PSA runs off runway during a aborted takeoff at CRW!

Republic blows.

The 700's nosegear had to be replaced after they got done towing it out of the mud if I remember correctly

It was damaged, but not from the overrun. The word I heard was that the damage came from the tow out of the grass.


Also, so far as the numbers from the ACARS, I vaguely remember some language somewhere that mentioned that the numbers from the ACARS were 'optimized' to include the stopway and clearway in performance calculations. If my memory serves (doubtful, but possible), this was something that ASA didn't do in times past.

 

[Abernathy]

They may include the stopway and clearway based on *distance* but do not take into account the opposing force and friction that EMAS provides, so it's a moot point in this case. Without the EMAS the plane would have dashed right off the end of the runway and probably ended up in a flaming wreckage some ways down considering it was probably just fueled before it took off.

I just want to know what the reason for the abort was and, perhaps more importantly, why the calculations didn't work (assuming they aborted prior to V1). Not only did the calculations not work, they failed miserably. If the reports are anywhere near correct, they were apparently going fast enough to plow through most of the EMAS before coming to a stop.

Ha ha! The Pot Plane! I lived in CRW back then!

If the reports are anywhere near correct, they were apparently going fast enough to plow through most of the EMAS before coming to a stop.

Looking at the video someone posted earlier, it looks like they went less than 100' past the threshold. Either they were fairly slow when they entered the EMAS, or that stuff works really well.

Does max antiskid braking leave marks like this? I am not sure. I would not think so.

Don't think it would. My guess is they didn't work

 

[Flyin2low]

AntiSkid on the CRJ200 is operational down to 10kts wheel speed. It does look suspicious.

 

[DC8Driver]

Listened to the ATC feed and it sounds like it might have been bird ingestion.

Where can you listen to this at?

 

[JimmyKool]

Don't think it would. My guess is they didn't work

I wonder if during a high speed abort if the tires get so gouey that they just leave marks. Otherwise it looks like it didn't work. Scary shi*

Pants replacement needed around the 5er......................

This is going to be interesting to see and hear the details on. Hopefully, our traning department is looking at this and taking notes for recurrent- I've often wondered about this event prior to this debacle. Next time into CRW, take a look at the amount of runway left at V1 when you take off from runway 23. Do you honestly think you'd stop the RJ on that much pavement without the EMAS? I don't think so...............

V1

Does PSA call V1 right at V1 or V1 -5?

They will have to review this. Sometimes the Go decisions is better then the no go one.
If they hit V1, and still had a engine then they shoulda' went. But then again I have absolutely no details at all on what happened.
Just glad everyone is safe and the plane had mininumal damage.

Could it have been a flap config warning? The flaps are up in both pictures.
