airplane off runway in CLE

[WWEfan]

FI's top ten list of reasons why the regional jet went off the runway:

10) FO was busy frosting his hair on final.

9) Crew was not dressed properly (left hats at home).

8) Crew was distracted by ipod video's, didn't see runway coming.

7) Crew was underpaid.

6) Republicans' fault.

5) Hilary's fault.

4) Jet Blue's fault.

3) Mesa's fault

2) Leather crew jackets.


Annnnnnd, Number 1):

Looks like the Rwy 28 localizer antenna bought the farm again.

Wasn't it destroyed a few years back by a cargo plane when the same thing happened? It took the airport quite a while to get it rebuilt and certified. That's going to cut the arrival rate quite a bit- looks like another winter of long EDCT times for Cleveland again. At least no one was hurt...

Lake Effect snow does not exist when the body of water is frozen.

dorking out

Classic dorks showing off their knowledge of an equation that the crew should have been working on Short final or possibly even the flare. This is not rocket science. there are charts for everything....can you pass me your multiplication tables captain?

OK so you obviously paid attention in your physics classes up there at Western, but did you skip the spelling class or what?

So, the pilots of SWA who ran off at the end at MDW had same qualifications and reasons?

just to save someone else some research. Rwy 28 is 6017ft and the weather at the time of arrival was

[FONT=Monospace,Courier]KCLE 181956Z 30016KT 1/4SM +SN BKN006 BKN015 OVC041 M07/M11 A3001 RMK AO2 P0000 $[/FONT]

[FONT=Monospace,Courier]But it just started snowing 20 min before that with light snow according to the metars. [/FONT]

1/4 mile vis? Does anyone have any charts handy? What are the mins to shoot the approach? 6000 ft is kind of short to be a CAT 2/3 runway. Also, does the 170 have autobrakes/autoland? Just wondering.

And I guess all the major airline pilots that have had accidents suffer from the same things. Could happen to anyone on any given day my friend.

METARs do not equal what reports the crew had from the tower or ATIS.

ATIS is always overriding factor. Until it has been changed that is what is legal to the FAA and NTSB. The rest is hearsay.

ATIS means nothing if the controller gives something different. If you are on final and ATIS say vis is 1/4 mile or 1400 RVR, then ATC comes on and says that vis is up to 1/2 or 1800, then you use what ATC says. These guys probably got an update from the tower on the vis while on approach.
