Alitalia Skids Off Runway On Landing.

Occurred at Fiumicino airport. No idea of type I am afraid. Apparently the landing gear failed to lower, but that could just be media speculation. <a href="http://www.trust.org/item/20130929194915-mhukz" target="_blank">http://www.trust.org/item/20130929194915-mhukz</a><br><br>[Edited 2013-09-29 13:...

RE: B767 Door In MEL

Hiya, Love the looks of the Van! With regards to the 172, there will obviously be the standard cert issues, but anything can be overcome. How old is the 172? The later the better as far as the wiring loom/harness is concerned) (BTW you may get a better response if you put this into Tech Ops)
