SWA flight lands at O'Hare

[A1FlyBoy]

Hmm..

Anyone have additional info regarding the SWA flight that departed MDW, had engine trouble and landed at O'Hare?

 

[skydash]

No Biggie

It was a charter flight.

 

[9GClub]

That would have been N471WN..... duct tape must have come loose.

What an a$$ ... need to duct tap your hands and mouth!

9GClub is a moron. Ask him about pulling 1G in a B-757 on takeoff. The guy doesn't have a friggin clue.

I said 1+ Gs dudes, by which I meant positive linear acceleration sufficient to influence perception and induce acute physiological distortion-- which doesn't happen unless it's more than 1G. If it were 2 Gs, I would have said so. More than 2 Gs...... you guessed it. 2+. I don't need an accelerometer to figure out what 1+ Gs feels like. Gimme a break.

If you took me seriously about that Southwest jet, y'all are the morons.

If I offended anyone, I apologize, in retrospect my comment was borderline tasteless.

Do you know how many G's you are pulling sitting at your computer?

 

[FN FAL]

I thought maybe it was a low mins captain or IOE?

 

[FN FAL]

If he's pulling anything while sitting at his computer, I don't want to hear about it.

Just what does 1+ G's feel like?

Come on Mr. G expert. How many G's are you at right now?

 

[9GClub]

Do you know how many G's you are pulling sitting at your computer?

More than you're pulling.

Not sure what that meant, but it sounded kinda cool.



1G at the computer, man. Gimme the benefit of the doubt at least.

 

[9GClub]

Somebody come to my rescue for crying out loud.

"One plus" Gs-- though entirely correct from a technical standpoint-- has somehow garnered me notoriety on the level of...... well on the level of a few people I can think of on this board.

 

[SiuDude]

I heard him check in with tower just outside Willt for 27L. He said that he'll have a long roll out and won't be able to go anywhere once he turns off. Emergency equipment was standing by.

 

[9GClub]

Just what does 1+ G's feel like?

It feels like a little more than sitting at your computer and a little less than a 60deg coordinated turn.

Did he have an automobile stuck under his nose?

Thats strange. I have almost 8000 hours and I dont seem to remember pulling 1+G's on takeoff which "influenced perception and induced acute physiological distortion."

Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Hey 9GClub with all your 40 hours of experience flying the heavy iron such as a C-152 and a BE-35 can you help me out?

Should I be more aggressive when pitching to V2?

 

[9GClub]

Not unless you wanna bend it. =)


I've apparently posted some noteworthy stuff on this board, but I don't ever recall claiming to be holier than thou. We green flyers respect you 564,000-hour PIC jet time guys, and most of the time we're just trying to learn.



Be nice.

Back to the topic at hand, according to the AP:

Southwest jet makes emergency landing
Bird sucked into jet engine


December 29, 2005 - A Southwest Airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing at O'Hare Airport after colliding with a bird during takeoff from Midway.

Flight 111 was on its way to Philadelphia when a bird was apparently sucked into one of the 737's engines, causing it to shut down. Southwest officials say they decided to send the plane to O'Hare because it was a full flight and needed a longer runway.

The plane landed without incident. No one was hurt. A second Southwest Airlines jet was sent to O'Hare to take the stranded passengers on to Philadelphia.

Tell you what. You stop making fun of accidents and aircraft that were involved with a child losing his life and I will stop making fun of the probably one statement that you have made on flightinfo. Deal?

Deal, I apologize for my tastelessness.

Give the guy a break. FN FAL's comment was even more tasteless, yet I didnt see you chastise him.

Whew...I thought I made three tasteless comments, but who's counting?

 

[Fury220]

I see "9G Club" as the user name, then check the rest of the profile to find "<40." You're already fighting a losing battle, mi amigo.

At least you had the SA to apologize and STFU. That's more than some members of this board can say.


On topic: I wonder what CNN was saying when they broke the news... "This continues a string of problems for SWA..." or something like that...I bet. Idiots.

Furthermore...do you think that the previous incident factored into the decision to land at O'Hare? I'd put my money on that. Smart move.

For sure it DIDN'T. The onboard computer that calculates landing distances would show that a one engine landing at Flap 15 at a heavy weight would require a longer runway than MDW has. This is often noted before the takeoff and the plan is to go to O'Hare if anything happens.

Noted. Makes sense.

 

[BlueBusDriver]

the bottom line is .............

I'm glad that no one was hurt (bird not included).
It sounds like the crew did a great job during a bad situation.

I've been lurking here for a few months, my tolerances for tastelessness are pretty high, so I probably just looked right past them.

SWA crews have routinely been briefing that we would divert to ORD in case of an engine loss on takeoff from MDW. In fact it was so routine that a couple of years ago SWA got a message from the FAA that the inspectors doing linechecks out of MDW were bothered by the fact that crews were not even considering a return to MDW.

 

[say again]

I said 1+ Gs dudes, by which I meant positive linear acceleration sufficient to influence perception and induce acute physiological distortion-- which doesn't happen unless it's more than 1G.

English man!!!! English.

 

[Gorilla]

I'm sure the Midway-Ohare pairing for emergencies for SWA is as common as the LGA-JFK pairing is for just about everyone. Who wants to take a max GW jet back to a dinky little airport when a wide-open mega runway awaits just moments away.
