Live on the news Express Jet ERJ-145 gear/tire problems

On the local news here in Dallas there is a Express Jet ERJ-145 that blew both tires on the left main gear on takeoff and there is nothing left I guess on the rim. Will be attempting a landing here shortly.......

Heehee, well at least John King is more of an aviation expert than the folks they usually have on there.

Well now they are asking wether or not they will foam the runway.

Now they at least have a retired US Air pilot talking on CNN. No if the news anchor would stop interjecting is opinion and let the guy talk, I wouldn't be fighting the urge to throw soemtihng at the TV.

Now they're asking why not fly the entire route and deal with the problem in Minni

Touchdown!

Sweet. Pic-perfect landing.

(now would be a good time to call your girlfriend, your wife, your chief pilot, then ALPA . . .in that order.)

 

[wmuflyguy]

They are down safely, Very well done.

No...call ALPA first. Put your girlfriend and you wife on confrence call and come clean with both of them, then thank God. After that, your Chief Pilot should be notified. Crew scheduling is leaving voicemails all the while to make sure you'll be available for your next turn.

Just goes to show, you never know when the real checkride is coming.

Obviously a good job and it worked out well; I am just kind of wondering why they didn’t use the thrust reversers. Without the tires you’re not going to want to use your brakes, but speed is certainly not your friend and using TR’s would slow you down and provide some stability and control.
Anyway, good to see it was uneventful in the end.

 

[LJDRVR]

They used the RH TR only, for improved directional control.

There is video of the landing here...

Great Job Guys!!! Fantastic!

Outstanding job, makes me proud to be an XJT pilot.

 

[Turtlesfly]

Great job guys! I'm totally jealous if you get to go on all the tv shows now that you're famous. Say hi to Kelly Ripa for me - I think she's hot.

 

[i fly boxes]

make sure chautauqua gets that plane. What a crappy industry sometimes, Here these guys are faced with a situation which they delt with very well, and now at the end of the year, because they wont give up money and other things, they lose flying and maybe some of their jobs. I hope continental's ceo had his eyes glued to the tv during that one. Nice job express guys

 

[Turtlesfly]

Yeah, they'll probably reward that FO by furloughing him in a few months
