My bad. I figured your comment was adding to the list of people coming up with excuse after excuse for why this happened. I must have misread your intent.

Of course it's a write up and an asap after the underwear is cleaned. And yes no the error that had been seen on our fleet is loc has zero deflection and we are breaking out not aligned... I can't speak for c5s fleet. This is being investigated for us. Wr also have a problem where the loc cdi swings right and left full scale throughout the approach.

Pax reported a bounce. They may have initially hit on the RWY and then bounced off.
Just think what kind of trajectory it takes to land on the runway, then bounce sideways 100+++ feet without moving forward at all. The initial touchdown was roughly on the "touchdown zone" and running parallel to the runway, just way off the runway. Plane would've had to move 200 or so feet directly sideways because of that bounce. Not possible. |

The pic in that post does not show the initial touch down spot. Only the second touch down spot after the intersecting runway.

No. That's not what happened.

I’m crying looking at that picture. Poor girl. I flew her less than a week prior.

Maybe, just maybe this is a case of like that old joke about the pilots landing on the 200’ long runway that’s a mile wide. Has anyone ruled that out when they said the bounced off a runway?
If the tracks in the snow from the photos are the only ground markings and that plane initially hit pavement, then it’s got some magic bullet physics going on. |
Perhaps the crew mistook the right runway edge for the left runway edge, and the “bounce” was from crossing the intersecting runway. If the runway was completely snowed over at the time of approach, could’ve been possible.
Once upon a time I saw an FO in training at 1:22 AM line up a Beech 1900 over the runway edge lights (he thought they were centerline lights) to land out of an NDB. Just before flare height my Instructor (group lesson, swapping seats) calmed said “go around”. Edge-lander got sent home and I got a reality check. |
