Malév Flight 262 was a flight from Budapest Ferihegy International Airport to Thessaloniki International Airport. On 4 July 2000, a Tupolev Tu-154, belonging to Malév Hungarian Airlines, used on this flight performed a gear-up touchdown during the landing at Thessaloniki, skidded on the runway, but was able to take off and land normally after a go-around. No injuries were reported. ==Before the incident== The aircraft normally used on this service was Boeing 737-300. However, on the day of the incident, the intended aircraft (registration HA-LES) had an engine problem and was replaced with Tupolev Tu-154, registration HA-LCR, at the last minute. After a short flight from Budapest, the Tupolev started descent to its destination in very good weather conditions. The flight path followed the mountains and was only above the hilltops at times. The ground proximity warning system (GPWS) system, detecting such a low height, constantly warned the crew to lower the undercarriage. Disturbed by the ever sounding horn, the flight crew switched the system off. The airplane was approaching Thessaloniki without apparent problems but faster than usual. Due to that, it turned on to its final approach sooner than expected. At that time, the destination runway 28 was occupied by a Boeing 757, cleared to take-off. The Tupolev's pilot in command decided not to lower the landing gear and to perform a go-around. Nevertheless, as the 757 started take-off, the captain decided to land. Due to extreme time constraints, the crew didn't have enough time to read the ''before-landing checklist''. With deactivated GPWS, only the Tower ATC could warn the crew that the landing gear was up. However, since the Tupolev already had landing clearance, the tower controllers were busy departing the 757. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malév Flight 262」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
