British Airways flight BA274 lost a main landing gear wheel shortly after takeoff from Las Vegas. The A350-1000 landed safely at Heathrow; no injuries reported. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/british-airways-plane-loses-wheel-shortly-after-takeoff-from-las-vegas-video-atne0tl3?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #BritishAirways #BA274 #A350 #LandingGear #AviationNews

The glider's landing gear brake has been successfully bled of air bubbles. Brake lever action feels firm and stiff, not spongy. No leaks noted anywhere. I feel good about initial tests of the brake when the glider is next assembled.

1st photo - overall configuration. The bleed tube is on the left side and leads to a jar in which to collect excess brake fluid. The actual brake line is on the right, and quite thin. The orange color is outer tubing that serves as a scuff/wear protector.

2nd photo - fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid, and keep filling it as you bleed out the air.

3rd photo - transparent/translucent tubing lets you see what is happening with the brake fluid.

4th photo - one of many bubbles that escaped as I filled the system with fluid.

Before the glider landing gear gets reassembled, I riveted new brake pads to replace the old ones.

Then I practiced a couple times to determine a workable assembly sequence that required the minimum of wrestling, fuss, and need for a third and fourth hand.

Now I can add brake fluid and bleed out the air bubbles.

This brake is supposed to have enough stopping power that I can inadvertently tip the fuselage and scrape the nose if I brake too hard. (It's no fun to do that...especially if you have an audience.)
