How these guys got hired at Mesa, I have no idea

How about the most Famous Mesa Approach Brief-------

On approach to ROA at Night and Gusty winds to 33. Female Captain to Female First Officer "Go Around is No Option".

That's f***ed up!

Let me ask you this....why do you feel the need to point out "female"? What's your point with that?
Either way it was a completely reckless and dangerous attitude right there.

 

[say again]

And the next crew had a tailstrike!?!?! WTF!!!!

Ok here are the pics a friend sent me, they were sent to him by a mx guy. As a disclaimer, these are not my pictures and I am not taking credit for them.

Outside looks good, captain. Lets go flying...

Flyer you are right about the DH changing to a MDA but the FAA would look at it you were cleared for an ILS not a LOC and if the GS fails you should notify ATC, level off at your current altitude until the missed approach point then go missed. I asked my POI about it and he said you "could" try to turn it into a LOC approach only if you were just inside the FAF.

I think you will find that you would still be cleared for an ILS approach if that is the title of the procedure. If the ground equipment is the failed component the controller may add that the Glide Slope is inoperative. If it is your equipment that has failed the controller certainly is not going to say "by the way, your glide slope is inop". But the clearance will still be for an ILS approach in either case. Smart money still always starts the time at the appropriate point and pre-briefs loss of glide slope so as to avoid a go-around. If the wx clearly precludes continuing with a non-precision approach then so brief it. The arguement that one must be recleared for a "LOC only" approach is bogus. If your ops specs, FOM or whatever say you must fly a missed approach with G/S failure past the G/S intercept then of course you must but I really have never seen that in writing.

Wow. Anyone have an NTSB report for this? Or the Canadian version of NTSB report?

Have you guys thought of bringing this kind of stuff to the attention of the public? A well published web page with a few of the photos I have seen here along with a well written rational piece detailing the state of the regional industry could frighten the public enough to try and change the airlines for the better. For pilots and passengers. Letters to the editor could accomplish this as well.

This stuff scares me. I don't have to airline that often either.

Bushwickbill..... too funny! GetoBoys! I think I had a couple of there CD's back in the day! Enjoy!!
