You have made a few accusations that are false!
It did not.
We have been told VH-OGX landed on a saturated runway at ybaf and has ground looped and skidded off into the grass , anyone with finer details yet as to what happened?
We didn’t tell us it ground looped, you did. No such term as a saturated runway. If a runway is wet or even contaminated with standing water it didn’t skid did it wiz kid.
Code:
Overloaded and underperformed on wet runway
Again a major assumption, without the facts in hand.
VH-OGX Did a inst approach onto 10L. Pilot obviously got visual, and needed to circle for 10L to remain stable. Standard stuff. see
VH-OGX ? 23-Jan-2014 ? YTNG / THG - YBAF ? FlightAware
Or review of the ATIS transcript the RWY was reported as WET. The investigation may need to look into the possibility of the RWY having been contaminated. Pilots rely on accurate RWY conditions particularly on high performance aircraft. If Archerfiled Airport expect more of the FIFO/Corporate action Id suggest they may need to look into the classifications of RWY conditions and report the accordingly. Its a rare event yes, but entirely possible on that day, it was torrential.
