Emirates A388 - Moscow, GA from 400 feet
#11
757, May 2007.
We came out of a low overcast about 1000'/min, 400 AGL. Engines spooled up and we went up to what I presume was the FAF altitude because we drove straight ahead for about 10 miles before starting down again. Did a three point landing; exit sign in mid-cabin came crashing down. Sat at Gander for four hours (three longer than the planned fuel stop). Word we got was we had a gear problem (not surprising). Not sure if they fixed it or deferred it, but we had another longer than planned stop at Shannon while they brought another jet over.
Sounds strange to say, but I was relieved to get to the Deid.
