United Express ERJ-145 Slides Off The Runway, Injuries Reported
A CommutAir Embraer ERJ-145, operating on behalf of United Express on flight UA4933, has suffered a runway excursion at Presque Isle Airport in Maine. One of the plane's main landing gears was heavily damaged, wedging between the fuselage and the left engine. Initial reports indicate one pilot as well as three passengers sustained minor injuries and are being attended to by emergency personnel. (airwaysmag.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I was on the recovery effort. 2 cranes, company from NJ to remove it. Not sure it will be back in flight. Both main gear ripped off along with damage to the engines from the landing gear hitting it. Front gear was bent backwards.
Thanks for the update. I imagine even if the total hull is lost they can recoup quite a bit from stripping it.
I get mailers all the time $45k sign on bonuses, base pay $70k/yr. sadly, it’s still not enough to hire me - I make more flying GA. You kept the pay too low too long dickheads. You make your bed and now you lie in it, in the grass off the side of runway 28 lol
Pilot did a missed approach, called airport and asked for runway lights to be turned on. Runway lights at KPQI are radio controlled by pilot. Why didn't he know this? Was this his first trip there and he failed to properly prepare? His first instrument landing? Too fast for conditions? KPQI runway is 7,439 feet by 150 feet, lots of room.
"On behalf of the crew and all of us here at United Express, I'd like to thank you for flying with us today on the inaugural flight of our new 'Toboggan Class' service."
Hopefully nobody was hurt too badly
