Boeing 767-300 accident on November 1, 2011 near Warsaw-Okęcie-Frederic Chopin, Masovian Voivodeship (Mazowieckie), Poland with no fatalities. Cause:...
- Date: November 1, 2011
- Aircraft: Boeing 767-300
- Location: Warsaw-Okęcie-Frederic Chopin, Masovian Voivodeship (Mazowieckie), Poland
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Failure of a hydraulic hose on the right main gear, followed by an open circuit breaker in the alternate gear extension circuit that the crew did not detect during approach. Contributing factors included unguarded circuit breakers, their low position on the panel, and an unincorporated service bulletin.
A LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 767-300ER flying Newark to Warsaw could not extend its landing gear normally because a hydraulic hose failed and an open circuit breaker blocked the alternate extension system. After repeated failed attempts and low fuel, the crew made a gear-up landing at Warsaw, where the aircraft slid to a stop on the runway with no one injured. A right engine caught fire after the stop and was put out by firefighters.
