More fun facts
The Riyadh Beechjet was flown to Jeddah for maintenance. The crew attempted to depart in another Beechjet that had sat on the ramp and in the hangar for the past couple years.
The nose tire on the hangar queen separated on takeoff roll. Crew was OK, plane received significant damage to underside of aircraft and both engines ingested chunks of tire.
The crew called dispatch to notify them. Kamal (the last remaining dispatcher after the two smart dispatchers recently quit) told the crew to get the other aircraft back out of maintenance and finish the trip.
No one of importance in the company was notified of the incident, GACA was not notified.
GACA has since contacted the company and has started training Arabian Jets on how aviation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia really works.
All this after Hameed and Kamal almost burned a King Air to the ground by bypassing Procedures, Chief Pilot and DO a few months ago. After the brake fire of a new King Air was extinguished the crew called Dispatch (Kamal) to notify Arabian Jets of the incident and Kamal tells them to go back to the ramp and get another King Air and keep flying. GACA was on seen and got their report. The Chief Pilot and DO was never notified by anyone from within the company that; the new PIC was hired, dispatched to fly an Arabian Jets aircraft or that it had caught fire.
You cannot teach common sense.
