Just seen this... Very sad
-
Indeed a very sad and regrettable incident,however I suppose it could have been far worse in casualty terms,so possibly quite a lucky escape for many.
-
Seems the aircraft was unable to stop :'(
-
Good conditions here. Odd it could not stop. Overshoot maybe?
-
Not very far from me at all. Swmbo says that the a30 is a nightmare in that area. best to avoid.

Grid lock all around Camberley when I got home

Too early to speculate but possible brake failure :-\ Or reverse thruster failure :-\
Just such a shame
-
Must have missed this on my way out of Fleet. No problems at all. :(
Doesn't look from the aerial pictures that it overran the runway. More likely stalled executing a take-off / go-around. :'(
-
Hmm. Eye witness accounts suggest it landed with a lot of energy, well down the runway, overshot into a grass bank and flipped over the hedge into the car park, hence very little evidence of a debris trail from the runway end.

Passengers were members of the Bin laden family. mmmm. ::)

But Osama was disowned and disgraced by his family before he became infamous ;)

Yep he certainly was. He came a very long way (in completely the worst possible direction) since he was a star struck fan wandering around the Williams pit garage in the early 80,s
His family business was one of the team sponsors at the time.
Alan Jones said after 9/11 "If I had known how the little bastard was going to turn out I would have run him over in the pit lane".
Its hard to work out how someone can transform from a typical rich kid F1 fan, to what he became.
Im not really seriously suggesting a conspiracy theory. Just mentioning the possibility as stranger things have happened. ;)

Another plane has crashed at Oulton park this morning, where carfest is being held.
These things always seem to happen close together. :(

Speculation is that it landed too far down the runway, realised he was not going to stop and may have tried to takeoff to do a go-around. No conspiracy as most pilots don't want to accidently kill themselves. Sadly he seems to have made a pigs ear of the landing and paid the price. :'( Small passenger aircraft and business jets have two to four times the accident rate of commercial airlines with most due to pilot error. :(

no thrust reversers on a Phenom 300 :(

Must admit, I didn't check the specs :-[
-
A flight path posted on PPRUNE suggests he made a very tight circuit considering the aircraft type and his height ballooned at one point. Could be that he just didn't give himself enough time and space to stabilise the approach and didn't realise he'd cocked it up until too late. :'(

Strange though... Blackbushe isn't really that complex an approach for light aircraft... Something odd with the situation... Unless there was a rookie pilot as well :-\
-
possibly he was scared for his
life job if he didn't land first time

More details from the BBC

-
Depending on the power settings, it sadly sounds like he oppsed up the flare at the end of the approach after dodging the microlight :-\
Nothing to have stopped him opening up the throttles and going around though unless he was distracted by somebody on board :-\
All hypothetical of course ;)
-
Do you think British Car Auctions have third party fire and flight insurance... bit of a shit for the prospective sellers of the burnt out motors.
-
An aircraft of that weight should have enough 3rd party liability insurance to cover a few cars, I think.
