This just happened in my neck of the woods.
Gotta give the PIC some kudos.

http://www.news4jax.com/news/15923069/detail.html

It's good to see another emergency that only resulted in some bent
aluminum.

I have never flown retractables and don't completely understand the
systems, would it be strange for two out of three wheels to not
extend. Would it be an electrical, hydraulic or mechanical failure
that would most likely create such a 2 out of 3 scenario?

This is only an emergency because it looks good on TV. A gear up is
not a life threatening event.

I agree. Though they said he had 2 out of 3 down, in the picture it only
looks like only the right main is down. I think I'd probably pull all the
gear up (if possible) in that case and land on the belly. It seems that
you'd have a higher risk of losing directional control with the gear down
asymmetrically. Straight belly landings are almost always uneventful. Since
the insurance company already owns the airplane by that time, why take the
chance?

I agree.I had a partial gear up (RMG got stuck) in my Seneca back in 1990.
That was before youtube. It was a non-event (aside from the repair bill
) )

It would have been even less of a risk and done a lot less less damage
to the plane if he had retracted the gear and stopped the engines and
done a belly landing

Maybe. We're told to get as many down as we can, though.

Unless he had to go-around after feathering both engines.

Sorry, I'll minimize the damage as best I can while following
manufacturer's approved procedures. I'm betting nowhere in the 'ho's
AFM does it say to shut down and feather both engines on short final.
The insurance company can buy new props and motors. They can't buy me
a new certificate when it gets yanked because I invented my own
emergency procedures.

There are a million emergencies that can occur in a plane where there are
no procedures written about in the POH. There's nothing in the regs that
say you have to follow all "emergency procedures" in an emergency.
Handling an emergency isn't about just following what the book says.

Has this even ever happened before? Has there been an example of the FAA
going after someone who feathered the engines while doing a belly-up?

If it was me, I'd consider feathering them, but only if I thought it
could be done effectively. If it's a three-blade, or a turboprop of any
kind, I won't do it. If there's a chance of going around I wouldn't do it
either, but since I learned to land consistently (back in my pre-private
checkride days) I've had to go around, what, twice?

Why would he want to go around after short final? Are you saying the
POH says land on on one wheel? Now apply some PIC skills. Which is
safer, a belly landing with engines off or the crash landing the pilot
made?

In fact they've been commended for their pilotage skills. Engines off
on short final is preferred for the fire risk.

Actually, a partial gear landing is considered safer. I've made on ( not
by choice, one failed on touchdown) and damage was minimal. The airplane
was flying agian the next day.

S'funny you say that as I was reading some RAF stories from the war
and it seemed like gear up was the way to go. The touble with one
wheel down is what happens to the wing wen it catches on the ground
and starts a groundloop. It seems to me that accidental gear ups do
relativeley little damage to structure.

Well, in my case it happened at high speed and we did eventually
groundloop, bt at low speed and with little damage. The left prop got
it, but the boss did a crank check and found it OK, so it flew the next
day. Cracked drag link was the culprit. For large aircraft, even those
without underslung engines, they do recommend that we take whatever is
down. I know a few guys who have landed completely wheels up and the
damage was pretty heavy. A Beech 99, for instance ( lots of those have
been wheels up)

For the Gulfstream III landing with any two (2) gear legs down and
locked is preferred to landing
with only one gear down or all gear up. Should only one gear be
extended, it is recommended
that the gear be retracted and an all gear up landing be performed.
Landing with only
the nose gear down and locked is specifically not recommended.

Do you know why it would be different for heavies?

For the Gulfstream III landing with any two (2) gear legs down and
locked is preferred to landing
with only one gear down or all gear up. Should only one gear be
extended, it is recommended
that the gear be retracted and an all gear up landing be performed.
Landing with only
the nose gear down and locked is specifically not recommended.

Do you know why it would be different for heavies?

Nah, and it might not be like that for all of them. They don't giove
us a lot of info about stuff like that these days. they only tell us
what they want us to know. What they do recommned is that we shut down
all engines when the airframe begins to contact the ground ( in the
757, anyway)

This is manufactured news, not nearly as dramatic as the breathless
