EJA/Hawker Midair w/ Glider....Everyone OK - Merged!

[Dr Pokenhiemer]

The Hawker in your video lands on Runway 9 and comes to a stop just after the intersection of the crossing runway. Carson City has a runway 9, but no intersecting runway. This is how rumors get started, making you look like an India Delta 10 Tango.

Try LAS 19L. Slides all the way to the numbers of 1R. .. .. .. Runway is 9775 feet long.

c) Transponder-on operation. While in the airspace as specified in paragraph (b) of this section or in all controlled airspace, each person operating an aircraft equipped with an operable ATC transponder maintained in accordance with §91.413 of this part shall operate the transponder, including Mode C equipment if installed, and shall reply on the appropriate code or as assigned by ATC.

10 points to LJ45!

It will be interesting to see what the FAA and NTSB make of this accident.

The Alexander Schleicher Gmbh & Co. ASG 29 flew for the first time on 9 November 2005 and does not yet have an STC for transponder operation. Great glider, I'd really like to have one.

No Smelly Cat, no even close. First of all Carson City doesn't have a tower and secondly that is from a 800 that had a gear up landing in LAS oh around 6 or 7 years ago.

Not to mention that the Hawker in the video actually still has its nose attached.

Field approvals are easy enough.

This is from the NTSB website...Remember, this is just preliminary...

Leaving your fully functional transponder OFF, simply because you're UNAWARE of the state of your batteries, is a pretty piss-poor-excuse! BUT, he had that comm radio....what good it did him only he knows. But I bet it's pretty safe to say that if he gets in a ship with a transponder, it'll be on, as it should be!

Agreed. He should have had that transponder on....no excuse for that at all.

Raytheon seatbelts suk

Gutshot is absolutely correct about Hawkers and G's... Got close to 4 yrs. in the 800 series Hawkers and I can tell you that they are indeed flying tanks.

Built like brick $hithouses. They were lucky to be flying one.

If it is built like a brick $hithouse, then why cant they make decent seat belts?

Hawker in Midair Had Seat Belt Failure[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
As the Raytheon Hawker 800XP that on August 28 collided with a sailplane in Nevada prepared to land (AINalerts, August 29), one of the jet’s passengers cinched up his seat belt and the inboard portion of the belt fitting detached. The passenger moved to another seat and the same thing happened again. The NTSB has notified the primary maintenance inspector at NetJets, the company that operated the Hawker, and the Raytheon completions center in Little Rock, Ark., to check the rest of the Hawker fleet. At press time, the NTSB investigator in charge told AIN that no further failures had been found. “It would be inappropriate for us to comment at this time,” a Raytheon Aircraft spokesman told AIN. “Raytheon Aircraft Company is actively working with the NTSB during its investigation. We anticipate complete cooperation in those efforts and will incorporate any recommended actions, if necessary, to ensure continued safety for our operators.” [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
