Description
āIām still a rookie second officer but even I know itās not supposed to happen like this.ā āThe captain called āBefore Landing Check.ā Thatās normal. The first officer and I moved the appropriate switches, levers and buttons, and chanted the usual incantations. Thatās normal. The trusty old Boeing 727 responded with its arcane dialect of flashing lights and flickering needles. Thatās normal. And the all-important landing gear panel is now showing three green lights assuring us that they wheels are locked down. Thatās normal. But the landing gear control panel is also glowering at us with a trio of red lights, telling us that the green lights are not to be trusted. Thatās not normal.ā
