Off runway at Buffalo
Only serious damage to the grass:
Plane goes off runway at Buffalo Niagara International Airport - Story |
this is an interesting one. especially that one passenger reports circling at least 3 times.
simply put, the winds were favoring runway 23 I think, though I don't have them handy to post, someone else showed them somewhere else. one comment indicated the pilot blamed windshear. if i am not mistaken , this type of plane does not have leading edge devices. I hope we get a report out of this one. |
That plane does have leading edge devices. The 50 seat CRJ does not.

I landed in Buffalo that night about an hour and a half prior to that accident. I can't figure out why they landed 32 with the winds favoring 23. They would have had a tail wind, slight component, for 32 based on the reported winds.
There was a line of weather west of BUF when we landed, that may have been a factor. KBUF weather: KBUF 080354Z 22013G22KT 10SM BKN046 OVC060 21/16 A2977 RMK AO2 RAB13E53 SLP079 P0004 T02110161 |
