q300 aircraft landing at Blenheim airport with the nose landing gear up, very nicely done. 41 passengers and three crew on board, no injuries
The comments about a quick evacuation are stupid. No fire, no damage, not even smoke! So you walk away from a great no nose gear landing to get hurt or killed stomped by everyone rushing out, or walking into a propeller. The crew did the right thing. Kudos!
Much more difficult than it looks. He managed to land the nose very softly, as opposed to him holding it off until the elevator lost its effectiveness. That would have resulted in a harder contact. Very nicely done. The sight picture is something he had likely never experienced in his career.
Not sure which of two nosewheel incidents the vid is of. 'A similar incident on 9 February 2011 saw an Air Nelson Q300 flying from Hamilton to Wellington diverted to Blenheim when the nose wheel failed to deploy. The plane made a successful nose down landing with none of the 44 passengers injured.[8] It was later determined that the pilots failed to release the uplock lever with the necessary pressure for the landing gear to release.[9]'
I was on base last year when exactly the same thing happened around the start of November I think, I was stuck there for an extra night instead of going to Ohakea because they closed the runway.. but great landing to the pilots! Well done!! :D
Hi there @kahu1958, I have a (tiny) channel where I post flight reviews and try to pop in small point od interest on something about the flight or the plane. I am working on one for a flight on ZK-NEQ and am going to put in a short segment on this emergency landing and was wondering if I could insert a little bit of this footage into my review. Let me know if that's ok and how I can thank you / credit you - generally I embed a credit in the video itself and put a link to the original source in the video description.
I was on a Air NZ Q300 on a flight from Invercargill to CHCH on Monday and it had landing gear issues, landed fine but after a bit of research it seems the dash 8 is renowned landing gear faults
I was more surprised at how long it seemed to take the appliances to arrive immediately at the aircraft, once the it came to a complete stop. I presume they were already on standby so how come they weren't "on the spot" more quickly? I have no problem with overkill at these situations so the time factor simply heightened my interest.
I do not know, I would expect them to wait for the propellors to stop turning then evacuate, but they waited longer than that. It would be nice to hear from someone who was onboard, to hear their point of view.
The Dash-8 only has doors at the front so how are they supposed to open any other door? Also, there was an immediate threat to the passengers after landing so thats why they were "taking their time"
They have more doors, one on the opposite side of the "stair door", and two emergency doors under the wings, you cant see it because the engine is blocking the view. But yeah, it seems they were not in a rush
They have had very few considering the amount of flying they do. Other airlines are similar with similar aircraft. Check out gear faults on the Q400 which air new zealand does not operate.
In hindsight maybe. But what if a nose gear door or partly lowered nose landing gear had rapidly steered the plane sideways which would probably have collapsed the main gear tearing open the wing fuel tanks and allowing the aircraft to role and possibly break up and burst into flames
The entire purpose of emergency services is to be there in an emergency...what would you be saying if they stayed at the fire house playing cards while this plane made an emergency landing?
Bit late with my comments here as I have only just found this video. Why the coincidence of Woodbourne for this and the incident with the Beech 1900D? It's no coincidence. Both aircraft, once it was clear there was a landing gear problem in each case, were deliberately diverted there mainly due to the fact that Woodbourne has a long enough grass runway to reduce fire risk yet has the full emergency facilities on hand. Secondly an emergency landing like that at Wellington for example would close the airport for several hours whereas the disruption at Woodbourne would be minimal by comparison. @Bronwen Comrie-Evans Air New Zealand link operated Air Nelson Dash8-300s are most definitely crewed with 1 flight attendant, it's a legal requirement for an aircraft of that size (passenger capacity). You are getting confused with the Beech 1900Ds operated by Eagle Air another Air NZ link operator. As far as not being an emergency? Get real!
What happened to the emergency safety procedure standards? All emergency exit doors of the aircraft should've been opened immediately so that passengers can disembark in emergency situations like this landing. It is the responsibility of the flight attendant to ensure the safety of passengers and crew are safe, to be more effective. I didn't see any of that. I only saw one door open and the passengers were walking off taking their time. You need to go back to ground school training.
SmileyMango this doesn't look like pilot error it looks like mechanical failure or something like that. If you might wanna explain why it is a pilot error I'd be glad.
Why? Considering they have one of the highest safety rates of any commercial aircraft... and even when they fail they are extremely stable while not having engine thrust or even without nose landing gear. So once again, I ask why?
Jonathan Baggett I have to get on one of these for a short flight... First time going on a turbo prop. I am glad to see the safety record of these aircrafts. Most incidents being landing gear failures.
+Jonathan Baggett Agree, but SAS got rid of theirs because of this very problem. I fly on these on a regular basis in the UK have never encountered a technical issue. Apparently a great pilots plane to fly
An emergency has been declared by the pilot . This officially makes the books as an Incident . This COULD have been a rolling fireball of twisted metal and dead people...... Still.....you are a full qualified commercial pilot huh ???? You call it what ya like ...
+Brack Bernhard Operationally Air New Zealand and Alaska Airlines Pilots have some of the most qualifications out of many Airlines in the world... Hence why we're sort after. (Airbus Type Ratings, Commonality and RNP -AR 0.1 Approaches.)
If the plane was on fire, they would have been dead now!!!!!! They should have evacuate in less than 90 secs. Even the fire traccks went there after long time!!!!

The plane wasn't on fire, clearly. It was a simple and common procedure and there was no need for any sort of drama or panic. You need to calm down.
The comments about a quick evacuation are stupid. No fire, no damage, not even smoke! So you walk away from a great no nose gear landing to get hurt or killed stomped by everyone rushing out, or walking into a propeller. The crew did the right thing. Kudos!
I suppose any opinion that differs from yours is "stupid."
i got love for the dash 8 they a the regional stars in the caribbean, impressive landing
Very good landing, given the circumstances. Smooth, and let her nose down so gently. Excellent airmanship.
Smoothest Landing I’ve ever seen a dash 8 do
what a legend, it is not easy to land so smoothly, even with the front gear down
The pilots did a GREAT job of landing the plane so smoothly!!
brilliant pilots very impressive landing.
I flew in Dash 8 Q400 several times and it feels very safe from my point of view. I guess the landing gear issues have been resolved by now.
Excelente procedimiento no anormales, excelente firmeza.
Much more difficult than it looks. He managed to land the nose very softly, as opposed to him holding it off until the elevator lost its effectiveness. That would have resulted in a harder contact. Very nicely done. The sight picture is something he had likely never experienced in his career.
That was a good landing
@ thr33wisemonks:......We are kiwis mate, not into drama and fuss!
Why did some of the engines and firefighters head down field?
Not sure which of two nosewheel incidents the vid is of.

Very nice landing. And good idea to go for the grass
Very, very smooth. The owners and ins. co were pleased no doubt.
I was on base last year when exactly the same thing happened around the start of November I think, I was stuck there for an extra night instead of going to Ohakea because they closed the runway.. but great landing to the pilots! Well done!! :D
Great landing,pilots! The Dash 8 is a fine plane.
Excellent Landing, way better than I would of done
Those pilots deserve a medal!
Probably the same ones who landed the Beechcraft that had landing gear problems

@Andrensn . Sorry, NLG stands for Nose Landing Gear.
Are there any Dash 8s that haven't had problems with the gear? Good for them they had a grass strip to land on.
I was on a Air NZ Q300 on a flight from Invercargill to CHCH on Monday and it had landing gear issues, landed fine but after a bit of research it seems the dash 8 is renowned landing gear faults

I have lived in Blenheim my whole life how did I not know about these
Bravo,credit to the brave pilot.
I do not know, I would expect them to wait for the propellors to stop turning then evacuate, but they waited longer than that.

But yeah, it seems they were not in a rush
It seems that all Air New Zealand is good at is sky couches and gear up landings a Blenheim.
They have had very few considering the amount of flying they do.
Other airlines are similar with similar aircraft.
Check out gear faults on the Q400 which air new zealand does not operate.
Really nice work.
Excellent emergency response
Everything happens at Blenheim airport! churr last time a Beech 1900D airliner had to make a landing there as well
churr?
In hindsight maybe. But what if a nose gear door or partly lowered nose landing gear had rapidly steered the plane sideways which would probably have collapsed the main gear tearing open the wing fuel tanks and allowing the aircraft to role and possibly break up and burst into flames
hope your flight went well; would prefer the 1900 beech any time!
Nah, the Dash 8 is the BEST plane ever ;)
The Dash 8 is the best plane ever to be invented in the whole entire world the beech has more landing gear issues tho
Wasn't it later found that pilot had not activated the gear lever sufficiently to get nosewheel down?
@@colinsouthern Mmmm surely PF was in touch with engineering.
only the 1900d in nz doesnt have attendants the rest do
Yes, it is.
Is this the airport where the ANZ B1900C landed wheels up
AviationUpclose yeah
I love the dash 8
Really? I hate aircraft with the wings above the windows.
did any one died?
No wonder air New Zealand went for an ATR instead of a Dash 8.
Great grass landing...! Replace the gear doors. . fix the nose gear problem and she is good to go!
The entire purpose of emergency services is to be there in an emergency...what would you be saying if they stayed at the fire house playing cards while this plane made an emergency landing?
How did you get all these accidents?
Maybe some will, but none were harmed in this incident.
Good job
Bit late with my comments here as I have only just found this video.

super petica za kapetatana i prvog oficira
a bit of an overkill with the emegency crew, dont you think?

Why it took them so long to evacuate the aircraft?????
Gold3010 well there was no fire or smoke. And the props were still spinning. So there was no real rush to evacuate
GOSTO MUITO MUITO DISTO
he would've had to touch down at bare bones minimum speed with flaps fully extended and when the nose touched down go full throttle reverse thrust
Derek Wall turbo-props don't have reverse thrust do they?
isopath1 reverse blade pitch, yes
I flew ZK-NEQ twice yesterday, no problems :)
what there a problem wish them. I got to Fly again soon with them lol
How come ANZ had so many gear problems?
mikey Riley it's quite often the same plane that has the faulty gear.
Very cool!!!
air new Zealand always have these kinds of problems
Yeah
It was pilot error
SmileyMango this doesn't look like pilot error it looks like mechanical failure or something like that. If you might wanna explain why it is a pilot error I'd be glad.
+Andrew Anane he didn't push the gear button or leaver hard enough or something like that or maybe that was another plane .
SmileyMango ok
there is no way in the world I would fly on a Dash 8 prop!
Why? Considering they have one of the highest safety rates of any commercial aircraft... and even when they fail they are extremely stable while not having engine thrust or even without nose landing gear. So once again, I ask why?

Quick! Everybody run to the back of the plane... NOW!!
your not kidding either PMSL
An emergency has been declared by the pilot . This officially makes the books as an Incident . This COULD have been a rolling fireball of twisted metal and dead people......
Still.....you are a full qualified commercial pilot huh ???? You call it what ya like ...
Why take 1 min to get these people to open the door? aren't this a emergency? shuoldn't they be trying to get out ASAP?
Kiwis do it better
+Brack Bernhard Operationally Air New Zealand and Alaska Airlines Pilots have some of the most qualifications out of many Airlines in the world... Hence why we're sort after. (Airbus Type Ratings, Commonality and RNP -AR 0.1 Approaches.)
nOOOO
more like a CRASH-8 lol
.
Your concord failed
If the plane was on fire, they would have been dead now!!!!!! They should have evacuate in less than 90 secs. Even the fire traccks went there after long time!!!!

LOL...what if...what if...what if.....
The top comment sucks.
LOL
