PSA runs off runway during a aborted takeoff at CRW!

Republic blows.

The 700's nosegear had to be replaced after they got done towing it out of the mud if I remember correctly

It was damaged, but not from the overrun. The word I heard was that the damage came from the tow out of the grass.


Also, so far as the numbers from the ACARS, I vaguely remember some language somewhere that mentioned that the numbers from the ACARS were 'optimized' to include the stopway and clearway in performance calculations. If my memory serves (doubtful, but possible), this was something that ASA didn't do in times past.

 

[Abernathy]

They may include the stopway and clearway based on *distance* but do not take into account the opposing force and friction that EMAS provides, so it's a moot point in this case. Without the EMAS the plane would have dashed right off the end of the runway and probably ended up in a flaming wreckage some ways down considering it was probably just fueled before it took off.

I just want to know what the reason for the abort was and, perhaps more importantly, why the calculations didn't work (assuming they aborted prior to V1). Not only did the calculations not work, they failed miserably. If the reports are anywhere near correct, they were apparently going fast enough to plow through most of the EMAS before coming to a stop.

Ha ha! The Pot Plane! I lived in CRW back then!

If the reports are anywhere near correct, they were apparently going fast enough to plow through most of the EMAS before coming to a stop.

Looking at the video someone posted earlier, it looks like they went less than 100' past the threshold. Either they were fairly slow when they entered the EMAS, or that stuff works really well.

Does max antiskid braking leave marks like this? I am not sure. I would not think so.

Don't think it would. My guess is they didn't work

 

[Flyin2low]

AntiSkid on the CRJ200 is operational down to 10kts wheel speed. It does look suspicious.

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

Where can you listen to this at?
