G-IV overrun CYQX

[BoilerUP]

But I thought Gulfstreams, with their massive brakes & thrust reversers, didn't go off wet/contaminated runways...

Police say a small plane carrying six people went off the end of a runway in Gander, N.L., on Saturday, apparently because of rainy weather.
The aircraft skidded off the runway at Gander International Airport around 6 p.m. NT and stopped in the grass, about a metre past the end of the tarmac, an RCMP release said.
There was no damage to the 22-seat Gulfstream IV and no one on board was hurt.
The pilot indicated certain equipment was failing as he tried to stop and believed he couldn't because of runway and weather conditions, but provided no further details, police said. It was windy and raining at the time.
The plane was en route from the Netherlands and was refuelling in Gander before continuing on a flight to Palm Beach, Fla.
The aircraft, registered to Ashton Aviation in Seattle, Wash., was pulled back onto the runway and resumed its trip to the U.S. around 9:30 p.m. NT.

[say again]

Ya can't blame a plane for pilot mistakes!!:laugh::beer:

 

[stupidpilot]

8900' or 10200' feet of runway how could you run off the end of that? I wonder what happened.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

Hell yeah, pull it out of the mud and continue. Even after "certain equipment failing"



22 seat GIV. Now thats gotta be comfy. Big windows and all.

 

[con-pilot]

Good thing it was a G-V, if it had been a Falcon 900 or 7X, it would probably still be going.

Provided nothing broke, maybe not getting down in the touch-down-zone.

GIV.


and if it was a 7X they wouldn't have needed a lameass fuel stop (in an arctic dump like Gander) on a chip shot like EHAM-KPBI....

Now that's a good one, I almost spilled my burnt FBO coffee laughing

Even if they didn't land until 1/2 way down the runway they still should've been able to stop I would think. Not too many guys around that are flying a G-IV that would be making a rookie mistake like that.

...we'd still be stuck @ EHAM, most likely due to yet another FCS test fail.

Nothing a few reboots and a browse through the PAL/FGDA wont fix! or maybe Load 12.

BTW - I'd kill to be on the Gallatin right now also...

Like A G6 - Hook Poppin bottles in the ice like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard

The Madison's been smokin' lately, especially down in the Bear Trap. The Gallatin's always pretty good. Even when it's bad...it's still pretty good.

Reaching for the PAL is a conditioned response for us now, the three things we do now when the CAS lights up are:

1. Reach for the PAL
2. Take a pic with our phone of the Status Page to send to our
mechanic and Tim Noble.
3. Figure out how many days out trip is going to be extended if the
universal solution "Reinitialize" doesn't clear things up. PFM, man.

I'm out east man...we are into Steelhead right now but I do love a Montana trip, if I would ever get another....

Knock on wood (or a few MAU's/Selmons/CMCs etc..) but we have had a pretty trouble free plane so far.

Enjoy the fish!

The airplane is certified to a max of 22 occupants. I guarantee the airplane didn't have 22 seats. Typical media ignorance when it comes to reporting aviation incidents.

As for the rest, well.....

GIV brakes and tires are marginal. I'm just sayin'...

That's funny...

You should know, you've flown the others. I just didn't like how it stopped. YMMV.

Maybe that dirt bag Craig Frost was flying it..........he took one off in Van Nuys...maybe he did a contract trip on this one......lol

 

[PilotKitch]

My thoughts exactly..... especially being operated as a Part 135 aircraft.

Rumor has it the operator "Crystal Air/VNY" and the crew are not speaking about the "occurance"......
