Nose gear not down, or partially down or not locked is not the end of the world. I'd expect a nice landing keeping the nose off for as long as possible before gently lowering it down to the runway.

So what would the procedure be for something like that? I imagine that is something that is trained for?
Ha.. asked my question before the edit

You should be more worried about her travel to and from the airport.

So I just had an allen key confiscated by airport security. I forgot it was in my bag and it had gone through security unnoticed numerous times before today.
I know the rule is "no tools" but this seems a little extreme. Are there things on a plane I could start unscrewing?

Didn't know they weren't allowed. I've flown many times with one in my camera bag(for tightening the tripod mount plate). Guess I got lucky?

I think I just had an over zealous security guard. I have been reading up on what you cannot take on board:
Quote:
|
Sporting good, kitchen utensils, tools, and other items with sharp edges or points capable of injuring a person
|
It then provides some examples of tools:
Quote:
|
Screwdrivers, crowbars, hammers, pliers and wrenches
|
So it looks like allen keys are okay.

Yes, but allen wrenches are not.
Terminology!

I'm picturing three workers hauling out a giant allen key to tighten the wings after every flight...

Tomorrow at 1030 local time in Tolouse, France the Airbus 350-1000 will have its maiden flight. It will be the longest twin engine airliner built, beating the 777-300ER by 1 inch.

The only place I've ever used an allen key on an airplane is on subcomponents, I think 5mm is the biggest I've ever needed.
That said if you hold one in your hand the right way and punch someone you could easily punch a hole in their cheek and ruin their ability to blow up a balloon.

Back before 9/11 I was travelling with a co-worker to the U.S. for some work. I had a small pocketknife in my briefcase which I had forgotten about (very small, as in the blade is about an inch long). He had a pair of needle nose pliers in his. Guess who's item was confiscated by security and who's was okay to take on.
Also reminds me of a buddy who flies for one of our airlines. Security took away his nail clippers and told him they could be used to take control of the aircraft.
