"Airforce One, missed approach"
This is something that probably doesn´t happen too often. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think CNN made a poor choice of words by calling it an "incident." The FAA defines an incident as “an occurrence involving one or more aircraft in which a hazard or a potential hazard to safety is involved but not classified as an accident due to the degree of injury and/or extent of damage” and gives examples as: Damage to an aircraft (other than an accident); Runway incursion; Pilot deviations (PD); and Near midair collision (NMAC). A missed approach is definitely not an incident.
Yup, I'd call it an 'occurrence' not an 'incident'. This is something that happens, not something that went wrong.
I guess it's all semantics but in reading the article it fit the bill pretty good just as far as normal use of the word went. It was the correct word in their speaking of Ann Romney's plane, as the smoke/fire was a hazard. Most folks will use the word incident in the context of an out of the ordinary happening.Just sayin'.
missed approaches are not out of the ordinary. They happen ALL the time.
This is true but the bulk of the article was about the smoke/fire on the Romney plane. AF1 and it's primary pax is not your ordinary airplane either. We all understand about missed approaches but the PUBLIC doesn't.lol
Preach on Preacherman!!!
lol. BTW, I think FA was supposed to get all the jumble up on the comments/replies fixed today. Mine straightened out this morning and I got msg this afternoon that said they had found the rest of the problem and will dump it in tonite, so tomorrow will either be silky smooth or like the UAL fiasco.lol
Not ALL the time. I just continue if I see a cow on the runway, bobbing and weaving until touchdung. WX below mins., no big deal, push down a little more...
They say that Dale Earnhart used to have stuff in the car with him to throw out to get a "CAUTION" whenever he needed one bad! lol
