  • 08:58:55.1“you know what, I think we should do that first what do you think?”
  • 09:00:06.0“okay can he talk to SAM and see what else we can do cause we got.”

08:46:56.0FOHOT-2if both LC CIU's have faulted landing gear position indications on the ECAM are lost and the gear not down warning may be displayed, if both LG CIU's have faulted we don't know that right? DCA10IA021p.11
08:47:05.3ATCCTRUnited six thirty four ah right now the tower suggesting we clear you for an ILS eleven approach and then ah that way you can descend and then ahm they'll be able to get a better look at the right side.p.12

08:49:52.4FORDO-2well we followed the ECAM procedure we put the landing gear down normal, we had the landing gear not locked not down locked ECAM so we followed the ah the procedure which says ah gravity extension.p.17
08:49:58.8ATCCTRroger.p.17
08:50:12.0FOHOT-2should I tell 'em that we had the gear down for this first?p.17
08:50:15.0CAHOT-1sure.p.17
08:50:18.4FORDO-2and after we had the gear down ah when we did the gravity extension the gear handle was in the down position and after consulting the manual it says to put that down after we do the landing gear gravity extension I don't know if that matters.p.17
08:50:34.8SAMSAMokay I missed part of your conversation there ahm say that again?p.17
08:50:35.2ATCCTRUnited six thirty four speed is at your discretion. DCA10IA021p.17
08:50:40.3FORDO-2okay we did the ah, gravity extension because that's what the ECAM procedure told us to do we had a, no, ah gear down we did the gravity extension now we have the left, gear down indication green nose-wheel is down but the right main is, red.p.18
