Premier off the runway at Blackpool
|
Or per the BBC:
"Firefighter(man?) Steve Boyne tweeted: "Crews assisting at Blackpool Airport with a jet crashed on runway. All souls safe." :ugh: |
Bump ^^^^^^^^ to give you guys chance to comment.
Seems strange that such an incident, which had the capacity to be far worse, hasn't attracted any discussion. I recall a Premier running off the end of Blackbushe's runway a few years ago so this isn't the first time it's happened. Are there some sensitivities surrounding the a/c, its crew or pax causing silence here? SGC |
The brakes on those are a known weak point. Being blackpool, we can probably blame the Troyd.

Are there some sensitivities surrounding the a/c, its crew or pax causing silence here? Seems like one runs off the end of runway somewhere about once a week. It's just not a big deal anymore. :p |
It is an aircaft which has a 'reputation'. Particularly in the US. For no reason in particular, just suffers from inexperienced owner pilots not flying to the numbers.
In this case professionally flown on a long runway I suspect there will be a technical problem reason for it. However I think you're looking to dig dirt by the sound of your post. Doesn't look like it was a huge deal at the end of the day thankfully. |
On Flyer Forum a Blackpool ATCO reports it written off.

I heard once that runway overruns are the #1 accident category for light jets.
As previous posters already said, I guess it's due to owner-pilots upgrading from a twin piston or turboprop. |
SGC,
I didn't realise the Blackpool ATCO was an insurance assessor too? Then again if its written on a forum it must be true :E:} PSF2J |
That particular ATCO has past experience of written off aircraft himself :hmm:
Still the report will be interesting reading. |
The airplane has developed a bad reputation. It's reflected in their prices on the used market. Same year and hours, are roughly half that of a CJ2. And I believe the Premier cost more when new.
