P180 Belly Landing at HPN this Morning - Was it Avantair?

[Bruno06]

Well, well, no doubt how you feel about Avantair. Too bad you don't know what the hell your talking about. Yes a mechanical problem and the crew did a great job getting it on the ground with minimal damage. I can tell you the crew is not going to be "linched" as you said, by the way spelled lynched. Both crewmembers are excellent pilots. You claim coverup. Nobody has said anything because it happened yesterday. By the way the company has put out an email to all crewmembers informing them of the situation. What, you didn't get yours? Go crawl back under your rock.

Space Shuttle Pilot,
Are you referring to the email describing "issues" with the landing gear? You are right, management really do keep their pilots well informed!
So since you are in a position of great knowledge, not to mention an expert speller, maybe you can explain why Avantair have had so many "issues" over the past year. I could count the amount of blown tires, but I just don't have the time. Anyway, I'd rather be under my rock.
As for the "crawl under your rock" comment.....are you retarded?
Hey, say hi to B-19 when you pass his office on Monday!

Was Avantair involved in other landing problems or accidents this year? This is the only one I heard of.

It is my understanding that anytime there is a prop strike while the engine is producing power, the engine has to undergo a mandatory overhaul.

Hence the reason for my comment.

They shut the motors off just before landing

Good job guys!!!

A good job would be heading to a different airport and not screwing up ops at HPN for hours.

And where should they have gone? Arm chair quarterback

And where should they have gone? Arm chair quarterback

To a less busy airport with fire and rescue equipment as the arm chair quarterback said.

And where would that be?

Are you asking me to pull out a sectional and find one because I can do that but I am not going to at this time. I'm pretty sure that they could have asked for vectors to one as well. All the poster was saying was that why go in and shut down an airport as busy as HPN and make everyone else circle or divert when they could very eaisly went some where else not quit as busy.
