blurty Video (click here) shot by a passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 2253 as it overran Ruwnay 19 at Jackson Hole, Wednesday, shows unusual operation of the aircraft’s systems, according to some pilots. The 6,300 foot runway sits at an elevation of 6,451 feet and the pilots landed in light snow at about 11:37 am. About seven inches of snow had fallen in the area since midnight. The aircraft appears to be on the ground prior to passing the PAPI lights and wind sock. One pilot who commented on pprune.com suggested that places the landing point approximately 1,400 feet down the runway. In the video, the engine’s thrust reverser panel first moves just after touch-down, but it does not fully open and the outboard spoilers are not visibly deployed. Because of that, things quickly get more interesting. Click through for the video. 757 Overrun Video Ignites Pilot Speculation
blurty Following up on a health-related pilot story, AVweb contacted senior aviation medical examiner, Dr. Brent Blue, who said, “I think the FAA is actually starting to float the idea of either dropping or relaxing third class medicals.” Blue pointed out the limitations of aviation medical certification standards, and the risk factors that aviation medical examinations are not equipped (or regulated) to detect. In spite of that, Blue says medical issues are cited as causal factors in fewer than one percent of aircraft accidents. He notes that the FAA has relaxed regulations regarding the frequency of certain pilot health examinations and believes money (and safety statistics) may push the FAA to further relax, or remove, third class medical requirements.
