Falcon 50 runs off end of runway at KGMU
Landed on RWY 19. Rwy 1 has EMAS that was installed after a similar incident a number of years ago. (www.wyff4.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The airport manager speculating it could have been a medical issue was absolutely uncalled for. His obvious attempt to deflect airport facility responsibility for the crash was unprofessional and an insult to the crew.
R.I.P. Hopefully the CVR will be able to shed some light on what happened.
2 confirmed dead. RIP
Wow! It looks as if neither pilot was type rated in the Falcon 50 and the flight was a Part 135 trip. The copilot was a private pilot with no instrument rating. They payed the ultimate price but others are probably leaving the country.

This is starting to look really, really bad...
I'm not a pilot, but it appears only one reverse thruster was activated (center only). Maybe others could comment on this?
That's correct, they only have a #2 engine thrust reverser
Mike Reimer is correct. Only the center (#2) engine has a thrust reverser on the FA50 and it appears to be deployed in the accident photos. I am not typed on the FA50 but am on every other early Falcon, 10, 20, 200. Maybe someone more familiar with the FA50 can comment, but I believe that due to system design that the two pilots can cancel each other out if they both push on the brakes with the same pressure. Its been a long time and maybe I'm getting my planes mixed up.
