Also a classic "A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll
out after touching down.
San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end
of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the
Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return
to the airport.""

Will the plane be scrapped or a repair attempted? Does landing in the EMAS change this?

The gear took the brunt of it... I doubt much if any of the arresting material went into the engine. My guess would be a worst case scenario would be to replace the gear, but just guessing, I would say it will be ok. I think the biggest damage will be the bruise the captain got upon landing! :)

Runway 8/26 at this airport is just 5,800 feet in length. I have never been aboard an aircraft that was landing at BUR, but knowing what is very apparent concerning this facility, I do not believe I would be inclined to board a commercial plane which is bound for BUR. The runway is simply TOO SHORT for a fully loaded B-737 or any similar aircraft.

For a properly skilled and trained crew it is not a problem... 737's used to fly into KROA for years on a 5800 foot runway with much smaller engines.... That is plenty of room!

Question from a non-airline flight enthusiast: I see Key West has a Delta 737 routinely operate in and out of their field and they have an approximately 4800ft runway.Not a huge difference in field elevation. Does anyone know if they have special approach/landing criteria.

Clear case of not following a checklist properly.... I am betting that the crew did not properly set the auto spoilers... With Auto Spoilers set at 50' Radio Altitude plus a set amount of time the Flight and Ground spoilers will deploy automatically in the case the crew cannot get weight on wheels. This is a known 737 issue since Piedmont Airlines did this in KGSO quite a number of years ago... When those ground spoilers come up... You will get weight on wheels and you will be able to get your TR's an Brakes functioning correctly... Clear case of Pilot Error!

That may have been the case with the Classic, but not the NG. From the FRM, auto speed brake deployment occurs with RA less than 10ft and strut compression or main wheel spin up more than 60kt and thrust levers idle.

If they forgot to arm the auto spoilers they would still deploy when 1) main wheel spin up. 2) Thrust levers idle. 3) Reverse thrust levers positioned for reverse.

Speed brake deployment, or lack thereof, is a required callout upon touchdown. Same with reversers.

If they were hydroplaning, they may not have gotten that much wheel rotation! and if he did not have weight on wheels, he could not have opened the TR's

Wrong again. Per FRM: The thrust reverser can be deployed when either radio altimeter senses less than 10ft, OR when the air/ground safety sensor is in the ground mode.

Maybe they shouldn't have tried to land, I don't know. But I do know you should stick to topics you actually have knowledge of and stop trying to crucify this crew for failing to follow procedures/checklists without any evidence whatsoever.

The reversers deploy when you bring the throttles to idle and then lift them up for reverse thrust. There is no connection between the brakes and the reverse thrust. And I agree that the reverser looks stowed in the photo.

Big rainstorm overnight dumping about 3-4 inches. A lot for this area, and drainage may have been an issue. Aircraft may have hydroplaned. It's probably fortunate that it ONLY ran off the end instead of sliding off the runway at an odd angle.

There is a trend with airliners to land well past the TDZ.

Most of the previous accidents like this one (Burbank, Chi Midway, Montreal, Sao Paolo) were:

toofast + toolong + wetrunway.

5800’ on rwy 8 at KBUR, which is just under 5000’ past the TDZ. Enough for most 737s on wet runway.

I disagree... That plane should have had no problems.... If the auto spoilers were set, at 50' rad alt plus a preset time the ALL Ground and Flight Spoilers would have fully deployed and they would have had weight on wheels and been able to operate the TR's... Their shortest runway is 5800 feet. Well more than enough room for it...

I’ll be interested in reading the accident report on this one. Weather, visibility and proper calculated approach speeds vs. what was actually flown (“stable approach criterion met or not) and if at any point a missed approach was indicated. Won’t know any of that for months though... Can’t tell exactly but it looks like a -600 or -700, anyone know what the type actually is?

They don't have any -600s in their fleet anymore, as they phased out the 73NGs. This is a -700. The winglets aren't the dual-tipped winglets that you'd see on a -MAX, and the cowling on the engines aren't shark-tipped. Good indicators that it isn't a MAX. Also, if you look at the over wing exit doors, if there are 2 on the wing, that would be an -800. If there is only 1, it would be a -700.

It means the nose cowl on that engine is not the one that was on the aircraft at the time the rest of the cowl (and probably the aircraft) was painted. The engine could be much older or newer than the paint.

Engines don't typically come with nose cowls attached. Cowling is not part of an engine.

You do realize that these runways are more than a mile long, right? They can handle the performance of such a short runway; in fact, they are designed to, and given the fact that a B757 can fly in and out of SNA without a problem, and an A320 can land on 8L/26R at KLGB, a B737 has no problem with handling a runway over a mile long.

I was driving past SNA yesterday during the same heavy rainstorm that hit Burbank. The CHP was slowing traffic on The 405fwy so I had a chance to look at the look at the runways hoping no one was landing or taking off. I saw an SWA plane ready to take off and visibility was very low. I confident the pilots and the tower didn’t have a full view of the runways as I could barely see the plane.

From one report by a passenger the reverse thrust was used & brakes applied, but from the pictures I DON'T see the engine on the Port side wing showing any sign of the thrust reverser being in operation though ? or does the reverse system shut down once the brakes are applied ? silly question but does anyone have ideas on that please !!!!

The crew would have stowed the reversers. You always use reverse thrust at Burbank. No reason for them to be in the deployed position as they would have shut down the engines and that is done with the reversers stowed.

According to FAA tweet, the flight was landing on Runway 08 which is the shorter of the two runways at KBUR, and is less than 6000ft long. Unclear why they were using the shorter runway in bad weather. Runway 15/33 is over 1000ft longer. Winds must have been really favoring 08?
Resposta ↓•Permalink•Report
tyketto
Brad Littlejohn 2
Winds were out of the north, 330@11G15, so optimally they would have been using 8 for landing, 33 for departures. Besides, runway 8 is the only one with an instrument approach (ILS 8, VOR 8, or RNAV/GPS 8) available. For the visibility they would need the ILS.

On the ATIS after the incident, they were still using ILS 8, Circle to land 33 approaches.

Actually I believe the surface winds were from about 280/10 at the time of the accident. In either case a tailwind component would have been present especially when the winds appear to be veering according to the 850 & 700 mb charts.

Pilots have landed in worse. My RPA flight from DEN-SDF landed in the middle of worse rains and a tornado warning, with gains of +/-20kts on short final. Pilots are able to handle those types of situations.

Visibility? that's what the ILS is for. The airport could be complete IMC, with VV001, and you could use the ILS to land your aircraft; even more so if it is a Cat III ILS and the aircraft is capable of autoland.

What they didn't account for was the potential hydroplaning, which wasn't reported by any previous arrival. That's what did this one in.

I didn't say we used Cat III with the landing with the +/- 20kts. I said that it was used with VV001. The question was why one would even try raining when the runway was wet. We landed in such a condition and in the middle of a tornado warning.

On the contrary. I never said that the landings I had in question were the same flight. The RPA flight into KSDF was landing on 35L, which is nearly 12000ft.

I never mentioned that the METAR had VV001 for visibility there. I stated that a given airport could be complete IMC with those conditions. I never said that that airport was KSDF. For the record, the airport in question was KSMF, which we get socked in with fog that low all the time, even with RVRs being no more than 1100ft on a 8600ft runway in the 16s.

Ok, so all your post refers to are pilots landing in windshear conditions or using an ILS in low visibiltes.....because that’s their job! To assume the crew forgot that an aircraft is prone to Hydroplaning at certain touchdown speeds dosen’t give SW much credit considering that’s the only type operated? Previous accidents at BUR/MDW would suggest otherwise. I’d wait for the final report before jumping to conclusions?

Did you not see my first post? I indicated that hydroplaning was a contributing factor into this. Not only did I mention that, but a first hand account of the entire incident, by a pax on the flight indicated it as well. That is even mentioned in the article.

Passenger Moe Storch tweeted the Southwest plane from Oakland to Burbank appeared to hydroplane after it landed on the wet runway.

The pilot "regained control and hit brakes hit, reverse thrust, just in time."

Yes, the report on this will tell what truly caused this and what the fault of this was, but hydroplaning definitely is a contributing factor in this.
