If United really wanted a replacement 50 seater, there is a desert full of them.

Most value in 50 seaters are in the engines, and at least nr1 is toast on this one.

Correction it is a 145 XR. Not very many of those around and UAL is flying all of them, around 90 total. UAL wants to keep all the XRs flying.

3/4sm -SN ,1500’ ovc; RCAMs 3/3/3 from what I’ve read. Should have had an ILS available to them from what I can tell.

I think ils is/was notam'd ots

The ILS gets notamed OTS after an accident/incident until it can be checked by the feds

Bounces are an indication of excess energy. Looking at where the nose gear ended up, probably tried to force it on.

This is the best reason to look for a regional with a flowthrough agreement.

That’s a main wheel bogey up in tha motor. And a flow-through does what?

Thanks. I did not look closely and wrongly assumed a nose gear.
Still... not where it’s supposed to be.

Well....As long as they keep their jobs they still have a chance of making it to the majors via a flow. Otherwise this “ding” will make it very difficult to go anywhere.
