Delta off the Runway - LGA

[B767]

We're talking about Delta here. It's mandatory.

Ok. I smell what y'all are steppin' in now.

 

[ComplexHiAv8r]

I'm sure they've got the finest mechanics on it.

Ask @mtsu_av8er about the dream he had. And he's a Marine!

Man I dont want to be anywhere near his dreams.... ;-)

I think he works for American now.

See, there's the problem. That chart is in metric. We don't do metric.

That metric system is a dirty Commie plot, right?

Just listening to the Live ATC clip it sounds like he gives a "Good" braking action reported by an A319 right around that time.

I'll tell you what though....Sometimes you can see where everyone has made their turnoff on the same taxiway, and beyond it the RWY looks like hell. Happened to us at JFK not too long. CA lands kinda long (right at end of TDZ lights) and we end up in the snow past where everyone was making the turnoff. Went from Good (where everyone had been) to Poor...

I don't understand why guys float landings on a contaminated runway. Put 'er down. Get on the brakes.

Landing in snow on a contam runway one time I had a CA not like me briefing I'd use Autobrake MED, saying it was an aggressive deceleration rate. So I selected LO and once touching down, manually came on the brakes with more pressure than what medium would have applied. Sometimes passive aggressive works

Is the 'bus autobrake like ours, in that it commands a rate, not a percentage of braking?

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

Made in 1987. Think they'll bother?

That's a new MD88!

1987 was a good year. Things made in that year (like me) should be repaired.

Yep, it commands a rate of decelleration. I've often complained that I wish there was a Lowish-medium setting that comes on 2 seconds after touchdown unlike the 4 for Low.

The 380 you just pick out what turnoff you want to make and it sets the deccel for that!

Damn man, I could have made you my senior year of high school! Son?

 

[GypsyPilot]

I don't know. I avoid that place like the plague. That was the running joke when I was at Eagle. You know our current overnight hotel there was used as a meth lab?

The Crowne Plaza??

 

[Autothrust Blue]

The Crowne Plaza??

Yea, that's news to me too - unless he's talking about the Envoy overnight hotel. @B767

Possibly.

All accidents on RWY13/31 in the last twenty five years or so. Think that might send up a red flag to someone?

How many landings were made on 13/31 during that time span, and what is the accident rate? I'm guessing the rate starts with a decimal point, then about five zeros.

No, so much no....

Delta's PR people should send Harrison Ford a thank you card.

That is how we define "extremely remote" in these parts, yes.

The problem with 1e-5 as "extremely remote" is that if you do an activity 1e5 times and the accident rate is 1e-5, the probability of an accident is 1.0. At this point, we hope that there are other measures in place to mitigate what happens next.
