757 Overrun Video Ignites Pilot Speculation

31 Dec 2010 | : Aircraft Leases, Jet Lease, Uncategorized

Video (click here) shot by a passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 2253 as it overran Ruwnay 19 at Jackson Hole, Wednesday, shows unusual operation of the aircraft’s systems, according to some pilots. The 6,300 foot runway sits at an elevation of 6,451 feet and the pilots landed in light snow at about 11:37 am. About seven inches of snow had fallen in the area since midnight. The aircraft appears to be on the ground prior to passing the PAPI lights and wind sock. One pilot who commented on pprune.com suggested that places the landing point approximately 1,400 feet down the runway. In the video, the engine’s thrust reverser panel first moves just after touch-down, but it does not fully open and the outboard spoilers are not visibly deployed. Because of that, things quickly get more interesting. Click through for the video.
