PSA runs off runway during a aborted takeoff at CRW!

[flynryan15]

Looks like everyone is OK! Man things had to be real bad to try and stop at CRW!

Im glad the airport installed EMAS. This could have been very ugly. Im glad everyone is safe!!!!

 

[flynryan15]

Yeah, you go off to the south west without that and you won't stop till you hit downtown!

 

[Brasilia Pup]

Happy to hear everyone is alright. That could have been disastorous.

 

[SLUF4]

also glad EMAS was installed or this would have probably been certain death for everyone on board. Wonder how long it takes for them to fix the EMAS now that it's been crushed. pics and video here

config warning? anti skid?

Is the EMAS part of the stopway? How'd they get into the EMAS?

Do the ACARS numbers keep you out of the EMAS if you stomp on it at V1-1kt?

 

[Iceman540]

Any idea why they aborted?

Waaaaay to early to tell. Unless the crew speaks up, it'll be awhile till we know.

Hope their first call was to their safety rep...

 

[Abernathy]

Wow. Having been there several times I know how bad that drop is. The engineers who came up with EMAS should be given a medal or something. That stuff has helped avert several potential disasters.

Years a ago a drug ring wanted to up its load out of CRW so they switched from a king air type to a DC4 or 6. Too much pot, too heavy and the aircraft went over the edge and down......

Any details?

This sucker has only been there for a couple of years...

I'm under the impression that depending on your performance vendor, yes the EMAS area may be considered part of a 'clearway' or 'stopway' and therefore be usable in factoring accelerate-stop numbers. Maybe you even get a little extra because of being able to sink into the porous concrete like they did and stop far quicker than if it were just plain runway surface. Who knows?

 

[JimmyKool]

EMAS cannot be considered when calculating balance field length....remember accelerate stop distance is not the same thing.

 

[PoorJetDriver]

I thought the NAS was paid for by user fees, taxes on tickets, fuel etc...

Aerodata from what I understand doesn't care about balanced field length.

Listened to the ATC feed and it sounds like it might have been bird ingestion.

 

[SLUF4]

EMAS should be at the end of every runway; think of all the runway overruns we've had in the last few years. Southwest, Pinnacle, Shuttle America, American, ASA-seems like every airline has had at least one. And also you have the learjet accident in CAE that overran at a high speed so it may not have helped with that one. Too bad it costs so much

Mesa sucks.
