Re: Red Sucker
Been winter storm near blizzard like conditions across parts of the prairies .into nw ontario this past weekend
2 questions come to mind. 1) being a weekend was the runway recently plowed ie within2- 4 hours of arrival ? . An rsc from friday has no relevence on sun morn if been snowing all weekend . i could see if there was 6-8 inches of fresh snow with wind packn some drifts. That would cause a gear issue.
2) n the Maintenance. If lack of proper lubrication of the nose gear bushings. Would cause a problem under winter cold and a shock loading . Will be an interesting read from tsb
