Incident in Jersey
 

Heard that a Citation may have had "issues" in Jersey yesterday, anyone able to shed any light on it?

Do you mean "issues" :confused:

Sorry grammar police, yes I meant "issues". Now on with the point......

Now that we have cleared that up, no, nothing heard :mad:

BBC Local News

Heard (third hand!)that it didn't actually leave the ground, so it was possibly a high speed abort.

It got airborne but landed again? The way the BBC write that it sounds like a touchdown immediately after rotation. Surely not?

It was a high speed aborted takeoff due to a technical fault, and no it did not leave the ground.
Nothing exciting I'm afraid.

Nothing exciting?

Aircraft makes high speed abort. Fire and mayhem and it's "Nothing exciting"?

Kudos :cool:


C'monnnn. You can do better than that (please?). Type? Reg? Nature of the 'technical fault'? Souls on board? All ok?

Don't make me come round there.

Check your post for spelling and grammar please? Heck yes, and capitalisation.

Done. All part of the service.

Anything else you'd like?


;)

No, the park brake isn't also the emergency brake on a CJ.

Incidentally, a Sierra Eagle II will quite happly set off at quite a lick with the park brake set, should a happy chap carelessly set takeoff pwr, but sadly the wheels will not be a rollin'. Smoke - and quite possibly flames - would shortly ensue, if only from the CP's nostrils.

Finally, attempting to set the control locks on any Citation derivative whilst in motion would be a very, very silly thing to do.... nostrils, again.

(sotto) ... as would leaving a drawer open in an aircraft in a dark hangar, so the said CP skins his shin when climbing aboard early one morning. :suspect:

Errrr in a word yes

So what else do we know, was it a commercial operator or private owner? Cant be a nothing with an undercarriage on fire and the AAIB involved?!

Wasn't you was it Chinchilla? ;)

Plane catches fire as take-off is aborted News This Is Jersey

This may help.

VCR,
No, am glad to say I wasn't flying it that day.
Having to stop from high speed and then finding ones brakes overheat and catch on fire isn't my idea of a fun day.
Chinchilla.

Almost as much fun as rolling a Vigilant eh? ;):}

Rolling .... in a Vigilant.....surely not! Now go and wash your mouth out with soap and water for even suggesting such a thing lol. You'll be telling me you loop or spin them next :p

Who wants to start the countdown before the EBJ lawyers have that post removed.

Phil you're being cynical again.
