The runway length isn't the problem there, it is the width. I've been there a couple times this past month, and when it is raining with a crosswind, that runway look really small. I also like the 10 minute taxi from the terminal to runway 28.

Yes - fatigue is the buzz word isn't it. It fits lots of situations, and many times is tried to force into situations too.
USMCFLYR I did a continuous duty overnight today and slept from 9AM to 2pm when I got home. The thing is, I could have had an entire workday scheduled after our early arrival because our layover time at the hotel was actually long enough to be called a reduced rest layover. Which, according to xjtguy, is what this crew had done not long before this incident took place. So while I was able to come home and sleep as long as I wanted, I could have been in that plane landing on a 75 foot wide runway when, as evidenced by how long I slept when I got home, my body would have not been in any other rest state than one of fatigue. |

Do airlines place restrictions against FO's landing on such a narrow runway? What type of guidance was disseminated on operating from KMLI during runway construction? |
Wao, it sounds like an uncommanded swirving on landing. That is one of the scariest things on the E145... The crew did a good job...

Nope, just trying to get people to realize this crew may not need an "alibi" based on previous issues with the aircraft type. I really couldn't care less if that's a military term or not, it's pretty poor to use it in a situation like this. It seems as if somebody disagrees with you or has a different thought process than you, you get defensive. Sorry, you've got to be able to accept criticism yourself if you're gonna hand it out :cool:

Well then, reading some of the posts on this thread I think we all know who one of the crew members was. :D

A shame because there is a lot of good info on this thread (RWY width, NWS malfunctions, crew rest).

The runway is 100' wide. The width of the runway didn't have anything to do with the event.
1) The touchdown was extremely smooth, despite a passenger's claim to the contrary 2) It happened at high speed as well as aggressively. 3) The crew reacted quickly and aggressively. Despite having the crap kicked out of them bouncing around and things flying all over the cockpit. From what was garnered, a wider runway and it would have been just another slow news day in Moline. |
