Landing gear would not deploy. Belly landing. All passengers safe

Very impressive job by the pilots! How long has LO operated this plane?

They used to practice this stuff in the old USSR ;)

Very rare. The alternate gear extention system is a DC electric motor powered from the hot battery bus from a switch on the F/O's panel. :blink:

I thought the same thing Spock....
Maybe only one gear jammed and they decided to leave them all up? Not enough info to know at this point.
