Aurigny Off Rwy @ Brs
 

Aurigny Aircraft Off The Rwy At Brs - A/c Went Off the side and Stuck In Mud - Noticed Another Thread About Ezy At Brs On 22nd! - No Other Details As Yet....

Is BRS Closed? Whats the situation now?

Must be,taking diversions here at Cardiff ezy 319 landed couple of mins ago.

Correction - I've just had a divert to BHX - RWY is being resurfaced and there's a slippy patch in the middle that my Captain mentioned is quite smooth and they had 'problems' controlling the aircraft on takeoff with the x-winds......It sounds like the Aurigny a/c hit this patch and exited stage left onto the grass!!
a/c moved off at around 1345 - airfield should be open soon - ATR-72 I think

Why has the word "issue" replaced the word "problem" in the English language?

word correction
 

altered just for you...

Bristol re-opened around 1440

Yaeh & just managed to get me lunch!:yuk:

Aurigny (and certainly their passengers) not having a lot of fun today - Gatwick flights delayed by 96, 174 and 56 mins each, so far......anyone any idea whats up? I need to get off the rock on Sunday.......

At a guess there a plane short !

ho! ho! - though since the Gatwick delays started before the BRS excursion I doubt thats the reason.......the first two delays were before the BRS flight left Guernsey, so something else was up......

Weather problems. Cross winds at Bristol and Gatwick are causing problems at both airfields, I surmise this was the cause of the ATR going farming at BRS.
It was interesting at Jer this AM 1000ft wind 210/40 surface wind 170/18 QNT30

Normal day ..if u a Channel Island Pilot u are used to these winds!!

The BBC (so it must be true...:} ) says the excursion happened while taxiing....I wonder if Bliar was onboard......

2 Tech ATR's at GCI I believe. Aurigny are using ATR42 G-CDFF & Titan 737 G-ZAPM today....

no spotters there to share us some pics, what a shame :{

anyway, what was the wind like ?

I landed at BRS tonight and it WAS pretty rough!!

I saw a (I think) My Travel 757 make a horrendous approach- it obviously got caught by a gust in the flare and 'wing-rocked' really badly. From my vantage point (in the staff car park) it could well have hit its No.2 engine or RH wing, it looked that low. It went around (thankfully)- did anyone else see it and has there been any further problems there? I trust it landed safely soon after.

No 757's left at MyTravel, must have been another carrier.

For photos.

Could it have been a A321 or something? They look much the same and it was dark! The aircraft was moving quite fast, but it did look like My Travel.
