  • 01 November 2011 - A LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 767-300ER registered SP-LPC was operating as LOT Flight 16 from Newark Liberty Airport EWR KEWR to Warsaw Chopin Airport WAW EPWA, during the flight the aircraft experienced a failure in the hydraulic system that rendered some of the flaps and landing gear unusable. After switching to the backup system, only the flaps control was regained. Further attempts by the crew to lower the landing gear failed. After circling Warsaw Airport for more then an hour the Boeing 767-300ER made a belly landing, a very unusual and rare event for modern jetliners. The crew under the command of captain Tadeusz Wrona made a historic landing with no fatalities.
