Everyone is trying to make more out of this than needs be. It appears to be an incident, thankfully one in which no one was hurt. None of us were there and we don't know what conditions that crew were dealing with. We do know that they are a highly trained professional crew. Enough of the Monday morning quarterbacking and let the investigation let us know what went wrong.

Within the last two or three years, Cessna and NJ have lifted the requirement to stow the T/Rs at 40kts, at least for the encore. It's no longer even a required callout.

don't really know about the encore maybe its different, but on the 500 series cessnas never really had a limitation on stowing the TR, rather the limitation was to have idle thrust with tr's deployed below 60 knots.

Easy Big Fella, you seem to be the one over reacting. Not one person has "Monday morning Quarterbacked" Not one person has been negative towards the crew or blamed them for anything.

I do not know about anyone else, but I review these things to learn. Not to sell out a crew. Citations are known to have a weak nose gear. Any Aircraft could have a hydraulic problem. The more we learn about other incidents, the more we know what to look for ourselves.
 
At least they won't be able to blame this one on pilot error! ...contributing factor that the F/O failed to get out and run along side the aircraft and hold the nose of the ground.:eek: Glad they walked away, and you can bet your sweet --- that they did all they could!:beer: It actually looks repairable.
 
Although you have to admit, its kinda sad when the media calls it a "rough landing" and someone on a pilot board calls it a "crash".

Shouldnt those positions be reversed?


Very true, but still no need to get all hysterical on the guy.
 
Line guys said no one was hurt. But right after it happened there seemed to be a serious effort to put a lid on the accident and not let any information out

Most everyone wants to keep these incidents or accidents out of the news. I remember seeing the FedEx DC10, that crashed and burned at MEM. They went out there and painted over the FED EX name. Still obvious whose plane it was.

And NJs at Telluride. I read that the nose wheel collapsed, but also heard that winds were not favorable. Was that a factor? I dont know.

I know of an incident where the pilots porpoised on landing so hard they broke the nose gear.

Anything is repairable. How much do you want to spend.
