XJT incident at IAH

[Eric]

Anyone have any details about the xjet flight that landed long on 6/23? My dad was on the flight, Gulfport to Houston. Apparently no one was hurt. My father said the plane floated a ways and touched down more than halfway down the runway. He said it took out some lights at the end. I'm glad no one was hurt, and I hope it wasn't pilot error so everyone keeps their jobs.

I'm sure it wasn't pilot error. There was unforcasted ground effect at the approach end of the runway.

Classic response...thankyou.

We do make mistakes (pilots). If the story is how it was originally told it would be quite difficult to blame anything else than the ones at the helm.
