Fly Jamaica Boeing 757 overrun

Post by J31 »

About 11 minutes into the flight, the pilot indicated the Boeing 757 was experiencing problems with its hydraulic system, Guyana officials said at a Friday morning news conference. The aircraft returned to Cheddi Jagan, where it crash landed, leaving the runway.

The plane eventually rolled to a stop after a spiked rumble strip laid across the runway by an airport ground crew punctured several tires on its right side.

Thinking outside of the box. They use it in the movies on cars, so it is obviously an accepted aviation procedure as well!

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Something doesn't add up.

A loss of a hydraulic system shouldn't lead to an overrun - especially not on a 10500' runway.

Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find in this business

Don't know the nature of the hydraulic failure(s) at this point but...

What if he had no reversers and only partial braking, then no braking?

3 Hydraulic systems. Normal, Alternate and Reserve Brakes. Plenty of redundancy.

757 is an extremely capable aircraft. Landing speeds are lower than a 737.
