micro 0 #1 September 3, 2006 ... on YouTube.. long video, but worth it... pilot lands DOWNWIND in RAIN, w/ insufficient runway length, "loses brakes" per NTSB report, skids off runway and in to bay. Plane is evacuated but then left engine spools up "on it's own" and starts "taxiing" itself around the bay for a little while. Scary, yet hilarious.

bob.dino 1 #12 September 3, 2006 QuoteThat dude's career is over. Check the NTSB report - he landed at an airport that was closed to jet traffic, on a runway that was too short for the aircraft even in nil wind conditions. Oopsy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #14 September 4, 2006 QuoteDoes anyone know if/why the planes engine ramped up out of the blue like that... It was in some kind of auto-start mode. That way, if an engine conks out during takeoff or landing, the plane's systems will automatically attempt to restart the engine. This takes some load off the pilot who may have other worries at the time. Unfortunately, the pilot forgot to completely turn off the engines when evacuating...

SkydiveJack 1 #15 September 4, 2006 QuoteOMG...the poor pilot! How much does a jet cost? Can you imagine? Losing your job and being responsible for costing your company so much money! Eek! The NTSB report said the pilot had a private pilot license. Therefore he/she can not fly commercially, that is, not as a job. This leads me to speculate that the pilot owned the airplane. I think your statement "the poor pilot!" should be "the rich, lucky, stupid pilot". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
