Gear Up Landing
-
Is it possible in BMS to do a gear up landing? I was on a mission returning with a shot up jet and the gear refused to extend. I decided to eject rather than risk the fiery death.

Yes, it is possible to do a belly landing. However, did you try the alternate gear release?
-
Embarrassingly this is the first time that I have heard of that. I am still on 4.32 until I get my i5 machine, is this deployed on that?

Yes. Default key command is (I think; IIRC) ALT-G, or hit the alt gear handle on the mid-left panel …. near the gear handle/gear lights (again, IIRC).

Have a look at the Landing Emergencies section (page 182-) of the BMS-Dash1.pdf document in your \Falcon BMS 4.32\Docs\Falcon BMS Manuals folder. It takes you through the different scenarios and offers advice on your options.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Will check my key defs tonight too. Have manual - should read. I think that’s the soundtrack to my life!
