Skids off runway in FSD
|
Heavy snow and x-winds are a b!tch. Nothing worse than that helpless feeling of losing control. I experienced it once, and luckily with a better outcome.

Thankfully sounds like all crew and pax are safe.

Somebody should forward the memo to South Dakota that Spring officially started a few weeks ago!

Figured it must have happened when FlightAware was telling me it had landed 5 minutes ago, but there was no plane in sight from the terminal.
Perfect opportunity to use the back stairs though! |
SPECI KFSD 081633Z 12017G27KT 1/4SM +SN FZFG VV006 M02/M04
A2981 RMK AO2 PK WND 14028/1607 TWR VIS 1/4 P0002 T10221039 RVRNO= https://flightaware.com/live/flight/...432Z/KLAS/KFSD I don't know of any commercial aircraft with a crosswind limit of greater than 15 knots on a contaminated runway.... Yet, they were clearly landing runway 21, with a 17 G 27 direct crosswind... Even if the MD-80 has a x-wind limit higher than that... who would attempt landing on that garbage with heavy snow, 1/4 mi vis and no RVR??? No smart pilot would..... Good job, guys. Lucky you didn't kill anyone. |
Even more interesting.... the ILS to runway 21 cannot be shot without at least 1/2 mile vis....

Doesn’t the MD-80 ‘suffer’ from rudder blanking if thrust reverse is used in excess of 1.3 EPR?
If I recall correctly that’s what made Delta loose it at LakWadiaaa couple of years back. Contaminated runway too. |
