I was in the process of landing applying flaps as one should do. However, in the end the flaps on both side were missing. I had no Idea. Is there anyway to tell from looking at instruments that the are gone?
Also in the same landing a wheel was missing. I had a solid green light so I thought all was good. Is there anyway to check that a wheel is missing aswell?
In RL, is a situation like this–or even perhaps in normal ladings–another aircrew would likely do a visual check, if they were alive. I don’t think it is “cheating” to do a quick outer view check in situations like this.
BTW…have you ever landed whiteout being totally shot up?
IIRC that only accounts for the carriage leg extending correctly from the fuselage and locking in the extended position, it can’t possibly account for the state of the wheel.
