R.J. on closed runway?

[svcta]

Just saw a blurb about "regional jet lines up on closed runway".

Not to start anything, but anyone got the dope on this?

Jeez, that was fast. Thanks for the info..............everyone be careful out there. These mistakes are easy to make no matter what anyone says. And they will kill you.

Maybe he was circling to land?

Jeez, that was fast.

That's what she said.

"maybe he was circling to land"

Yeah, that would be my story, too.

The date in the article is more than a month ago.

 

[svcta]

Well, maybe this was another, more recent event then(?) I just saw this from a thing this morning.

That runway has been closed for almost a year. It is in the notams and listed in JEPVIEW app plates as OTS. ??? Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmm....

Good thing it wasn't Mesa, this thread would be about 10 pages long about now, but since it was some other airline then no one seems to care, just an observation

 

[svcta]

that's because mesa sucks. Now let's stay focused.

BE-1900? That doesn't mean Gulfstream, does it?

Now don't hijack my thread!

Heard an america west plane get confused in LA the other day....he set up the plane and was flying the approach for 25L...even though it's been closed for 3 months, been notamed for 4 months, and has a brightly lighted X on it that you can see from 50 miles away......he actually got mad at the controller for the last minute change....people get complacent and don't listen to the ATIS notams or read the releases in their entirety......

Not that I was there or anything, but there is a runway at an airport that wasn't NOTAM'ed OTS to air carrier ops, and there was landing data for said runway on the release- noted OPEN and DRY.

If said alleged crew actually landed on this runway, and the airport manager let them know the runway was closed to airlines, and some FO whipped out the JEPPS and the release-

the look on his face was priceless... I hear.

It was the first officers fault. It always is. Even if the CA was flying.

Thats not what the FAA says. imp:

4 stripes stands for "Its All My Fault"

4 miles out? Plenty of time to turn a downwind.. our books say 1-2 mile downwind.... it was just a bored controller over controlling every step of the way down . Its not like they were a mile out at 400 AGL

 

[BlueCanoe]

How come there were no articles written when mainliners lined up on the new, yet not open east runway in MCO everyday? MCO tower shoulda taped "Uh, you're not lined up on the east runway, it's not opened yet" Then a nice side-step maneuver to the proper runway.....

We all make mistakes. Musta been a slow day up in the armpit of FL

 

[Stifler's Mom]

If the public only new half the ******************** that happens!

 

[crzepilot]

4 miles out that still is a good ways out to realize something isn't right? So maybe that pompous b@I%Tch of a controller shouldn't have over reacted. Or maybe verified they where aware of the wrong runway.
