C5 E145 flying as UA4933 off the runway in Presque Isle, ME |
|
Landing gear, meet Engine
|
I wonder if that will be reported as FOD ingestion to the engine lease company.
"The aircraft is damaged and will remain on the runway until the FAA investigates." I think the problem is that it did NOT remain on the runway... Looks like a survivable incident. Hope everyone is ok. |
Got a few hours in that a/c when it was new over at xjt. Hope to see her flying again soon.

That’ll buff right out

According to pax (I’m paraphrasing), the first approach was discontinued at some point followed by a second approach and ‘hard’ landing with multiple bounces, finally coming to rest well off the rwy.
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. |

Nope they loaded just fine. You'd be amazed at what they can get flying again.
If United really wanted a replacement 50 seater, there is a desert full of them. |
