NJ Citation V runs out of r/w at HPN yesterday

[x402]

I'm sure that this crew had extenuating circumstances. Unfortunately, NetJets is more concerned with their privacy than with sharing information that could help us all prevent this from happening again.

I'm glad that Netjets protects the privacy of its crews, until the NTSB reports everything is just conjecture. I have a keen interest, as I fly the same type. Were it systemic, I have little doubt even NJA could keep a lid on the feds. So, until the report comes out, I too will continue to operate as safe as possible.

I took off 45 minutes prior. when I taxied into Position and hold it was 6SM and dry about 2C.... light snow nothing sticking. When I was cleared for TO is was snowing like hell and 2800 RVR. Winds changed from like 160/7 to 070/15 to 20. 16 is a 1% downhill.

Add into the mix NIL braking action (UNREPORTED) and a set of pinned T/Rs and it could have happened to anyone reading this board.

Guess they were buisy whinning like all Nut Jet loosers when they should have been flying.

Anyone who can have three spelling errors in a short sentence like this one is the biggest idiot loser I have seen in a long time. STFU, professor.

Why were the TRs pinned?

You figure it out.

The T/R's were most likely MEL'd if they were pinned and it was flying. I am not speculating or anything, just saying that is usually the reason a plane would be flying with pinned T/Rs.

In my experience the TRs are pinned to save on maintenance.

As much as I like slamming the Company, the only time pinning the TR's and then MEL'ing them, was for a brief (less than allowed) time. HPN is a MX station. If they had been MEL'd in ACK, this might be a reasonable trip. In 4+ yrs I haven't flown pinned TR's for more than a couple of legs. The rest of the details of the flight are still forthcoming.
