Not much more than an armchair flight engineer here, but even if there's a hydraulic failure, does the A320 have a failsafe mode where the landing gear can be deployed via gravity?
- aaronmdjones 6y agoYes, you can use the alternate gear extension mechanism to manually unlock the wheel bay doors and rely on gravity to pull the gear down and lock it into place. This sometimes doesn't lock the nose wheel (you'd have to be nose down a lot for it to work) but that's usually okay.
