I often wonder what people think we're looking to see in video. You'd imagine that in today's world, everybody could take at least decent video. It's amazing how that's not the case. Basically the part that we wanted to see was ........... Almost looked fake up until the wonderful building coverage!
I am sure it would have been. On the CRJ even in a normal landing if the plane bounces that is an automatic inspection of some kind, and definitely requires the FDR to be downloaded.
Yeah, it's a rough landing, no doubt about it. You don't have to be a pilot to know that when the main gear slams the runway hard and bounces back up several feet before settling back down is going to feel pretty rough in the cabin. Still, kudos to the pilot flying, looks like there was some decent windshear on short final, especially during the flare.
can someone please post the link to the actual video? we can't see it on the news site with all of its off-site links. we can't even see the video player... thanks!
OMG... I used to non-rev on Mesa from KMEM to KCLT and those guys were carrier pilots... The only way I knew one guy didn't loose the gear on landing was because he wasn't using that much power to taxi!
Can't carry too much airspeed and stay within ops specs. Generally they are allowed 10-20 knots over Vref speed but are still supposed to bleed off to Vref, or a little less, at touchdown. They may have had extra speed and the wind dropped off just prior to touchdown. That days conditions were very dynamic.
"...[A]part of the plane appeared to hit the runway during the rough landing."
- I thought that all aircraft were supposed to make contact with the runway during landing, or by definition it's not a landing. Otherwise, wouldn't you still in the air?
Do you honestly believe that journalists will use the proper words in describing anything, especially aviation? They want to sensationalize everything, even when it does not warrant such.
I hate to disagree with you... The most certainly do... Endeavor who I used to work for is wholy owned by Delta and they fly A LOT of 900's, Go Jet also flies the 900's and flies into RDU on a regular basis as they have maintenance there. Gojet flies CRJ700 & 900's. 900's are all Delta!
Tell that to all the pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, dispatchers, schedulers that work for those companies...theyre getting shorted on their paychecks!
Did you mean to reply to someone else, I am sorry, I do not follow you comment in relation ship to my comment. I happen to work in the Gojet SOC and I do not see any Dispatcher, Scheduler or anyone getting shorted on their paychecks... GoJet is not the highest paying regional, but they do not short their employees either! - Getting my to my topic, what does your comment have to do with my statement that delta flies CRJ 799 & 900's?
sparkie624, take it easy bro. It was sarcastic humor playing upon the initial post in the thread. See, they're all working, but apparently the niche doesn't exist, so they're working for nothing.
this guy does wedding videos part time. i've been on approaches like that in tulsa. if that is an md-80, mr. douglas knew how to build 'em. nothing new here.
Looking at CRJ900 into rdu on 2-mar during daylight and delta livery is bna to rdu @ 06:02 dep. tough to to figure out the tail number on fa though. N814SK? Looks like a toga. With all of the cancellations, hard to tell what aircraft got swapped out. No reports on ASN, even though the left wing seems to have clearly scraped.
It's not a CRJ, it's an MD90 landing firm after a stabilized Approach in windy condicions. No windshear visible on the flare. And nothing to congratulate for a Job done as contracted.
Who says this is a rough landing? All I can see is a totally normal landing at an Airport with some wind, nothing to worry about or even to talk about.
You're kidding right? On final, you can see in the video that there are large diversions in all three axes. You can clearly see the pilots working this landing.
So, obviously very gusty and unstable area. The hard landing could easily be the result of a gust. You can loose a lot of airspeed suddenly, and when it happens right before touchdown, it's difficult to respond. (A bit higher up, you can goose the power to soften the landing, or just go around.)
