WEST GOSHEN, Pa. -- Emergency crews were on the scene of an accident where a plane went off of the runway at Brandywine Airport in Chester County.

The plane crashed after trying to take off.

Only the pilot was on board.

Wow it didn't take long for the first Eclipse crash to happen.

 

[LegacyDriver]

RIP.

I hope this isn't the start of a trend.

 

[Joe Jet Pilot]

"No injuries were reported."

RIP.

I hope this isn't the start of a trend.

 

[LegacyDriver]

Whew.

Still hope it isn't the start of a trend.

 

[Joe Jet Pilot]

Whew.

Still hope it isn't the start of a trend.

What would you have done different?

Huh????????? No one said he did anything wrong. Where did that come from.

I personally have my doubts about the eclipse.

WEST GOSHEN, Pa. -- ...The plane crashed after trying to take off.

Airport officials said an Eclipse 500 was landing when something went wrong.

Am I missing something in those two statements????

Exactly.

I wasn't saying the guy screwed up. I wasn't referring to him at all. I'm just hoping the fact that an ECLIPSE CRASHED is not the start of a trend of MANY ECLIPSE CRASHES.

Geeze.

There will be. And many, many million-dollar payouts from insurance and negligence suits regardless of the investigative outcome.

FAA might wanna re-think single-pilot cert.

Curious to see why he went off the runway.

Because there wasn't enough runway. if there had been, he wouldn't have run off the end of it.

Jeezzz, do I have to do ALL the thinking on these boards?

many Citations are single pilot certified and you dont see this happening, you just see them taxiing around in lakes after they overshoot their landing!

The runway at Brandywine is pretty narrow and could possibly give pilots wrong impression that they are too high. I once landed a Navajo there with a 15 knots cross wind and I used up the whole runway.

Two to one odds that this thread goes to four pages before saturday, and the words "doctor" and "bonanza" will be used in the same sentence.

I went to the doctor this morning and had lunch afterwards at Bonanza steak house......

Single pilot cert means nothing, there have been runway overruns from two pilot crew in the past and will be in the future.

As long as humans are in the loop, we will have crashes.

But two pilots is always better than one, even when both pilots are substandard pilots.

Single pilot jets operate in the same airspace and at the same airports that two-crew airplanes operate in, having one pilot, after 50 years of having two pilots in turbine powered planes, as far as I'm concerned, is not the smartest and safest environment.

Thats all I'm saying.
