DL B757 Hard Landing at PDL

I don't have facebook. But it should show up on AvHerald eventually.
|
Badly bent indeed. Wonder what happened |
I think this one works even for non Facebook accounts

Photos here of creasing to both fuselage and wing skins. Looks DBER to me.
|
My apologies Dave... DBER Stands for..?
|
Damaged Beyond Economic Repair or more commonly used BER (Beyond Economic Repair) |
damaged beyond repair, I dare to presume. |
Damage looks reminiscent of the Monarch one at GIB some years ago - which was fixed, but times have moved on and this is apparently a 23 year-old airframe.
|
Like the monarch in Gib?
dont think so. I was part of the team that went to Gib and it wasn’t as bad as this one. |
FYI On average, airliners are retired after around 25 years. Presently, the average age of an airliner in North America is 14.1 years.
|
Surprised this doesn't make more headlines. Delta breaking an airframe is newsworthy. Also what about the passengers / crew ? This wasn't a smooth one...

Something special with PDL? (Nice to know when diverting Mid-Atlantic) |
[
Seasonal flight by Delta. Azores are holiday destinations. Punta Delgado airport has single runway in excess of 8000 feet. |
Straight-in approach on Rwy 12 (no ILS, 1% downward slope).
