"AF113" |
modified to Block 130 standards 1996: Immediately after a touchand-go during an FCLP (Field Carrier Landing Practice) hop from NAS
Dallas, Tower told Hunter 113, "You've lost your mainmount!"
The RIO asked the pilot to check the hydraulics, which were holding steady at 3,000 psi. They also had 7,000 pounds of fuel, giving them time to consider their options. The crew decided to fly to a local field with the widest runway. They asked for an LSO and had their short-field arresting gear derigged. Overhead Fort Worth, they discussed the best configuration and potential landing problems. The LSOs arrived on station and suggested the F-14 crew burn down their fuel to 1,500 pounds. The crew agreed to try landing on the far right edge of the runway with a minimum sink rate. They would hold the left stub off the runway as long as they could. The pilot would engage nosewheel steering after touchdown and try to compensate for the anticipated left drift. The crew flew a flat, low-sink-rate approach, landing precisely on the right runway-edge line, holding the left stub off. After the stub touched down, the aircraft began pulling let, but the pilot countered with nosewheel steering. The Tomcat stopped 5,000 feet down hte runway with minimal damage. Inspection revealed a failed inner-wheel bearing, which allowed the tire to separate from the main-landing gear strut. |
