allardjd 1,853 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Remember what the Skipper told Maverick in Top Gun? "You screw up one more time and you'll be flying rubber dog [manure] out of Hong Kong." This was a serious error, and barring some kind of last minute emergency while on long final that made it necessary for him to intentionally land ASAP at the first available place (doubtful, but possible), this guy is in deep doo-doo. It's very good that the landing and roll-out were performed nearly flawlessly and the AC and people aboard were saved from a crash, but he still screwed the pooch and placed a number of people and a very expensive airplane in jeopardy. As I understand it there was a Navajo preparing to go at that uncontrolled airport, so a mid-air or a runway collision was not out of the question either. I doubt he was announcing his intentions on the common frequency for that field. John Link to post Share on other sites
