we did not skid off the runway.....
we were on landing roll runway 28 when tower advised us to make 180 and expedite vacating and taxi back to the ramp due aircraft orbiting on finals 28. so upon checking my speed (20kts and deccelerating) i decided to commence with the 180 turn since the rwy width was in accordance to the airbus standard of 30mtrs min. and 40 degrees before the completion of turn the nose wheel fell of the edge of the rwy.
investigation by the company and all concerned authorities is still on going.
poor judgement? (apparently)
experience? we learn
my fault? DEFINITELY IM THE FREAKIN CAPT!
and to cheer up the nay sayers ill even post the verdict
i take full responsibility for what happened.
so that all you may know
god speed and may you never have an incident lest you be the one to be the unlucky
Congratulations Cpt. Del Castillo! This is the first time I have seen a pilot taking full responsibility for his action and not trying to cover up!
Great! Honesty helps!
Good luck in the investigation!
