PVD closed: Aircraft slid off runway

True, but if he can't figure the snow part with the gear then he is a newbie.

"Doughnuts!"

Looks to me like at least the left main is collapsed.... its not just sitting in deep snow.

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Yeah the left flap, and maybe more is FUBAR. Glad no one got hurt.

Be careful folks. Last night was nasty.

Yep, Dang glad I am down south. And if I where up north in that crap I would rather be pounding along on that stuff in a Dash.

So Lowly, when you bidding down south again? I might see you soon got a Double ROC overnight a couple of times next month. I might need to call you to share some notes on flying that crappola weather....

Nevermind, I can just let the CommutAir Flash backs kick in again.

Clark, an Airforce veteran talking to us from the comfort of his fat a$$ at home, was shocked to learn that despite his hundreds of hours of passenger flight experience, aircraft do in fact, sometimes fly close to the ground.
"At some arbitrary time on arrival I started my watch timer," Clark said,"so that I would know our precise time of touchdown. It took much too long. When we did clear the clouds we were very, very low. Much too low for landing." "Then," Clark went on," the pilot made one last desperate attempt to crash on the runway before skidding off the end doing 180 doughnuts. I'm pretty sure he was wearing a backpack when he did it. Yes, I'm sure I could see a backpack from my seat next to the lav. Did I mention I was in the Airforce? That's how I know exactly what happened. From my experience as an Air Force cook."
Clark went on to describe his disappointment in not being injured as he needs a good lawsuit to pay off the remainder of his trailor home. "I think maybe I hurt my back at some point during our doughnut. Does it look funny? I'm pretty sure I'll have a nightmare tonight too. Does that count as emotional stress? I don't think I'll ever fly again before next Sunday."

On a quasi-related note...

Delta 767 was off the taxiway in CLE today, BUF Bills Charter, I think. Looked kinda funny with all the dudes in shovels working around the right main gear, with the snowplows around. Sorta reminded me of the movie "Airport" with the 707 stuck on the runway and they're all trying to dig it out before the snowplows blast it to pieces...

Edit: CLE definitely had some slippery spots today, they sorta came outta nowhere. Be careful, kiddies!

I don't know... Depends on how far I get booted down when SYR closes and how much flying arrives in the Bern.

If I do get out of LGA it'll take me a good year to thaw out.

Last night in ROC it was blowing at 20+ Kts with 3/4 in snow and fair to poor braking action. Enjoy!

Silence you Bastard!!! LOL

OMG you mean a Mainline Delta plane had a problem! I guess its all over as we know it!

That's just disgusting. I'm surprised you let me have that New Bern CA slot. I figured you'd take it and bump me up north with all that weather you're advertising.

 

[Pilot124]

As a witness to the aftermath....I flew into PVD as they were loading the plane on the cranes. Make no mistake about it we had 20+ knoks at 100 ft, it was nasty in the Northeast the last couple days. It looked to me as we were taxing down taxi C that the left gear collapsed about 4000 feet down the runway just before TWY C. Just glad that noone got hurt. Number # 4 for a CRJ in the same month.

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Any one got a link to the runway incursion a few years back with FedEx, USair, United in PVD...

Classic line from USAir: "We aren't going anywhere till United is at the gate"

The controller was a space cadet...

It's on Youtube.....

Here you go, scary stuff.

That clip is one of the reasons I put my foot down to people sometimes. I have mechanics tell me "its ok to fly", I've had controllers confuse company traffic and try to cut me in from of the other company...all while telling them they are talking to the wrong aircraft. "No I'm not!" Then followed by a return to a base them telling me to call the tower and appolgizing because the controller had a bad day. For which I said, just remember us pilots have bad days too so remember that.

That controller should have been fired, her behavior was completely unacceptable. If in doubt just stop everything even if it is a inconvience.

I cannot remember the last year Delta hasn't taken one off the runway in CLE.

 

[justenjoyflyin]

Just had a quick question, the runway incursion was just recently with United???? Because I thought PVD was a ASDE airport???? Tower not using the ground radar or something?

 

[Sim Sweat]

OT here, but I think that incursion has to be quite old. There hasn't been a 5L/23R at PVD in forever, and the taxiway (Bravo) they made the wrong turn onto no longer meets 5R/23L at the intersection with 16. And there is no taxiway Kilo.

Still a great example of rational thinking (USAir) preventing a possible huge catastrophe.

 

[ILS8L]

yes it is old. In fact PVD became the poster child of improvements meant to reduce incursions. Better signage, ground survailance radar, redesign of taxiways/runways and training for ATC.

 

[J and E's Daddy]

It was occurrences like this, PVD now has ground radar
