Managing director at the airport, Graham Keddie, said the aircraft had landed "right at the wrong time" and "stopped right in the wrong place". Good that nobody was hurt and that a/c is likely to be used again. ;) |
What happened to burst >1 tyre?
|
What a fabulous piece of planning to end up on the intersection and so closing both runways. Must have made life difficult for the opposition but maybe they had already got there earlier.
|
Acft registered to ASL, previously registered to TNT, still in TNT colours. So ASL are TNT then. Did I miss the press announcement.....must have been snoozing in some god awful hotel that day, as it seems I am most days....these days....
|
If I remember correctly [doubtful] that's what used to happen on the Aerodrome Control Rating examination many years ago.......the incident aircraft always stopped on the intersection leaving the candidate with no runway and a bit of quick thinking to do!!! As they say now 'happy days'!!
|
IIRC Most landing aircraft take the short runway to taxi in. Maybe it was only when they tried to turn off that the problem reared its head.

Then there was the Parcelforce Viscount forgot to lower the u/c on a training detail, brand new propellers probably worth more than the airframe which was later scrapped on site. |
Correct! For jets, it's normally a right turn at the intersection and then right on to Charlie taxiway. Lighter stuff normally brake short enough to turn right on to bravo well before the intersection, though I think a few 737s have managed to brake hard enough for bravo from time to time :O
|
Depending on the landing weight and headwind, we sometimes vacate at Bravo in 319/320's.
|
Seems to be quite few of these old 737s coming to grief recently, is it time they had an appointment with a Stihl saw!
|
It's not old! DC-3's are still flying, somewhere....
|
Well, it's younger than some of BA's 744s.
|
It's only 24 years old. N707ZS was scrapped after approximately 35 years service ;)
