The aircraft landed approximately 4,000 feet down the 8,911-foot-long, wet runway with a 14-knot tailwind component and was unable to stop on the remaining runway length (www.aero-news.net) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It's what you would call a "Gotcha!" moment....a real long moment.....so this is what hydroplaning really feels like.....whoops!
more like OH $%^&!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ouch! Saving five minutes by going around, in hindsight, sure seems like a better option. curious how many times that crew, and others, successfully pulled It Off without incident.
Kind of like landing at MDW.
You had better be on your game there whether in a 150 or 767
Wayne, well said. I agree. Pilots must be the Master of the machine! That machine will do whatever you tell it to do......right or wrong......a man has got to know his limitations!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE OUT THERE!! :)
