Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel! Today we’ll be looking at Emergency Gravity Gear Extension Handle!
The Emergency Gravity Gear Extension Handle provides landing gear extension in the event of electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical failure.
OPERATION - To put the landing gear down by gravity, the crew must pull the emergency gear extension handle out then turn it clockwise for three turns. When the flight crew operates the emergency gear extension handle, the cutoff valve shuts off hydraulics to the landing gear system and depressurizes it. This allows the landing gear to fall free to the down lock position by gravity.
But see how it's done in the video!
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

Many, many years ago when I was a flight attendant (stewardess then) for Delta on a Convair 880 we were on approach to Tampa when the Captain called me to the cockpit. The nose landing gear malfunctioned and did not drop. They manually cranked it down but were not sure it locked. He advised that they were going to do a low pass and a Cessna was going to do a fly by under the plane. It was determined the gear was down but couldn’t be sure it was locked. The crew flew around for thirty minutes to minimize fuel remaining on the plane while we prepared passengers for a possible emergency during landing. Finally, the Captain brought us down and held the nose up as long as he good before dropping it down. We stopped as quickly as possible on the foamed runway where emergency crews and fire men were waiting. The nose gear held and we deplaned passengers on the runway into buses. The maintenance crews were checking the gear. I went into the cockpit and the captain’s white shirt was soaked through as was his T-shirt. He looked at me and said “I just earned this year’s salary today”. We got off and I walked to the nose gear area with him. The maintenance crew advised us that the gear locking mechanism was partially not locking the gear properly and if we had landed with nose gear down instead of held up on the runway as long as the Captain could, it would have collapsed. A good pilot is worth ten times his weight in gold!
Too bad they dont pay pilots jack shit anymore.
@@jakegutierrez6783 earning a 6 fig salary is jack shit ?
Sully, Richard de Crespigny and Tadeusz Wrona are the pilots you want
The right stuff👍
Also with ten times his weight in gold up in the cockpit, the chances for the nose wheel to collapse would have been even higher!
Ah, I see Joe has went back to his roots
EliteLegendZXxD w
has gone*, jeez.
hanetar its still grammatically correct.
@@mardon.2885 no it's not
hanetar oh no, nvm. i read it wrong. Its “has gone”
It's always a good day when Captain Joe uploads.
Faxts
This is a fact
This is something I’ve wanted to know for a LONG TIME. Thank you Captain Joe. Your videos are AWESOME
Also. Some planes allow for pneumatic release of the gear. Meaning compressed air can be used to power the brakes and hydraulic actuator if it fails. Try reddit my friend for more questions.
Adam Hlali thanks
Just some facts hes awesome

Captain Joe: “system redundancy is key to ensure the necessary flight safety.”
Boeing while designing the 737 MAX: “i’m gonna pretend i didn’t hear that.”
Exactly!
Actually, redundancy CAUSED the 737 MAX failures, Boeing could have not added MCAS, which would just make it so pilots would have to manually adjust to prevent stall, and the nosedives would never happen.
@Sehr lecker Maulwurfkuchen You are clearly uninformed. The only reason MCAS existed was because they wanted to make sure pilots wouldn't have to go through special simulator training if they had already flown the 737. They would just have to go through a mandatory 1 or 2 hour iPad course. If there was no MCAS, pilots would have to do simulator training and the plane could still fly but the pilots would have to use and specifically know how and when to use the elevator trim. Not having to do special simulator training is a huge plus point for any airline as simulator training is an added cost. They would rather just go with the competitor which didn't require simulator training. If you call someone a moron, atleast try to find out if they are speaking facts because @Toby Meehan was.
@Sehr lecker Maulwurfkuchen You said it couldn't fly. However, the plane could fly with MCAS. All MCAS did was adjust elevator trim to keep the plane level. This could've been done by the pilots too.
@Sehr lecker Maulwurfkuchen As far as I know, they didn't just take away MCAS because it would
A) Cost a lot of money
B) Be a new reason for airlines to cancel existing orders
C) Airlines could (on some grounds possibly) sue them or get money out of them
D) Become a reason for airlines to no longer order both the 737 Max and also, it would worsen their relationship with airlines.
Alright, I think it’s time an Airline uses Captain Joe’s livery! It does/ would look awesome!
Aside from that, thank you for always explaining things in such a way that the entire audience will understand! Your content is always so engaging & interesting.
Can I just say THANK YOU for making videos like this. I’m an airport firefighter and this is stuff you never learn from a book. Interesting and informative!
"System redundancy is a key to ensure the necessary flight safety " could you go teach that at Boein? :-)
Captain Joe , it was great meeting you earlier this evening in Vienna ! Thanks a lot !
Just got back from flying into Bristol on an EasyJet A319, load up youtube and find this video! :D It's always interesting to see how things work (and knowing how much redundency/safety there is really does help me as a very nervous flyer!)
Nice to see you in Airbus cockpit again!💪
Only Captain Joe can explain it this good... Clever Captain indeed😊
Nice seeing you back in the Babybus simulator.
Joe! It was amazing meeting you today in Vienna! Keep it up, yeaaahhh buuuuddy!
Thank you for these videos. They actually reduce my flying anxiety - which is mostly caused by my need for control and knowing what is going on. I usually only fly domestically in Australia on Virgin or JetStar discount carriers and they are usually Airbus A320 or A321. I generally pay for a seat closer to the front. I do this in case I get worried I can look at the flight crew and check to see how relaxed they are.
One other thing that has reduced my flying anxiety is watching videos about WWII Lancasters. My grandfather was a pilot and crashed the longest surviving Lancaster on take-off (it was only his second mission). ✈✈🚨🚨🔥🔥 I figured if he can crash a Lancaster full of bombs with no injuries, I can learn more about flying and know what is going on. I even know when to expect turbulence due to my education in climatology. ☁🌧🌩🌈⚡
Cheers 😊 Gretta
Yeah but let’s all take a moment to appreciate the phenomenal editing in Captain Joe’s videos
You laughing at your own jokes is one of the best things ever 😅
An-225 gears fail
Captain: oh crap
Edwin Robert just one wouldn’t do anything
Actually when AN-225 was departing from Prague once, the last pair or wheels on main gear didn't retract at all, but they've decided not to land and check it, but continue onwards to their destination aerodrome with one pair of wheels out :D The pilots or the company later said, that it was cheaper for them to not land back but continue :D
@@Pejvl737 russian mentality... If it's still there, then it is fine... ;)

Thank you for the video. I was on a commercial A320 Delta flight from Seattle to Chicago a few days ago which aborted landing and did a go around at O'Hare citing a stuck right landing gear. We flew over Lake Michigan for about 40 minutes as the pilots were trying to troubleshooting the problem. They finally decided to do a "hard landing" and all passengers were asked to assume a brace position. Surprisingly (and to everyones relief) we had a normal smooth landing and were informed the gear deployed at 500ft. We saw emergency vehicles on the runway. I'm assuming they did a successful manual gravity extension but we were not provided any details of the incident. Reassuring to learn about the redundancy features.
Captin Joe, I love your channel you're a great teacher, I'm not a pilot but that was one of my dreams when I was younger, I wish i had a teacher who is smart confident, great delivery of information like you, on top of all a great personality, I feel like i can fly just by watching your videos, keep up the great job Captin Joe 👍
Because of you I’m finally getting my first flight lesson! Thanks for the awesome videos captain
Again superb video! And another advantage of the nosewheel extending backwards: if it should not be locked, it will not collaps upon touchdown!
Btw the gear lever of the Airbus (and many other) has only two positions: up and down. But the Boeings have a 3rd position: off. Can you explain what the off position is for?
@@Ztbmrc1 - The OFF position releases the hydraulic pressure from the landing gear system.
@@mikep9604 Ok so I guess the gear is than mechanically locked? Otherwise it would fall down again? And in Airbus the gear is constantly kept up by the hydraulic pressure?
@@Ztbmrc1 - Yes, it's mechanically locked then.
Regarding the Airbus this is said in the Flight crew operating manual: "the hydraulic supply remains cut off as long as the landing gear lever is up".
@@mikep9604 Thank you
I'm loving all the animations and diagrams showing exactly what you're explaining, as you're explaining it. Keep it up!
The detail and precision of your explanatory videos is astonishing. Easily comparable with a ground school course. Kudos, Captain Joe!!
I love how he explains everything 😉love it!!
I hope you enjoyed your holiday and welcome back. Thank you so much for the very interesting video on emergency landing gear. Thank you so much Annie
I had this exact situation happen to me a little over a year ago. We were on what you would consider an older A320, so we had no nosewheel steering after we landed. I was the lead FA and I remember hearing all the dinging around the time when the gear would normally be lowered, and I thought to myself, "that can't be good." We ended up landing and had to be towed off the runway. The plane flew another flight the next morning and the same thing happened, but I assume they did not have the indication that the gear was locked in place as that crew was instructed to prepare for a crash and emergency evacuation. Thanks for explaining the working behind what happened!
Captain Joe you're such an amazing man it's very hard to not loving you.
If you're an instructor then your students are the most lucky one.
U explain all in such a way that even a lay man who don't know how to drive a car will learn easily how to fly jet.
Same landing gear problem occurred just in Pakistan in an unfortunate flight 8303 of PIA Airbus A 320.
Where cockpit crew was coming hot and high in the approach and forgot to lower the landing gear, banged engine 3 times on the runway and crashed during go around. Tragic loss of 97 lives.
I Wish you were the captain of that plane those 97 lives would living happily with their loved ones.
Captain Joe , I am trying to do my ground school by my self and you are one of my instructors , thank you for every video you have made .
Captain Joe, your videos are fascinating, even for non-pilots like me. You explain things so clearly! I'd love to have a teacher like you.
The way you tell us about aviation so passionately and patiently is amazing!!👍😊
Thanku Capt. Joe!!
I love how you always laugh after your introduction. :)
nice one mate, would love to see you flying ( cockpit landing ) - love your channel, one of the best on the tube.
Great vdo as always specially the detail , 2:03 - 2:22 , the aircraft in the animation has Captain Joe's Logo on bottom n the side .
Thank You for the excellent explanation , Captain Joe . 👍
Sehr interessant. Vielen Dank, Joe. Auf wiedersehen. Bis zum nachsten Mal.
Ja.
Great video 👏👍your videos teaches me to be less nervous when I am flying , that’s why I love your video that much , and i learn a lot at the same time , about flying and planes . Merci 👏🇮🇪🇫🇷🐸et à bientôt 👍
Finally I know what I've always wanted to know
just recently found your channel but all ur videos are really well explained and helpful 👍great work
My dad is a A320 pilot for Alaska. A few weeks ago he lost the green system landing in Detroit but made a successful and safe landing.
What I like this most in aviation is that everything is thought, studied and measured in details.
Thank you for this video😺 I've researching basic information for a story I'm writing, and I learned more in your video than all the other courses combined.
Captain Joe PLEASE do a video of the "Landing with abnormal L/G check list. In addition, can you please talk about what maintenance has to go-through to reset the L/G system. THANK YOU as we all should learn more. I am 62 years young and I don't mind getting older as long as I learn something every day and have the wisdom, or gain the wisdom to use what I have learned.
I remember watching that landing @4:58 live on TV - that was just nuts. The crew did a great job of landing that plane.
Your knowledge is impressive. Respectfully:
1. How much of this did you know from memory, and how long did you have to study for (refresh) make this video?
2. Your average colleagues, how does their knowledge of these systems compare?
3. You seem to really have a keen interest on the design/Engineering/technical side of things.
4. Lunch is on me, if our paths ever cross!
Hi Joe! Your story reminds me the soviet aproach in the 80 on Antonov 24. If a side landing gear fought to extend one of the pilots came out of the cockpit, raised a floor door, get down in the luggage area then mechanicaly were lowering the gear.
I wanna be pilot on future but my maths is bad I'm trying to work🙂❤️
Thank you for sharing about planes and piolot lots of love from Nepal 🙂
good luck bro i wish you best
Are you going to fly to lukla?
Something to admire about the aviation industry is their commitment to safety and redundancy in aircraft design. Very interesting and informing video Captain Joe!
I will say however, you left me with that cliffhanger at the end: I want to know all about the "Landing with Abnormal L/G procedure." Should the passengers start praying by then? 😂😜
Love this channel!!!!
I'm hoping for a video where you will fly in the simulator
Great Job mentioning the former Indian Airlines/Air India A320s with the dual bogey landing gear! My friend saw a picture of this plane and told me it was “photoshopped”, but in fact, it was not “photoshopped.”
Very nice video. Amazing how Cpt Joe explain his videos in so many details. I imagine how nice is to have him as a instructor. His videos are full of information which makes it a MUST to watch.
Wow amazingly explained...
Step 1: Start praying!
Also pull out a pair of clean underwear from your bag... you WILL BE needing them! 💩
Step 2: check if it worked, If you are able to check. Then you are alive!
And make sure all the women scream at the top of their lungs
@@cancelanime1507 Yuk. No screaming! Lol
RealyRandomStudio Savage no no no. Step two is land and see if the gear is down
0:24 Captain Joe spotted again laughing after speaking "Let's get started" 😂
I am 13 and dream to fly in the future as my job and watching your videos inspire me more to become a pilot
I played extreme landings and there so many series of these kinds of problem like, Engine failure, Gear lost, Thunder strike, etc. I also learned that this game could help us out in aircraft problems. I recommend you download that Capt.
Today here in Pakistan,sadly an A320 plane (PIA - Pakistan international airline) crashed into a colony near an airport,the landing gears were not getting out,and,the airport was near this colony where the plane crashed,it demolished 4 building/apartments.the black box was found in 8-12 hours,and the recording were all exposed.
99 people died due to the plane crash and nearly 40 were harmed and some of them died because of getting stuck under the building that fall down.it is said that the ground will remain hot for about 2 days.
I live near the airport and I can tell how the black smoke cloud covered the sky.
The sky was black from the Centre and blue from the sides.
R.I.P to all who died today.

So if you had a gear failure when you put it down on approach would you go around and sort it out?
Yes. You wouldn't continue the approach knowing you have an issue without following checklists etc.
I love these technical video, and the visual reference content is helpful to get across the point.
I'm flying about 6 or 7 times a year, and was always fascinated by planes, it's very interesting to learn how all this stuff is working!
Thanks for keeping us educated. I've learned alot from watching your videos. Wish you da best Joe!
Hi sir im ATPL student and your videos are so helpful thanks alot
Can u make video on instrument Reading on any boeing aircraft like to explain instruments what you see in cockpit To give us general idea
And one thing more make video on cold and warm frounts
Thanks
Love your videos. I recall years ago, a JetBlue Airbus 320 head landing gear extension problems. The nose gear on the aircraft rotates 90° before raising into the fuselage. In this case it lowered, but the gear would not rotate back to facing front. They ended up landing with the nose gear pointing 90° to the direction of travel.
Loving this Joe!
I'd never pass the flight school selection test but I'm still hoovering up Captain Joe's wisdom.
5:37 *CRANK IT* LIKE SOULJA BOY
THANKS CAPTAIN JOE, I CAN APPLY THIS IN MY CAR. ❤
Seriously awesome video! I have been flying Airbus for almost 6 years and I’m still learning cool stuff thanks to you!! Thank you very much! I wish you some happy flying days on the Queen of the Sky. = )
Don’t need to go to flight schools with Captain Joe around
Thank you so much for explaining it so clearly! Looking forward to many more such informative videos! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Learning so much from your channel. In fact, it's more than a channel to me. I feel like my favourite professor's class.
Good to see you explaining about the Airbus systems again!! Love Airbus 💗
Great explanation... for sure, redundancy in systems and in function makes a lot of things and situations easier in various ways. thumbs up
Thanks Captain Joe for this channel ❤️I enjoy your videos and you help to ease my flight anxiety which stems from not understanding aviation safety. Thank you so much for all your informative videos 😊❤️
I miss when Joe was an airbus pilot 😭 All the a320 system videos and procedures were great
Hi Captain Joe , A Great Motivator For Me
An 17 Year Old Boy With An Strong Passion And Great Aim Of Being An Pilot From Nepal.
Keeping In Touch With You And Your Video Since Few Months But Havent Done Any Comments But Today I Wanna Ask Whether The Pilots Are Allowed To Listen To Music At The Time Of Flight Or Not ?
And Your Smile (Ahhahhahha) Its So Better ❤❣
Keep Motivatiing Us.Thank You ❤
Does the Boeing gears work in a similar way? What is the difference?
Thank you Captain Joe for letting us know the landing gear system. Now I know how the landing gear system works on planes. You really inspired me. I really want to become a pilot. Thanks for everything Captain Joe. Thanks for letting us know everything in aviation.
Keep 'em coming...I wish you'd do one on how pilots line up with the jetway and park using the special lights...
Once in Cologne a Plane landed with no gears in place, but they had luck and two equipped fire brigade trucks stood near the runway, and nobody was hurt
Capt. Joe thanks for the video of your work it is wonderful to see them.
Do you know what makes the A320 different from the other A320s?
Cap Joe, I want add some points. There is also something known as downlock springs which assist to extend the gear during gravity extension. These springs literally push the gear downwards so that they are locked properly and doesn't stuck in halfway position.
*Captain Joe is the sort of pilot that you would want on your next flight*
You aren't getting him on your next flight unless you are a piece of freight
@@cockatoo010 yeah I know. But that's the sort of pilot I would want. I Wish that he could fly the 747 for passengers
I remember something from a decade or two ago of a pilot "bouncing" the plane off the nose and starboard landing gear, coaxing the port gear to extend. They then did a second pass and landed safely. If only I could remember if that was a movie or real life.
Any day Captain Joe uploads is a great day!
Hi Joe, please could you do a video about the airbus autopilot panel and the pushing, pulling and turning of buttons on it.
Joe, on 3:46 there is visible some king of blocking mechanism, for landing gear stay in a fixed position. If landing gear retracted manually, how is that mechanism operated? Or it's electrical and not affected by the hydraulic system?
I was on a flight out of Costa Rica to Caracas, after take off the pilot advised that there news some issues with the landing gear and that he would do some steep climbs and dives. After bit of roller costing we had to return to Costa Rica for an emergency landing. I had no idea an Airbus could pull that kind of G's. Turn out one of the doors wasn't showing locked but it was ok so an hour later we took of in the same plane. Half the passengers refused to board Great fun, they kept us wined and dined. I was flying to Málaga via Madrid. Costa Rica, Simon Bolivar, Madrid Málaga. The hostesses gave so many mini whiskey bottles I was still drunk 18 hours later when I arrived in Málaga. ;)
Great video! Thank you, Helped me a lot during ATPL EXAMS!
It would be great to see these procedures on other aircraft models.
Hie Joe I'm from India and it's literally been a dream for me to become a pilot and I'm currently studying for it so just wanted to thank you for all those motivating videos you've uploaded for becoming a pilot Also wanted to ask a question that in which country are lady pilots given more jobs???
Please do consider my question
What's the point ? Is to avoid flying in this country ? Or to go find your future soulmate there ? ;-)
Otto Von Bismarck she’s a girl herself
Hey Capt Joe nice vid very informative..... I see the cargolux 747 every day at Jomo kenyatta international Airport..... How often have you come on this route.... Nairobi that is
i really like your videos more than Mentour Pilot once's.... because you explain it better with pictures and in a very short time....
But mentour pilot is not like that he is speaking for ages and ages and not even showing any pictures which makes us more interesting to learn and to watch it....
You are the best Captain joe i really like you..........
Another high quality video from Captain Joe ;) I hope my videos will be this good one day soon
Can you undo this procedure by cranking the lever counterclockwise? For example to gain back control for the nose steering?
great channel for the youth with dreams to be a pilot.
The drag link that attaches to the strut, right above the steering cylinders. Is it a spherical joint?
Hi Captain. Question: After a gravity gear extension, is it necessary any "extra" maintenance operation to get it back to the "normal" status? I mean, besides the issue that generated the landing gear malfucntion, to re-open the hydaulic valve at the green circuit and to restablish the mechanical locks. Or is it sufficient just spinning backwards the gravity gear extension lever?
