Delta Airlines flight 4951 made a safe emergency landing at JFK International Airport in New York City yesterday after the aircraft's right landing gear failed. There were 64 passengers and crew members aboard as well as 3,000 gallons of flammable fuel.

The pilot maintained composure as he radioed air traffic control. He reported "The right gear is stuck up. The other two are down". When asked which runway he wanted to land on, he stated "Whichever one would be better for you all." They settled on Runway 31 Right.

Flight crew members prepped passengers for the emergency landing by telling them "heads down stay down!" in the crash position. The captain told them to brace for impact over the intercom.

Rescuers on the ground feared the worst on account of the 3,000 gallons of flammable fuel. As the plane landed, sparks flew from the righthand side but the plane did not catch fire.

All 64 people were shuttled safely from the aircraft to the airport.

He was our Capt. Sully!' Passengers heap praise on pilot Jack Conroyd after Delta Flight 4951 scare

Passengers on the jet that made a miraculous safe landing at JFK compared their icy calm pilot Sunday to Chesley (Sully) Sullenberger, the Hero of the Hudson.
The c ool and collected flier at the controls was Navy vet Jack Conroyd, 55, who is being hailed for saving 64 lives by effortlessly landing his crippled jetliner Saturday with its right wheel jammed in the up position.
"He was our 'Capt. Sully,'" said passenger John Predham, referring to Sullenberger, the US Airways pilot who landed in the Hudson River in January 2009, saving all 155 aboard. "I can't wait to see him receive all of the credit he deserves."
Sullenberger weighed in last night, telling the Daily News, "I commend the crew for ensuring a successful outcome for everyone on board."
Conroyd and his 33-year-old co-pilot, Larkin Newby, of Shermans Dale, Pa., were kept under tight wraps by their bosses at Atlantic Southeast Airlines, citing the ongoing investigation into the episode. But passengers aboard the Bombardier CRJ 900 twin-engine jet were effusive.
"The pilot was tremendous. He was great, nothing better," said passenger David Freda of New Milford, Conn.
After the plane had safely landed and the passengers disembarked, Conroyd was greeted with wild applause on the runway. He thanked the passengers for their patience.
"Thank you all very much for your help. Thank you very much for staying calm," he was caught on video telling the shaken travelers. "God bless you all."
'I have a very special man'
Conroyd's family said his actions were completely in character.
"I am very grateful that he did what was right. It was a blessing from God that he was able to make a perfect landing in a difficult situation," said Shelly Conroyd, his wife of 19 years, at their home in Lake Mary, Fla. "That tells me I have a very special man."
His 84-year-old mom, Hazel Conroyd, said simply, "To me, he is a hero."
"He is a retired lieutenant commander from the Navy and he has been a commercial airline pilot for Delta and Atlantic Southeast for many years," she said. "He is a quite a guy and has a big, big heart."
The first sign of trouble for passengers aboard Delta Flight 4951, being operated by Atlantic Southeast, from Atlanta to White Plains came when they realized the plane was circling the wrong airport.
Conroyd had said the flight was 15 minutes ahead of schedule, but when the expected arrival time of 8 p.m. passed, Freda looked out the window and noticed something was amiss.
"I fly in and out of Westchester all the time," he said. "And we were definitely not over Westchester."

Dúvida: devido ao facto de ter os motores em cima, pode dizer-se que "é menos perigosa" uma aterragem de emergência como esta do que se feita com um avião com os motores nas asas?

Penso que não, mas alguém mais abalizado que eu poderá corrigir.

Penso ter mais a ver com o design de uma tentativa de aumentar a estabilidade do voo no eixo longitudinal quando há diferenças de rendimento entre motores, em relação aos "motores em asa".

Por exemplo, o L1011 durante a sua produção esteve quase para remover o motor 2 (da cauda), até que, ao que parece, alguém terá chegado à conclusão que além dos MDLC e ACS, o motor 2 seria o 2º grande responsável pela reconhecida estabilidade do avião.

De facto, assim parece...se o aviao tivesse um motor debaixo da asa, este ficaroa concerteza muito danificado. No entanto, como o motor deste avião esta atrás, concerteza vai ser meticulosamente inspecionado, para despitar qq problemas de ingestão de qq partes da asa que tenham desprendido.

Em relacao à asa... o aviao apoiou-se num sitio onde não "é normal". O mais provavel é terem de inspecionar toda aquela asa com NDT, para ver se não houve nenhuma crack, empeno, etc.
