Boutique Airlines. Plane’s emergency door flies off just before takeoff

[Roger Roger]

American 191 and Alaska 261 are accidents that happened because a detailed maintenance procedure was simplified with internal approval.

Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

*shrug* unless you’ve got inside information, considering how many hours are on the PC-12 fleet without any door failures that I know of I’m still going to consider plain ol pilot error as equally possible.

We shall see. In 6-18 months...

Either way, they had that engine failure/off airport landing in Dallas, a wheel fall off, and now this? Something smells.

To be fair they discovered you only need one.

I knew @inigo88 ’s people have been putting twice as much • as is necessary on the airplanes.

I say we just roll with the motto “safety third!”

It works for mountain biking...

Think of how much “greener” the airplanes will be without all that extra stuff.

Also their reductions in pilot pilot and people leaving enmasse, not a good time for Boutique air. . .

Some planes start pressuring on the T/O roll at a certain speed or TLA. I don’t know how the pressurization works in a Pilatus, but it could have some differential pressure that could have shoved the door open. No idea how much Delta P it would take to create enough air movement to “suck” stuff out.

Nerd.

I have had an emergency exit door fall in after landing once. But that's a story for over beers.

I had an FA open an overwing exit while briefing the her exit rows at the gate because they were Marines and she thought they were cute and got a little carried away with the demonstration. 2 hours of MX to secure the window and get the paperwork done.

Because the elevation on 26R is 990’ but the opposite end is 1015’

Need an elevator to go down 2 stories.

I’m looking at you Atlanta!

Haters gonna hate.

No, sir. To be like Avantair, they’d continue the take off AND do at least one more leg before calling maintenance about a missing door.

That seems…gratuitous, even for the RJ level.

My wife and I just did a couple of Botique Air flights in Colorado, and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the entire experience was.

Doesn't sound like the door was sucked off on your flight.

Did they swap out the biscoffs for Crayolas?

My wife would have peed herself then made me rent a car forever after this if she was in this seat.

Plane’s emergency door flies off just before takeoff: ‘It was scary’

The emergency door of a small plane flew out of its frame and onto the runway on a Minnesota airport shortly before takeoff Wednesday, where one passenger estimates the aircraft was moving around 1…
