B737 Atlas Blue skids off runway in Deauville (France)
 

Due to ice on the runway. No casualties.

I am not much of a French reader... Does the thread say that the flight originated in Marrakesh?
Thanks!

Yes. Arrived Deauville approx 07.40z

if you put 169 pax on a 737-300 (as the article says) then I'm not surprised it won't stop in the runway distance available.

On what technical basis do you make this comment?

Until all the evidence has been collected who knows? It's far to early to speculate as to the cause of this overrun.

In a later entry ( Of the above French forum) they mention a 737-400 and of 168 pax.
Not very familiar with 73s sitting configurations, but I guess a -400 can take 169?

does anyone have the weather and runway condition at the time the ac landed

Surely the "pompiers" (fire crew) didn't really take 'some 10 minutes' to arrive on the scene, as reported in the link report.

If my 'school-boy French' is still working, it says something about the Fire Services arriving after 10 minutes ... and they arrived 'on foot' because of the ice!

Nice pictures, though. It's on Airliners.Net already. Since when has a 15-foot (sorry, 5 metre) collapsible ladder been part of the escape equipment?

However, glad to hear that everyone got out okay.

Having recently been SLF on Atlas Blue and not been able to fit my legs behind the seat in front, I'd believe 169 on a -400!

Geezers

I think you will find that the quip about the pompiers arriving on foot was a joke.

what happened with the pilot?
 

hi everybody,

i would like to have some information if a accident happened with atlas blue flight?
what happened after the accident?
what about the aircraft?
the pilot?
does he still works for atlas blue?did he need to wait the investigation?
they were no people injured ...
please can anyone help me?
:confused:

Oh look! Another airline that has pay-to-fly co pilots has had an accident. At least nobody died this time!

Disclaimer: I'm not saying that is the reason for the accidents, but you have to wonder about the safety ethics of an airline who let hour builders fly their aircraft.

You don' t know what you are speaking about:mad:

No comment:ugh:

Involved with them (or BMM/8A) are you?

I do know what I'm speaking about and you just made "a comment" :rolleyes:

No , I am not.

But the minimum to apply to ATB as an F/O is 400 hrs on type and it is a Moroccan CAA requirement .( 750 hrs as captain). It is on every recruitment websites...have a look

So...no time builder in ATB
Sorry

AtlasBlue is owned by Royal Air Maroc who are a notorious hour builder airline.

I agree

But they fly only with RAM as far as I know.

By the way the crew(both highly experienced) of Deauville incident have been all cleared following the investigation.

i think it's apt that the national ploughing championship be held in France this year....getting loads of practice so far.

Those engines scooped up a load of muck judging by the spray on the fuselage from max reverse........that'll be costly.
