Comair Emergency in CVG on 6/30/05

[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!

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???

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

Their TR's were prematurely deployed.

Their TR's were prematurely deployed.

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

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

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

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

Not such a stupid observation after all.

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.

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.

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.

Try PWM. Portland, ME and yes Comair flies there from Cincy

I love when they get deployed!

Hey everyone, greetings. This is my first post here so don't beat me up too bad. I believe this is two seperate incidents. I was departing CVG that day also and heard the Delta Mainline flight returning due to the pressurization problems. They landed on runway 27, tower said something to the effect that the pilots requested it due to the wind. Anyway, I don't know about the comair flight. Haven't heard anything about that. Not too unusual to have a precautionary landing where the firetrucks follow you down the runway. They like to get out of that firehouse afterall. As far as them deploying the thrust reversers, that doesn't mean much. We are able to fly with a thrust reverser deferred and still use the remaining one on landing. Don't notice too much difference on the landing, just need to use a little more rudder than normal. Anyway, hope this helps to clear up some of the speculation.

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???

I was a non-rev on this flight. It was a precautionary landing for a gear disagree message. No biggie. The trucks like to roll for anything out of the ordinary.

 

[jrmyl]

The trucks like to roll for anything out of the ordinary.

Exactly. Just yesterday there was a Comair flight came in with hydraulic system 1 inop. All that does is you lose the outboard ground spoilers, no biggie. Yet they had every firetruck available sitting out there waiting to pounce on them as they landed.

yesterday evening in MKE, a Midwest Airlines flight was chocked and stopped on a taxiway. A Midex van and the airport authorities were out there...it almost looked like a traffic stop for a speeding ticket.

I think if you're around aviation a short time, you'll see something like this...just pilots doing the right thing, following their ops manual and being cautious. You wouldn't want to be like those NWA guys that got into a fender bender with another airliner. When that little voice inside your head is telling you to do the right thing, it's usually for a reason.
