Metro overrun YBAF
 
OGX off the end at AF yesterday in the rain.

MakeItHappenCaptain 23rd Jan 2014 22:57

Was NOT off the end...:=

megle2 23rd Jan 2014 23:39

I heard off enough to get bogged
Landed 28 and off LHS just past abeam wind sock

wishiwasupthere 24th Jan 2014 00:04

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

MakeItHappenCaptain 24th Jan 2014 00:28

If it was on 28, then it was off RHS.

Who is operating it?

megle2 24th Jan 2014 03:37

Make that RW10

Who is operating it?
Diddle-us, I am told.

see the thread on Pacific General Aviation :)

Creampuff 24th Jan 2014 08:08

And ppruners criticise journalists for reporting crap!

Jeez folks. Maybe saying nothing is the better option. :rolleyes:

Seriously 24th Jan 2014 08:49

Used to be owned by Complete Aviation from Perth, not sure if it still is?

falconx 24th Jan 2014 09:00

Leased to FIFO jet?
Unlucky for Stuart

Wally Mk2 24th Jan 2014 09:16

...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:E

Fifo Jet 24th Jan 2014 10:40

Falconx.

Not leased to Fifo Jet. :ugh:

megle2 24th Jan 2014 20:50

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

Capt Fathom 24th Jan 2014 21:04


it ground looped , interesting to see his landing limits on a wet runway with load

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!


Where are you going with this. :confused:

TBM-Legend 24th Jan 2014 21:17

shot a couple of very low bad weather circuits prior to landing. Stressful situation I would imagine...

MakeItHappenCaptain 24th Jan 2014 22:03


Where are you going with this.
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.

Spot on, Creamie.:ok:

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.

That's quite a statement you got there matey.
