DC air traffic disrupted after American Airlines flight stalls near runway
Emergency crews at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. are responding to a jet that has been stopped in the middle of the airport's main runway. The jet sat on the runway for about 10 minutes before fire and rescue crews arrived, according to a video taken of the plane and posted to social media. (www.foxnews.com) Mais...Had an incident once @ KILG where main struts were serviced when A/C was loaded prior to departure. On landing, much lighter of course, WOW limit switches did not close, no T/Rs or brakes (or breaks depending on your college), had to use emergency brake system to stop. Can't wait to see how this shakes out.
STALLS???
Not to nitpick, but this was a Republic Airways flight, not American Airlines.
And from across the Pond, on a slow Friday afternoon.
Reading through the "breaking/break" (wrong) and braking/braked/stopped discussion, it was a joy to see the English language at work, followed by an "unbroken" string of breaking jokes.
So, back to the headline. How far from the runway did the 'plane stall? one foot above? one hundred feet above. Makes you wonder what constitutes a "near miss"..
