China Airlines Freight 747 Touches Down in Grass at Chicago
A China Airlines Freight flight on an ILS approach to ORD 10L touched down on soft ground, hitting a wind sock. The aircraft went around and safely landed with minor damage later. (avherald.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It's all Kris Durbin's fault for posting this and making us fight. GET HIM! ;)
Yeah, it's all his fault! ;)
First, no major serious (i.e. no deaths or destroyed aircraft - seems minor damage only - wind sock, some runway cleaning...) event to life and property; obvious 2nd 9or later) landing was uneventful.... 2nd, as pointed out by another already, learning from the event - i.e. why and how it happened and how to prevent... -- is now the critical work to be done and what I would like to learn more myself. Items I note from article and makes me wonder are: ILS approach vs. visual? No info on pilot experience with either aircraft or airport -- i.e. was it 3 experienced pilots training a new one, etc... see this with my son as he is just starting to learn (40+ hours) / earn his private and listen to him not lining up center line on his check-out a few days ago. Figure other may have more reasonable ideas on what is know fact, some typical possible events, and a few reasonable what-ifs / this condition gets you this event(s) given limits info. Again, from article info, seems the wind sock is quite a way down the runway from where I would think the aircraft should have made touch down.
This is the most pathetic collection of posts Ive seen on FlightAware. This is an aviation website, Please refrain from your boring political stupidity and stick to the subject at hand, please. Landing a 747 in the grass is serious matter. Perhaps if you were on that flight you would think differently about it. It would be interesting to see the results of the investigation of this matter if there was one.
It's really easy... just don't feed the trolls... downvote the dumbass comments and move on.
This could've been a good article but went off the rails even before it was published. Yikes.
