This helps reduce weight and simplifies the aircraft's braking and hydraulic systems. Each tire of a 777-300ER six-wheel main landing gear can carry a load of 59,490 lb (26,980 kg), which is heavier than other wide-bodies such as the 747-400. [152] The aircraft has triple redundant hydraulic systems with only one system required for landing. [153]
A movement is a landing or takeoff of an aircraft and includes both air transport movements and general aviation. [1] 2023 statistics

The Boeing 777-28EER involved, [a] MSN 29171, registered as HL7742, [4] was powered by two Pratt and Whitney PW4090 engines. [5] [6] The aircraft was manufactured in 2006 and was delivered to Asiana Airlines on March 7, 2006. [7] At the time of the accident, the plane had accumulated 37,120 flight hours and 5,388 takeoff-and-landing cycles. [1 ...
Moments after takeoff, the tire from the 777-200 plane fell on an airport parking lot below, ... Video showed the plane making a relatively normal landing in Los Angeles.
Its maximum takeoff weight is targeted for 775,000 lb (351.5 t) like the 777-300ER but Boeing hopes to have at least a 10,000 lb (4.5 t) margin at introduction. [91] Boeing predicts the -8 to be 4% more fuel efficient and cost effective than the A350-1000, while the -9 would be 12% more fuel efficient and 11% more cost effective. [ 92 ]
Many different types of weather, including dense fog, heavy rainfall with low clouds, and heavy snow, can drop visibility to near-zero and frequently cause delayed takeoffs and landings.
The flight departed SFO on time and the push back, taxi, takeoff, and climb were normal. There were three pilots on the flight deck: Captain Christopher Borzu Behnam (57), who was the pilot monitoring, First Officer (FO) Paul Ayers (60), who was the pilot flying, and a jump seat rider, who was off-duty United Airlines 777 First Officer Ed Gagarin.
