 A visitor from Germany posted Mon February 16, 2009:Perfectly captured! That was a test of the so called "Free Fall Extension" of the landing gear. This will happen if the hydraulics serving the gear should fail. | |
 A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 16, 2009:Maybe the landing gear doors are down as the retraction sequence is beginning? | |
 A visitor from Ireland posted Mon February 16, 2009:Nice to see the A380 in more liveries | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 16, 2009: I think it was a landing gear gravitiy extension test. This is the only normal condition where landing gear doors are open in flight. | |
 A visitor from - posted Mon February 16, 2009:I think what is meant to be pointed out are all the landing gear doors are down - possibly due to a gear-gravity-drop test | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Mon February 16, 2009: He is talking about the open landing gear doors, not about the landing gear. Great picture, thank you. | |
 A visitor from Sweden posted Mon February 16, 2009:Question was about the doors to the landing gears, not the gears themselves. Interesting shot, quite unique I assume. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 16, 2009: No no not the gear but the gear doors they should be closed when the gear is extended | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 16, 2009: First flights for aircrafts always go gear down. This is for all companies; Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, etc... | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon February 16, 2009: First flight is always taken with the landing gear down because of fail-safe procedures. Happened with every SQ and EK first flight I saw. | |
