Weekend Jet Accidents in the USA

[fholbert]

April 1st - A Cessna 750 Citation X jet, N85AV, sustained substantial damage when it suffered a runway excursion during a landing attempt on runway 32 at Monmouth Executive Airport (BLM/KBLM), Belmar, New Jersey.
Both pilots were not injured.

The aircraft exited off the left of the runway beyond the taxiway. A photo provided to me shows that the airplane came to rest upright, the nose and left gear collapsed, the fuselage sustained extensive damage, as well as both wings.

April 2nd - The Dassault Falcon 900 jet N999EH suffered a runway excursion during landing on runway 15 at Aspen Pitkin County Airport (ASE/KASE), Aspen, Colorado. There were no injuries.

Be quiet Corpus Christi. Don’t be repressing legitimate safety concerns

I heard @derg is going to get CC a job at Delta as an FO.

Derg is looking under the couch cushions for some quarters now.

Allare airport (KBLM) is a "special" airport.

Damn near 3rd world when it comes to field maintenance

Wait, a 750 landing at an airport without a Citation service center? Well…they’re gonna regret that. As one does.

Tell me where the Bureau of Land Management touched you?

I wonder if he'd put his family on a life flight.

Aspen is a freaking menace. In any rational world, that's a VFR-only airport. The margins are just too thin in any real weather. I'll never have to go there again, and that's not soon enough.

If I can go my whole career without touching Aspen or Teterboro I’ll consider myself a success

Eh, they just got it backwards. Rifle’s where the heavy metal and inexperienced RJ pilots should go (the trash-talking’s been way too one-sided here). Aspen should be mostly pistons, some turboprops and light jets. In a previous life I did piston mountain training and we’d pop over the Independence Pass because that was about the only really taxing part of taking a 182 into Aspen. The G36 was a touch more sporting calculating performance with the sloped runway but still nothing compared to someplace like Blake. I’d fall asleep taking a Caravan in there.

Cmon now, you know you want to try TEB just once. I’ll go easy on you.

Seems to be good for selling new Biz Jets

I kind of want to bring the 350 in there. Test mah stick skillz.

Man that thing at first glance looked like a beached whale.

No. Sad events all around. The jets at least look okay, but that Life Flight heli was a fatal accident.

I pray that my family never has to see the inside of that chopper. I understand that it is the most accident-prone sector of aviation but that's mostly because these guys operate in harsh conditions (low vis, night time, terrain, weather) to air-evac patients out who are suffering life threatening injuries and land travel (ambulances) are not an option. These guys are true heroes in my opinion.

I thought the exact same thing

Maybe this is the crashing biz jets season? Lots of weird weather, engines without upper access panels installed, possibly extraterrestrials interfering with piloting?
