Serve Air Cargo Boeing 727F Rolls Out Of Control After Hydraulic Failure
A Serve Air Cargo Boeing 727-200 freighter departed from (FIH), Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, when it was forced to turn back after experiencing a hydraulic problem shortly after takeoff. Just after the pilots vacated the aircraft via the emergency slides, the aircraft started to roll back. (www.gatechecked.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Kinda wild watching all of those people running around underneath a rolling aircraft... and while it was doing a wheelie.
Think the nose gear was damaged?
Nobody thought to chock the wheels? How were they able to stop? Although I'd imagine that there are enough backup and separate hydraulic systems. Still, yikes, and yet kinda funny...
From the posted picture, it looks like a the slats may have become unsynchronized. Time will tell
It looks like it was the outer slats.
Guess, we'll need more info on this, but wondering out load why the pilots exited via the emergency slides?
