Kip Powick Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Imagine the feeling of sitting in your pax seat after landing, on a level runway, and then sliding over the edge into what can only be called as a "cliff-hanger" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Turkey plane: Panic as jet skids off runway at Trabzon BBC Report on the story http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42680238These are external links and will open in a new window Close share panel The plane stopped with its nose nearly in the water, but no passengers or crew were hurt Panic broke out on a passenger jet when it skidded off the runway at a Turkish airport and plunged down the side of a cliff overlooking the sea. The Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800 with 168 passengers and crew had flown from Ankara and landed at Trabzon on the Black Sea coast late on Saturday. Everyone on board was evacuated safely, provincial governor Yucel Yavuz said. No injuries were reported. The cause of the accident is being investigated, officials said. State-run Anadolu news agency said there was panic on board as the plane went out of control. Pictures show the jet lying nose down on a muddy slope just metres from the water's edge. "We tilted to the side. The front was down while the plane's rear was up. There was panic, people shouting, screaming," passenger Fatma Gordu was quoted as saying. Mr Yavuz said the airport was closed for several hours while investigations took place. In a statement Pegasus Airlines said the plane "had a runway excursion incident" as it landed at Trabzon.

That and perhaps a slight tail wind approach to runway 11.

J.O. Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This one’s weird. They’re not off the end of the runway, they’ve gone off the left side and from the looks of the skid marks, they started going off at about 3/4 of the way along the landing roll. I’m wondering if there was a landing gear or brakes issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When you blow up the picture the black marks on the runway do not extend over the white stripe and when blown up appear to be objects. According to another forum the marks are actually 2 people walking on the runway. That being said I guess we can then conclude whatever happened, happened so fast there was no last min. braking.

blues deville Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Seems to be another 737NG braking issue. Little or no headwind component, night landing, wet runway, IFR conditions. Not sure if this is their exit point or tire tracks from fire trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEFCON Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 What does the overrun look like at the end of the runway? Iow's, did the overrun proper present a more worrisome ending to the pic than going over the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 IMO........he couldn't have been going that fast when he went off the side......if he was at high speed I think he would have ended up in the drink. Both ends are suitable for overrun and if he was "speeding" it would have been a better choice to go right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he made the “hail Mary” decision when there appeared to be more terra ferma to the left. It really narrows down in the last 1500 feet. No matter what this crew and pax were very lucky.

J.O. Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 For whatever reason, I suspect the front end crew were just along for the ride at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wonder if that full right rudder position means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon The Loon Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Initially thought the runway was at Iraklion (LGIR) as a very similar "cliff" at east end of runway. From Malcolm's post above: " whatever happened, happened so fast there was no last min. braking." Well, yeah - the wheels in the dirt! All in all, a very lucky ending to an exceptionally unusual event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super 80 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'm surprised it doesn't look like a Christmas cracker as 737 fuselages that hit the ground are apt to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no hydraulics powered the rudder (and all flt controls for that matter) is at the mercy of the wind. Weird accident. For sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily and the number two engine certainly wasn’t powering anything anymore. Obviously this 737 wasn’t parked in the desired manner.

Was thinking the same. These stretched 737 fuselages generally break up before and after the wing. The last time a 737 ended up in this position was due to train de-railing in Oregon.

blues deville Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Looking more closely at the photo it appears to be less than a level runway especially near the touchdown zone. An extended flair maneuver onto a wet runway could end up like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.O. Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I agree Rich. I hope the Turkish authorities go against their traditions and put out a meaningful report on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
