Runway Excursion at Chicago O'Hare (E145, snowy/icy runway, loss of lateral control on rollout)
An Envoy Embraer ERJ-145, registration N619AE performing flight AA-4125 from Greensboro,NC to Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA) with 38 passengers and 3 crew, landed on O'Hare's runway 10L at 07:40L (13:40Z), tower had reported medium braking action and 4000 feet RVR, when the aircraft skidded left off the runway, skidded sideways further yawing to the left and came to a stop with all gear as well as the right wing tip on soft ground about 5350 feet/1630 meters past the runway threshold,… (avherald.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Was that passenger not in the absolute best seat to film that? What are the odds?
Judging by the video, perhaps this was an asymmetric braking/revthrust situation. I think I see left drift, right correction before final left drift off the runway
I like the comment from one of the passengers at the end of the vid. "I think we've landed".
The spoilers did not deploy! Anyone notice that?
They did deploy look at the one closest to the fuselage
It was a regular old fashioned ground loop.
There was a 25 knot left crosswind. As he comes in on the reverse thrust the airplane begins to move to the right because of the reverse thrust crosswind component. You can see it in the video. The natural urge is to go to the tiller to steer the nose wheels left which actually aggravates the situation. Note that the right aileron is faired as the turn starts. You've got to stay light on the brakes, use idle reverse (if any), crank in full left aileron, and use the rudder for directional control!
Basic stick and rudder stuff.
