Eclipse crash on takeoff

[transampilot]

Just to put some performance numbers out there, for an Eclipse 500 E.T.T. aircraft (post sn 38). At 33 degrees Celsius 1000 ft p.a. landing distance at 4500 lbs = 3094 feet uncorrected for wind or slope. I do not know if he used rwy 9 or 27, but the available landing distance rwy 27 is 3097 with a 1 percent downslope. This airplane does not like to stop. NO TR's, or antiskid, and tires that have a habit of popping when you don't baby them. The beginning of that error chain may have started with the decision to go into that airport.

I personally have my doubts about the eclipse.

If you only knew the half of it...

No anti skid brakes
No TR's
No speed brakes
Airspeed control is critical on final or it floats forever

NO ANTI-SKID??? MY F*&%$ING Toyota has anti-skid breakes!!!! Do you drag your feet (a la Fred Flintstone) to stop???

many Citations are single pilot certified and you dont see this happening, you just see them taxiing around in lakes after they overshoot their landing!

ha ha ha ha ha!!! like this idiot!!

I wonder how this new air taxi thing is gonna work out. Especially in light of the fuel situation.

Did I miss something with that video? Looks like 17L at KAPA which is 10,000 feet and someone getting instruction in a Adam 700. I saw nothing dangerous in that video.

Yeah, he's a dummy too. It worked out, it was VFR, hopefully no passengers, but its just poor flying skills to dive a turbine powered airplane like that on very short final. His time may be coming.
