N2 Posted September 26, 2003 Report Posted September 26, 2003 Thought perhaps some of the Seneca people could help me out here. Tonight on the news I saw one of Seneca's 172 was invovled in an accident and was wondering would those flying be removed from the program after having a mishap such as this? Glad it wasn't more serious although the repair bill is going to be pretty hefty! Quote
twinstar_ca Posted September 26, 2003 Report Posted September 26, 2003 can you give those of us who don't get your news some idea of what happened, N2?? Quote
N2 Posted September 27, 2003 Author Report Posted September 27, 2003 Not sure if he/she lost it on take-off or landing but ended up going through the rough and into a couple of parked aircraft. There was a little bit of wind but nothing to really to get excited about. They were pretty quick to cover up the tail logo on the aircraft though. Quote
schteevie Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 this happen at buttonville? Quote
N2 Posted September 27, 2003 Author Report Posted September 27, 2003 Yes it happened at Buttonville. From the newsclip looks like they may have clipped a few expensive machines. One of them was an Aerostar. Quote
schteevie Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 ewww... thats rough... oh well - just a bruised ego I guess... although I hear that injury has a long recovery time... I learned the hardway about checking break pressure at that very airport several yeasr ago... I had a lear on short final behind me when landing, so I kept up my speed on the roll, and took a taxiway turn off a little faster then I should have (although had done it many times before with no issues) and the break only gave me 45 degrees worth of the 60 degree turn I asked for... my passenger and I ended up having a bumpy ride through the grass to get back to the apron... I parked the plane and walked into dispatch with my head down and reported it. It was confirmed that break pressure was low... there was no damage to the plane, I was lucky... Quote
Dockjock Posted September 30, 2003 Report Posted September 30, 2003 Smashing into an aerostar on the ground probably saved a couple lives right there. Quote
flythenumbers Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 Anyone got a link to more information? Quote
