It seems not always despite indications showing success. More details as to why this would be, would be very nice.......
1.C-FNJH, a privately owned Colonial C-2X amphibious aircraft was on route from John C. Munro
Hamilton International Airport (CYHM), ON, to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (CYTZ), ON with
two souls on board. While in cruise the aircraft lost electrical power. The pilot turned off all non-
essential power and was provided priority for the landing at CYTZ. The landing gear was extended
on approach and the pilot observed a landing gear down and locked indication. This was confirmed
by the pilot visually checking the exterior mirror to confirm the landing gear was down. After
touchdown the right hand landing gear collapsed and the aircraft slid to a stop on the grass by the
intersection of Runway 26 and Foxtrot taxiway. There were no injuries but the aircraft was
substantially damaged.
2. The Thunder Airlines Beechcraft A100 aircraft (THU103, C-GYQK) departed Moosonee, Ontario
(CYMO) destined for Fort Albany, Ontario (CYFA). The flight was conducted under VFR conditions;
during the approach the First Officer selected the landing gear down, however there was no
movement from the landing gear and no gear lights illuminated. The flight crew followed the QRH
procedures and manually lowered the landing gear, and observed three green lights, indicating the
gear was down and locked. The flight returned to CYMO, and the passengers were briefed on the
situation and a landing was performed on Runway 24. During touchdown, the flight crew heard an
unusual noise from the left main gear location and felt the left wing begin to drop. The left main
gear green indicator light also extinguished. The Captain immediately aborted the landing, applied
engine power, and became airborne, reportedly without any other parts of the aircraft coming into
contact with the runway. The flight crew decided to divert to Timmins Victor M. Power Airport
(CYTS), ON, a main base for the operator with emergency services, since the aircraft had sufficient
fuel and VFR conditions existed throughout the route. The flight crew declared an emergency and
proceeded to land on Runway 21. The aircraft touched down on the nose and right landing gear
and settled on the left side of the belly pod. The aircraft skidded until it stopped at the intersection
of Runway 10/28. All occupants exited the aircraft and no injuries were reported. The airport was
closed until the aircraft had been removed to a local hangar. The TSB is coordinating with the
operator on the cause of the landing gear malfunction.
Did That Emergency Gear Extension Really Work
