I am under the impression that they can put this thick foamy stuff all over the runway in the event landing gear will not lower (this impression is from a flight in which we were told mid-trip that there was some chance the landing gear might not come back down because we hit a bird or something with it on the way up). Shouldn't that work for this scenario, as well? Or were they lying to me at the time?
We landed to a runway full of emergency vehicles at Dulles. The landing gear came out so we didn't have to do a fly-by in order to allow the foam to be deposited.
