Southwest skids off runway at Burbank airport
A Southwest Airlines flight skidded off the runway Thursday morning at the Hollywood Burbank Airport. Southwest Flight 278, which departed from Oakland, rolled off the end of runway eight shortly after 9 a.m., the FAA said in a statement. (www.fox10phoenix.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Will the plane be scrapped or a repair attempted? Does landing in the EMAS change this?
The gear took the brunt of it... I doubt much if any of the arresting material went into the engine. My guess would be a worst case scenario would be to replace the gear, but just guessing, I would say it will be ok. I think the biggest damage will be the bruise the captain got upon landing! :)
Runway 8/26 at this airport is just 5,800 feet in length. I have never been aboard an aircraft that was landing at BUR, but knowing what is very apparent concerning this facility, I do not believe I would be inclined to board a commercial plane which is bound for BUR. The runway is simply TOO SHORT for a fully loaded B-737 or any similar aircraft.
For a properly skilled and trained crew it is not a problem... 737's used to fly into KROA for years on a 5800 foot runway with much smaller engines.... That is plenty of room!
Question from a non-airline flight enthusiast: I see Key West has a Delta 737 routinely operate in and out of their field and they have an approximately 4800ft runway.Not a huge difference in field elevation. Does anyone know if they have special approach/landing criteria.
out after touching down.
San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end
of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the
Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return
to the airport.""
