wouldn't it also burn off a lot more fuel?
Quoted: Why turn around? Why not just land at the destination? Sorry, I no Know nothing of airplanes but cant they save everyone some time in case it doesnt crash? Apparently I no nothing of the difference of Know and no....  |

Lol, from now on, whenever there some developing tragedy, the powers that be need to check with GD for the proper response.
Jeez people, they have people with years of experience handling this. I trust them more than someone on the internet. |

Stupid ass shit! Circling to burn off fuel instead of going to destination to preform the same landing there. Everyone will be fine, its a blown tire not an engine falling off. What brought down the Concorde again? Hint: It wasn't an engine falling off. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile All airplanes, especially jets with high rotation speeds, are in danger of a blown tire. One of our jets locked up its brakes on landing and sent a huge chunk of the tire through the flap assembly like it wasn't even there. PS: If every landing feels like a crash you're a shitty pilot (Naval aviators excluded). |

If the tire that was damaged, blew, damaged one of the adjacent tires and the aircraft continued to climb to altitude you could have a VERY LARGE KA-BOOM in the wheel well. Ask me how I know. Was ground crew on an air force RC-135. The aircraft took off and there was a tire defect/damaged tire. We think it rolled over FOD on take off. When the aircraft "ALMOST" reached operation altitude the tire blew. You would not believe the damage to that air-frame. The crew was lucky to get back. EBR66 Plus, they also mentioned that Atlanta : A. Has a longer runway. B. Better emergency preparations. Plus the FAA is gonna be all over your ass if you don't land at the nearest suitable airport. |

You know losing an engine (the mounts are break-away in case of imbalance) isn't that much of an issue either. Losing an engine and all three hydraulic systems is an issue. Like the Ford Exploder controversy, a flat tire isn't a big deal. looks like the front didn't fall off either. |

This could cause the tire to explode causing major damage to the air-frame. This is what happened to the RC-135 I spoke about.

Our Delta flight got turned around last week because the landing gear (front wheel––strap)would not retract.
We all got sent to a different terminal and boarded another aircraft with the same crew. Free alcohol for the adults. |
