Cargo Pilots’ Aileron Roll Attempt Damages Learjet

At about 3:30 a.m. on January 10, the pilots flying a cargo-carrying Learjet 35 from Jacksonville, Fla., to Columbus, Ohio, for Airnet Systems attempted an aileron roll, according to the NTSB, but the maneuver wasn’t entirely successful. “The crew reported they did an intentional roll,” said NTSB investigator-in-charge Todd Fox. “There was substantial damage. The elevators were bent, and there was some stabilizer damage. Major damage was to the left wing; there was a large crease in the stainless-steel leading edge.” Fox was told that this was the last flight for the Learjet captain before he was to move on to a new job flying passengers for a Part 121 airline. Fox’s Chicago NTSB office will release, probably this week, a data-collection report on the incident. Data-collection reports are a new short form that is a combination of the typical preliminary and factual reports, Fox explained.

So much for the 121 gig - last I checked pilot judgement was still an important quality. Then again these days.............who knows.:eek:
 
Man I can't wait to get to AirNet! Looks like they get to have a blast! :sarcasm: :)
 
WOW! 2 more on the RTD (Ready To Die) list....So i take it the captain isn't going to be going to the new gig?
 
Gotta love Tex, he is definately a classic.


It just blows me away to see people that know better still doing this type of stuff. :mad:

This is one of our biggest concerns as a company and pilot group. If even one person thinks that this is a representation of our culture or flying styles we want to change that immediately. The company is dealing with this swiftly and throughly so that if there was even a hint of this kind of attitude in our pilot group it is gone now. Please don't let the actions of two pilots represent the other 180+ that fly professionally and safely every day and night.

No worries there. I was seriously just joking. Have heard nothing but great stuff about Airnet and am excited to work there.

We have dill-holes who do stupid stuff in the Army, too. Doesn't mean we're ALL screwed up.
 
Oh good gracious.

Here come a couple more "Dear Dough" letters... :insane:
