Jetgo incident Middlemount

[FPDO]

See a Jetgo 135 landed short at Middlemount and took out 2 runway threshold lights.
ANy det's?

Couldn't have been too bad because they flew it (VH-JGB) back to BNE on schedule although it has not moved since.

Just a thought, as it was a charter is slope guidance required.

megle2, generally even Charter Flights are required to monitor their slope and not land on the dirt part ;)

Much ado about nothing. No dirt landing. One only has to look at Google earth to see there is 60m of paved area at each end of the runway past the threshold.

I would have thought 1000' the standard touchdown point for an Embraer?

Well, if they did indeed take out some runway lights, then I would hardly call it "nothing"!
Something went wrong!?! Agree with Tankengine...

I would've thought that this would've required some sort of MX inspection before departure.
