UX off the runway in ottawa

[GCAP]

Do you honestly expect any more from TSA?

Actually, back in '97 '98 I had several DL new hires from TSA for IOE.
I was a line check guy, doing the OEs on the 73-200.
The TSA guys were very good---well trained and very professional.
I had a couple a few years later on the -88 and they were just as good.
I hope TSA training has kept up, but I doubt it.

TSA training is one of the worst in the industry. I was learning new procedures and call outs on my checkride. You'll be lucky if you know what you're supposed to be doing by the time you enter the line.

So you would have refused to land on runway 25 assuming you had plenty of performance? Let me help you, you would have attempted the same landing. It's easy to second-guess every decision, but if they had the performance, the decision to land on 25 is ok.

What good is performance if you have no means of stopping? If I was in that crew I would have at least brought up the possibility of landing on the longer runway since no thrust reverses were available and there was heavy rain reported.

Psh, come at me bro.

oh yes, once I enter the line I find much information.

Whoa, bro, it's called studying remember?

It's that thing you did in school besides drink and chase after sorority women...if that was your thing.

The only people who failed out were those who either didn't take advantage of the study groups at the Pear Tree, actually CALL the mentors on the list given out on day 1, or didn't spend 30-60 minutes in the paper whore at Flight Safety.

Come on bro....you can do better than that.





Son....I am disappoint.

Sorry CX880, I gotta have to raise the bs flag on that one*. The training department is probably the toughest and meanest one out there, but they were very strict with SOPs, right from the beginning. If you survived the training at TSA, you were looked at like you came from hell and back (literally!). Talking to other RJ guys at different regionals, I must say that spoon-feeding does not exist in TSA's training department vocabulary.

* <- there could be an exception to the rule, and that is if you had had a FS guy for your training. Some were not up to date with TSA SOPs and caused a little bit of tension.

heavy rain reported, eh?

(I have to admit that I am not familiar anymore with the remarks section)

Before jumping to conclusions, let's hope the crew recovers quickly. The Emb-145 has had a few issues with the anti-skid, so let's cool down before damning the crew!

Im sick and freaking tired of those of you who are moronic enough to get on here and attribute the cause for an accident or incident to "well it was a colgan crew, or well it was a TSA crew"....get a freaking life, there are good and bad stick pilots at EVERY airline, yes even you immortal Mesaba pilots could have made the same mistake as this TSA crew did. Chances are, they accepted the landing clearance on 25 bc the performance numbers were completley within the normal realm of operation, even in heavy rain with no reversers. Maybe the anti-skid was deferred, wet is not contaminated, id still never think twice about landing there. Furthermore, after all of the furloughs and downgrades over at TSA, chances are better than not that this was a fairly senior and experienced crew. It could have happened to EVERY one of you that sit here and point fingers. The crew probably did everything in theyre power to keep it on the concrete, despite having a late touchdown (which we have ALL done). Rant complete..lets not crucify these guys until we know the facts.

That may be true, but the Canadians are very good at putting down overlays that offer better traction...

youve never landed in Canada in the winter on a snow covered runway, have you.

It's the only time I've had nil braking. Not the whole time, just at the end, when trying to pull off the rwy.
