Jetstar Boeing 787-8 Tyre Bursts & Emergency Landing

It’s called a TIRE, not TYRE.

It was only flat on the bottom 😢

Lack of maintaince i would presume

why the door hatch stays open ?

(former landing gear engineer) The tire failing right around rotation highlights that tire strength margins at that point are actually less than at touchdown: More load, more centrifugal stress, and less innate rubber strength as a consequence of rolling heat generation. Meanwhile, touchdown loads aren't as large as what they might seem with all that spinup smoke. For one thing, immediately after touchdown/spinup the wing is still supporting most of the aircraft's weight. A visual indication of that comes from watching how the shock strut typically strokes very little at touchdown. It's only after the spoilers come up that most (but still not all) of the weight is carried by the landing gear.

That gust just before touch down was a real pucker moment given it was onto the bad leg

Hey I used part of ur video for a short if u mind I can make it private so tell me

Keep in mind, this is what caused the Concorde to crash.

What wrong with gear tilt? The gear tilt look like A350, but it's 787-8.

Looks like a patch work of maintenance its got a white nose cone and white engines while the body is grey

Nice catch

Nice pick!!

The NLG doors opened so the gear was selected up after liftoff, but most likely there was a hydraulic hose damaged and that was the origin of the visible vapor that appeared to be coming from the r/h engine but probably from the gear well, as the thrown tread usually does a fair bit of damage. Loss of pressure and fluid could be the reason for the MLG doors not opening at that time.

Sorry... but that's got to be one of the worst landings I've seen after a blown tyre !! He crunched the landing coming in. At the last millisecond the plane pitches to the right heavily, putting ALL the weight on the right main landing gear bogie for the first few seconds, the VERY ONE with the blown tyre !! I don't think cross wind could've done that at only 5 feet off the ground, especially as the approach was smooth as butter all the way to the runway, so I would rule that out. Then he "hops" it down the runway with the nose wheel making several attempts to touchdown !! wow... Planes blow tyres all the time and they are designed to land with them blown. There is enough safety margin built in from tyre manufacturers, and plane manufacturers, for the remaining tyres to cope with the extra load, so all he had to do was land it FLAT... !! That being said, you don't go out and deliberately push the remaining 3 tyres on that bogie to the limits by landing on that one only !! Still... all passengers safe, plane safe, so I guess job achieved "successfully".

Important counterpoint to the stereotype of pilots in developing countries being poorly trained. These guys did a great job of remaining cool under , must've been a terrible shock. Same goes for the cabin crew, too.

my dad was the first officer on this flight

I flew on Vh VKH in 2019 on the EXACT same flight path

I’ve been on that exact plane but different route

did anyone notice the nearest wing tip as it appears not to have the upsweep like the far wing

Not the usual cattle truck tyre blowout.

Good thing wide body jets have buggy landing gears.

OMFG

The reason that the gear didn’t retract is due to the ‘smoke’ that was visible after the burst. It is actually hydraulic fluid misting out of the lines after a line rupture probably due to tyre debris striking it. That is also why the main gear doors were extended for landing.

Jep now more and more 787 type planes will show all soort off different failures in parts that already war out, but with poor quality it will wear out much more quickly. And faulty/bad installed parts like the Alaska door plug, if rumors are true they used rejected and damaged parts, they will wear out within years and eventually give up and at 40K feet a lock on a let say cargo door breaks, at 40K feet youbhave an explosive decompression what is like a bom in damage what can crash the plane if very important files, hydronic and Electrical bus lines are ripped off.

Planes typically can fly for 30 years and after the prime years it go to cheap Asian/African airlines where the bad parts are potential so bad, all margins worn-out and with not the best engineering it will slip trough and I am afraid that we are going to see constant critical malfunctions on type of plane after this board of directors already living comfortably with their bonuses and their actions then will be visible too late.

normal day for jetstar

Nose job!

The aircraft manufacture is NOT to blame for tire burst incidents like this

Gnarly, great catch

Very odd that they didn’t raise the gear during departure. Standard Boeing drill is to raise the gear even if you sense a blown tyre through vibration or if you get EICAS TYRE PRESSURE. The gear doors being open for the landing then suggest that the hydraulics have failed. Not necessarily related to not raising the gear on take off either. Something odd going on here.

Wow! Great work! ✈️ 👍🏼

I'd hope that the airport operations had cleared up the rubber debris on the runway before this plane landed....

Awesome catch! May I feature this takeoff in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!

the gear turned into an a350 gear lol

Why is the video sped up?

Positioning of the fire crew?, surely could have been closer .

Yea jetstar prob using second hand tiers from quantas

Those gears not looking too right looks like A350 gear on a 787

Hey, what is the focal length of the lens you used here?

Honestly the Jetstar 787 fleet is held together with bubble gum and spit. They should never have bought them.

I must have missed all the drama. All I saw was a plane takeoff and landing. (yawn)

No issue they are designed for that

Well it is for budget travellers so all maintenance is done on a tight budget

Super catch of the whole incident.Great video mate

Doctor Bear, it is amazing that you were there and got such good, clear footage of the entire event!

Well done boys

Interesting the flight returned to Sydney. Why would it not just continue to its destination and land there? Don’t need wheels in the air.

Your lucku to capture the scene!

I thought this happened today because i saw a jetstar dreamliner fly over me with its gear down. Might’ve been the same plane

Wow, well caught and great video. I wonder why they did not immediately vacate the runway then stop on a taxi way for example. Would love to know from a pilot or someone at the airport the operational reason for this. Easier to evacuate on slides maybe if that was required??
