Fedex Cargo makes emergency landing

[Phil Perry]

Circled for an hour to burn off excess fuel. Looks like main gear failure, but no official info.

I managed to find the report on aviation-safety.net . Looks like your bog standard refusal of the undercart to lower . Thankfully just one minor injury . Unfortunately I don’t appear to be able to attach the file here , but it is easily viewable on their website .

One of the pilots had a heavy landing escaping from the cockpit with the emergency rope. How does that system work?

You get out of the cockpit window and use a rope. Pilots are like superman. They might have used emergency extension of the gear and the doors remain open and throw a few sparks. Nev

There's always other ways/procedures to get the gear down.. Nev
