A bad place to crash land new bbc

[TooWings 17]

the acccident happened and no people on the ground were injured.

 

Luckily.. This time at least. 

 

The extended flight path also intersects the A30 road. Should those and other roads be closed?

What other road like A3044 at Heathrow and the adjacent Perimeter Road.

 

Like I said. The car auction park is right at the end of the runway, thus giving no margin of error for even a slight overshoot   The road you mentioned is situated further on  >> 

 

Also I wasn't talking about 'other airports', just that particular airport/crash..

 

Commonsese doesn't depend on knee-jerk reactions.

 

I thought you were talking Italian there. But perhaps you meant to write 'common sense.'  

 

 

Running out of runway

 

 

 

Well at least it's not Gib. airport ..with a main road intersecting the runway, or vice versa...

Well, if you have to be greedy and turn that land off the runway into something other than an empty field, a parking lot for cars with no owners probably puts the fewest people on the ground at risk.

AAIB Bulletin S2/2015 SPECIAL reports that:

HZ-IBN entered the left-hand circuit for Runway 25 via the crosswind leg. Towards the end of the downwind leg, it overtook a microlight aircraft, before climbing slightly to pass ahead of and above that aircraft...

The operator estimated that the landing weight was 6,522 kg.  The aircraft manufacturer calculated that at this weight the target threshold speed was 108 KIAS...

 The aircraft’s TAWS generated six ‘pull up’ warnings on final approach.  The aircraft crossed the threshold of Runway 25 at approximately 50 ft aal at 150 KIAS.

Tyre marks made by the aircraft at touchdown indicated that it landed approximately 710 m beyond the Runway 25 threshold.  Runway 25 has a declared Landing Distance Available (LDA) of 1,059 m; therefore the aircraft touched down approximately 349 m before the end of the declared LDA, 438 m before the end of the paved runway surface.

Data from the aircraft’s CVFDR indicated that the groundspeed at touchdown was 135 kt and the airspeed was 134 KIAS.  The aircraft manufacturer estimated that at this speed the landing ground roll required to stop the aircraft would be at least 616 m

The aircraft had no chance stopping short of the end of the runway. That is a bad place!

Well spotted Gerry.

 

And here's the BBC's take....
