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) Mehr...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.
Up at the top of the FA window search for airport and KEYW. You can look thru the available information including map and approach information. Go thru that information and see if your question is answered.
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.""
