Biman A310 Loses Nosegear
Dubai International Airport was closed at least eight hours Monday morning,  
after a Biman
Bangladesh Airbus A310 suffered an apparent nosegear collapse  and skidded to 
the end of runway
12L following an aborted  takeoff.
............Reuters reports 14 passengers were slightly injured in  the 
subsequent evacuation, out of 236 passengers and crew
onboard the  widebody airliner. Unconfirmed reports state the plane's crew 
aborted takeoff  due to an engine fire .............
The incident snarled operations at the busy Mideast airport, a major hub  for 
trade and tourism in the United Arab
Emirates. The accident shut down the  airport's only runway; a second runway 
is closed while it is widened  to
accommodate the upcoming Airbus A380 superjumbo.
Passengers said they  weren't told how long their flights would be stuck on 
the ground, and instead  got their
information from television news reports of the accident.
"It's  crazy, I can't get any sense out of anyone," said Joe Murphy, who was 
connecting  in Dubai on a trip from
Australia to the UK. "All I want to know is what's  happening."

Fellow LML'ers
 
Proving that the LML is read by pilots worldwide, note how successful  the 
aborted takeoff was with nose assisted in braking Bangladesh  Airline's A310 at 
Dubai.  As Rick said, forces were transferred  forward of the mains and the 
nose underbelly and radar pod were utilized to  add extra stopping power.  
Unfortunately, airliners are heavy and the  runway was slightly damaged (remember 
the IVx solution that would leave ruts in  a grass strip).
 
This maneuver was successful without using a squat override switch as  it was 
automatically induced with sufficiently hard braking  alone.  I'm sure this 
feature was designed in by clever French engineers  whilst enjoying a 
croissant, a bit of brie and a nice Chardonnay.   Food for thought indeed.

PS: Boeing take note!
 
PPS: This was possibly a collaboration of not only the French engineers,  but 
German (Knockwurst and beer) and English (Fish, chips and stout), too.
 
PPPS: Note that EZ-type aircraft embed a hockey puck in the nose, not only  
for their notorious parking style but an effective friction device for use in  
those cases where the nose gear is retracted and the plane is moving in 
contact  with earth.  The puck and tarmac are compatible in that only the puck is  
worn away, leaving a tell-tale black mark, measurable for determining the  
stopping distance.  Second-hand pucks obtained from the Chicago Blackhawks  are 
best because they receive little abuse by the 'Hawks during  their service on 
the ice.
