Due to OTHER / EMERGENCY, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Philadelphia International Airport, Philadelphia, PA (PHL). To see if you may be affected, select your departure airport and check "Delays by Destination".

General Arrival Delays: Due to RWY: Disabled Aircraft, arrival traffic is experiencing airborne delay between 31 minutes and 45 minutes and increasing.

JHope All pax and crew are safe and without injury....

Werd! <--- that means "echoing the sentiment."

I'm willing to give a blind "kudos and job well done" before the facts come out, thus:

Strong work.

 

[En Mort Main]

Teletype from US Airways in the dispattch office confirms aircraft landed wheels up. Phl airport is now reopened on extended delays. Runway of accident expecting extended closure. Word is no injuries reported yet.

 

[Sig]

Keep updating.

Again, strong work to the crew involved.

says left main would not come down. 3 people on board - ferry flight?

 

[say again]

Crash landing?? gimme a break.

Correct me if I am wrong but that thing looks black. Air Wis doen't have any painted like that do they? PSA?

 

[BoilerUP]

The 3 "blue tops" were pieces of shiz anyway...

I had a left MLG that didn't want to come down in RDU a couple years ago...it ended somewhat differently than this though.

Nice job to the crew!

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Great job to the AWAC crew involved! Hope y'all get lots of paid for beers tonight!

We still have 3 that are painted in the blue top.

Metal can always be either fixed or discarded without tragedy. All's well that ends well.

Whoever this Vince Lattanzio wiener is who wrote the story: his grammar and punctuation is as bad, if not worse, than some you see here in FI's hallowed halls.

Not that I'm the nefarious grammar police, but you would think (incorrectly, apparently) that a so-called professional writer would actually know how to construct a sentence. You would also think (again apparently incorrectly) that a professional copy editor would correct it before it went out.

Blue top AWAC aircraft. Three crew, no pax on board. Left main did not come down. Crew got it stopped on the runway and evacuated on the runway, with about 3000 ft of runway remaining on 27L. Cleanup was still ongoing at 10pm, and the aircraft was still on the runway at 8...did not get close enough to see it after that time. From what I did see while taxiing past, damage will be as minimal as possible given the situation.

Nice work guys...:beer:

 

[WalterSobchak]

Sounds like nice work by the crew...

A little disappointed at the lack of the words "need the deets" in this thread, though.

 

[SLUF4]

Not much info, but here's the initial report

[LowlyPropCapt]

DEETS! We need Deets!

That better Sobchak?

 

[say again]

DEETS! We need Deets!

That better Sobchak?

I hate that term, and Im sure Im not the only one!!!

Bombardier will do next

Change the landing gear extinsion speed to prevent this from happening too. Highest regards to the crew.

 

[jimcav]

I saw it unfold from the top of the jetway at D14. They did a nice job.

Good call! Flaps arent enough and instead of fixing the actuator they just restrict your extension speed. "uhhh maybe this will work!"


Side note: That AWAC plane was the 3rd emergency aircraft in a row that landed in PHL last night. We were there waiting for departure and American came in "fuel emergency". 3 miles behind them US mainline came in "fuel emergency".

Air Wis was the third. Never have I heard of three commercial aircraft emergency landings in a row. Not to mention the question of how the fuel emergencies got to that point, because PHL was running fairly smoothly prior to the emer declares.

In the report:
Make/Model: CL60
Description: CL-600/601/604 Challenger

There is no differentiation between CL-60/ CL-65? Different type rating.
