Posts: 787 The mishap crew relieved the JFK at MIA.

The CA pushing the wheelchair was not the mishap CA.

Are you sure about that?


More than likely yes. There was a Deadheading Captain Check Airman on the flight? The Captain flying the aircraft sustained a broken arm? More than likely the one in the picture of the Captain pushing the wheelchair was not the Captain that flew the aircraft?

Approach Light system has apparently been out of service for almost a month?

I have been to KIN many many times over the years. Mostly in the Astro Dinoliner (727.) Best I can remember the Runway is Asphalt. Non grooved. Many parts of the runway have pools of standing water during rainshowers. Slicker than owl discharge.

Tail wind, Slick Wet Runway, Max Landing Weight, High Ref Speed. I am thinking a bad bad case of Hydroplaning.
