Comair Emergency in CVG on 6/30/05

[Mu2Driver]

I was waiting to depart CVG on 27 when Comair came in with an emergency on 36R at about 1310 local. Looked like they deployed the TRs on landing and the trucks followed him all the way down the runway. Anyone know what it was all about???

 

[bandit110]

Wow they depolyed the TR's............must be serious.

 

[Ice Hawk]

I hope everyone is OK.

Delta Flight Has To Turn Back To CVG

Cabin Did Not Pressurize Fully, Airline Says

UPDATED: 7:49 pm EDT July 1, 2005


CINCINNATI -- A Delta Air Lines plane had to come back after takeoff from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport Friday afternoon, News 5's Juliette Vara reported.

Flight 1661 to Portland returned because the cabin did not reach pressurization, Delta said.

Ambulances were standing by. Three people were examined at the airport, but no one was taken to a hospital, Vara reported.

Passengers were cold, but there were no injuries.

All passengers were rebooked on a new aircraft scheduled to take off at about 8:30 p.m.

The plane will have to be recertified by the Federal Aviation Administration before it can fly again.

What are TR's?

 

[Flechas]

What are TR's?

Thrust reversers.

FYI: You may want to know things like that before showing up to an interview!

That is why I am asking

Of course, because if you forget to deploy them in a Seneca you may run out of runway.

I'm sure she knows what a Thrust reverser is, but not everyone is framiliar with "TR".

Could also be Transformer Rectifier, if he was asked what a TR was out of context, more than one meaning for all these vowless words.

Isnt that what Kobe did to that chick in Colorado? Reverse Thrust

How does a cabin, "reach" pressurization?

 

[TrafficInSight]

How does a cabin, "reach" pressurization?

I don't know but if it doesn't you have to turn around and deploy the TR's on landing.

On the way home from the airport yesterday, I saw a guy on the side of the road removing a tire from his vehicle and putting another one on in its place. It was on I-75/85 N in Atlanta. Anyone know what happened???

 

[Snakum]

TR's?

T!ttie restrainers. And I'm ag'in em.

The news said he busted his knuckles to the fare-thee-well, but finished up and continued to his destination without incident. But you know how those media types are.

Haha!

In the Lear 35, cruising at FL410, you set the pressurization for FL440 (always 1,000 feet above assigned altitude). The cabin should pressurize to about 5800-6000 feet. If the cabin pressure only shows 3000 feet, it hasn't "reached" the desired pressure. If this happens and you return for landing, someone will eventually start a thread on this board about it. lol Hope that kind of answers your question. Depending on you altitude, this could be dangerous. Nothing would happen down low (below 10K), but at high altitudes this problem could be fatal.

Anyone have a link to "Mental Math for Pilots"?

And Doc? Um, I'm pretty sure that if the cabin pressure shows 3000 feet at FL410, it's already 'reached' the desired pressure and then some. The windows'll start popping out pretty soon.

Wow. You can't make this stuff up. Oh wait, they did make it up.

 

[Ailerongirl]

Wait a sec...MU2Driver said he saw Comair come back in with an emergency, but YOURNAMEHERE posted a news articel about a mainline flight to PDX.

So..I'm confused...was it a Delta mainline, flight and MU2Driver saw wrong, or a Comair flight, and the news article got it wrong.....

I was thinking the same thing, the only RJ I've ever seen fly into PDX with delta colors was an ASA aircraft.....by the way this thread has me laughing so hard the girl I'm working with thinks I'm crazy, keep it up!

Nevermind. It was on all the news channels. Apparently his tire didn't reach pressurization.

Their TR's were prematurely deployed.

 

[ArcticFlier]

Their TR's were prematurely deployed.

Maybe they need to see a doctor about that. There is help nowadays.

That what I was thinking. What did they need to get stopped for?

 

[400A]

Maybe not, but it sure indicated that both engines were running, indicating that was not the problem.

Not such a stupid observation after all.

Seems like it "reached" the desired pressure to me. More like the cabin is now overpressured. But you're right...at high altitudes this could be fatal.

 

[FracCapt]

Not necessarily. Some aircraft have accumulators that will allow one TR deployment and retraction cycle, regardless of whether the engine is running or not. I'm not familiar with the RJ, so I can't comment on that system on that aircraft.

I can definitely tell you this much....I sure as hell don't ever want to be on an RJ flying a trip as long as CVG to PDX!

Did not know that. Guess the drag would help some.
