Off the side of 28 is better than off the end! It's a big drop off off the end of 28.

And ppruners criticise journalists for reporting crap!

Jeez folks. Maybe saying nothing is the better option.

...ahh come on 'creamy' have you not ever gotten any facts wrong?:-) Maybe there's a lot of budding journos in here
Besides what's the point of a thread that has accurate facts straight up, I mean it would be boring to read & so un-Prrune like

Could it just be assymmetric deceleration and pilot couldn't hold it straight on a wet runway. Don't know anything about Metro's but from what I hear it was only just off to the left of RW

anyone with finer details yet as to what happened?
Overloaded and underperformed on wet runway
Flyhigh214sm, interesting observations from NZ... if that's where you are!

He's doing circuits.

214,
That's very dangerous (ie. libel can get expensive) territory you're stepping into.
Suggest you read the sticky about responsibility and anonymity.

NOTICE: You are responsible for the content you post. This is a public forum. Treat it as if you are speaking in a crowded room. Recent high-profile defamation events illustrate that there are ways in which third parties can force personal data, including contents of personal messages, to be released by bulletin board owners. Be careful - libelous/defamatory posts can and have landed members in legal hot water. PPRuNe will not guarantee your anonymity in such situations.
Spot on, Creamie.

If it's true you fly a Commercial Baron out of YBAF, You are one of very few… Be careful not to back yourself into a corner! Unless you were in it don't criticise from the armchair. FIFO Jet is a lessor not an operator so hardly involved.
