My in-flight problem had much more serious consequeces.
As i was lined up for landing, my co-pilot informed me that the gear had not fully extended. After trying the gear handle a few times and
attempting to manually extend the gear, I deaclared and emergency (called mayday), squawked 7700 and the flight attendant briefed and
prepared the pax for the emergency landing. I touched down 1500ft past the threshold (at 5kts above stall speed with a descent rate of
51fpm - accoding to the flight report).
The end result? Half of the passengers died, all of the others were injured, as was my pilot - and I now have a crash registerd against
the airline - dropping the reputation rating from 99% to 78%!!! The flight report also stated that I neglected to squawk 7700 even though
7700 was indicated on the transponder display!
