Plane spotter catches moment when wing of landing regional jet scrapes runway
The wing of an American Eagle regional jet scraped the runway as the flight landed at the McAllen International Airport in south Texas on Tuesday morning (www.usatoday.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Could have been a lot worse, imagine if it would've been a 5 kt crosswind...
I hope someone reported the damage so the crew can get some more sim. training, or maybe asked to find another line of work. I once flew a regional from Huston to Baton Rouge with what I believe was a door seal leaking the entire flight. A nice whistling noise was coming from door.

The outgoing crew didn't think any was wrong it was the out going crew that discovered the damage from the walk around

Concrete evidence.
Maybe wake turbulence? Other reports I've seen on the wind was light and variable at the time.
I live in McAllen and can verify winds were light and variable that day.
My son flew on this same aircraft a few weeks ago from DFW to Lubbock. He can't say that it was the same crew of course, but he did tell me on landing at Lubbock the plane bounced. Four times.

I see that "safety enhanced solution" created by morons, caused by the two Colgan idiots really helps!!! Let's get those $10000 CTP'S/ATP'S going. Those ATP flight mill graduates can't even tell in IMC if they're deviating around wx or Chicago, let alone land aligned with the runway in a 2 1/2 kt. crosswind!!!
