“Raising flaps whilst on landing approach?”

Raising on missed approach/go around

Just ask Chesley Sullenberger.

Landing gear can be lowered manually without hydraulics—so it will be interesting to see why that landed with the gear up.

I like the 737-300 to 737-800 series

Except for that nasty vertical stabilizer thing but that got addressed after killing two planeloads of people

(Minor details...........)

Unless you were on one of those two planes ✈️✈️

Landing gear was down. The pilot raised it before landing. Info on the data and voice recorders should be interesting.

From the video, it appears that the right thrust reverser was deployed.

[PAR35]

because they want us to forget the Soviet Evil Empire killing 269 people aboard Korean Air 007

Including a sitting U.S. Congressman and head of the John Birch Society.

[SaveFerris]

Yep, he was on board - I remember that day very well from 1983

[volare737]

If he raised the gear, he DID have hydraulics at that point anyway. You must have hydraulics to raise the gear. Yes, the investigation should be very interesting.

Old airplane, probably thousands of cycles, minimal maintenance by DEIs, what could possibly go wrong?
