Well aircraft 700 had to make a no flap landing in clt tonite , had a flap lock same problem its had from its departure from the great 3rd party maint in ala. The aircraft is out of severice one again...........when will they learn???????????
No, this does not result in a hard landing or aircraft damage. A no flap and/or no slat landing gives the pilot an "unusual" deck angle or an approach picture they are not use to. The other siginificant factor is a much higher approach and landing speed which requires a longer runway due to greater stopping distances. If the runway is wet (or slushy/icy) this could prevent you from landing at these fields. If you couple this problem with other problems, ie.. anti-lock braking system failure, then it would really jeapordize the aircrafts ability to stop on the remaining runway after touchdown. It's not a normal occurance that flaps and/or slats fail to deploy and these maintenance practices (outsourcing) should be stopped immediately!robbedagain said:when an aircraft makes a no-flaps landing, does that mean the landing is going to be a very rough or hard landing? Also can a plane be severely damaged by this type of landing?
