Rough landing during a hurricane

8 ay önce eklendi

It was a rough landing during a hurricane on one of the shortest commercial runways in the US. They cancelled over 1000 flight that day, and this probably should have been 1001 (www.cnn.com) Daha Fazlası...

This link by Peter Fuller much better. Great picture of strut punched through the wing. They just don't build 'em like they used to back in the day of the DC-3!

I'm guessing what he means by slide rules is that in the past, engineers lacked the computing power we have today, so erred on the side of structural integrity.

To me, the video appeared the bird was floating and decision was made to plant it and then corrosion took over.

CNN still can't get the accident correct. If they only knew how hard it is to tag wing on landing while in a near level pitch attitude, but how much easier it is to punch the gear through the wing and drag the engine nacelle sparking all the way during roll out? My guess the briefing went something like, short runway, standing water so plant it on early and firmly………ooops not that firmly! If I remember correctly, even the stretch 8 if on landing allowed to “bank” more than 5 degrees, at 7 you would tag the inboard engine ( and they were skinny nacelles)?

Sorry, but I have to say it. If they had already cancelled OVER 1000 flights that day, how would this one have been 1001? It would have been number 1002 at a minimum.
Yeah, yeah, I know.

Landing during a tropical storm? In hindsight, maybe the airport management should've closed the airport or at least the air traffic controller should've held up inbounds?

All the airplane knows is wind, rain, and rate of descent. If those are within parameters, you can call the current conditions anything you want even "tropical storm" if you like. But you can still land, just carefully.

Numerous instances in the Far East of landing or taking off in Tropical Storm conditions. Singapore flight 006 October 2000 comes to mind, but that was more the case of using the wrong runway

I hear that... Storms aren't my thing to Fly In... In that Sierra, we had one hell of a Tail Wind! - DME showing 454 kts (Before GPS Planes), ATC asked us 3 times to verify A/C Type... Speed Unrealistic! I can only imagine what the wind would have been if we had waited much longer.. LOL

I was on a United jet to EWR a few years ago during a Nor'easter. Probably the worst last 20 minutes of a flight I ever experienced. Lots of screaming. I was looking at the woman next to be and we both are like, we'll probably get out of this alive, but....

Reminds me of the infamous “Vomit Comit” route in CO. I was on the same route as UAL 585, though thankfully we did not have a rudder hardover. Landed safely, though some PAX were a little green and vomiting.

You got me wondering about the Part 121/135 landing field length requirements. If memory serves, landing distance required can be no less than 60% of the runway length available, now add 15% for a wet runway and I suspect this aircraft would have had to have a charted required landing distance of 3,000’ to make it work?

If the calculated required landing distance didn’t allow a legal landing, I think this Alaska crew wouldn’t have done the approach and landing, but would’ve gone to their alternate. It’s possible that the 5,700’ runway was barely legal, but just because something broke doesn’t mean that a professional crew busted the rules.

I didn’t say they did, only that their charts had to show the landing distance required as being 3,000’ or less for their weight.

There’s an opspec that allows us to use 80% of the available runway. This is for planning purposes. Once you are airborne, you may use the whole runway.

I flew a Beechcraft Sierra (C24R) in 1989 leaving Bahama's... Just for a memory refresher, that was the Day Hugo hit those Islands... Wanted to leave the day before, but had to Replace a Starter that prevented the engine from starting... It was on nice Tail Wind! It was either play with some Tail Winds, or suffer the full brut force of it... Me and my friend elected to get the "H???" out of there! Had a great tail Wind... LOL

I have to disagree. The timing of your flare IAW the prevailing WX at the time will determine how well you bring the A/C onto the active.

I disagree... Depends on the Pilots and the Runway... I have been on some Very Smooth 737 landings. I admit there are more rough than smooth, but there are very talented pilots that can grease them on.

I am no meteorologist, but I was on a planespotting stream at LAX earlier in the day and the rain was getting very unpredictable and coming down hard at times. I drive by John Wayne all the time and I wonder if Harrison Ford would have been able to tell the difference between the runway and taxiway in this tropical storm. I'm sure the pilot has his hands full on that short runway. He probably should have diverted to the much longer runway at Long Beach. Only about a 15 minute drive to Santa Ana.
