Westjet CYHZ
Not many details out but from what the news has said it appears the aircraft landed on Runway 14 and did a low energy excursion into the grass at the far end.

Runway 100% wet snow. RVR 4000, Braking action report not known.
Why did they even attempt to land?
No braking action report and contaminated runway is already makes me not even try to attempt to land. I’ve have refused to land in conditions where I had a braking report that was 5 hrs old and it was still snowing, and it snowed all day and I couldn’t get a new one report since it was late at night.
With the report of 100% wet snow added into the mix. It confirms a no brainer of no landing attempt.
Good that no one ended up getting hurt. This could of been a lot worse.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
I have gouge for my aircraft. If I don’t see 50 kts with a good decel by the 3 board, I execute a go around, giving me 3,000 ft to get airborne. I feel that once the aircraft touches the ground, crews are sometime mentally committed to landing. There is always a go around option if you know your aircraft well.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
Once the reversers are deployed you are committed to landing in most jets.
You can’t just roll it into a touch and go.

Can’t tell exactly from the pics but that looks like an -800. Try that at 50kts and at the distance it would take
to land a loaded 800 even on a SKC day on 14/32, there’s no doubt you'd be off the end and in rough shape.
Maybe take a look at t/o&landing distances of a 737-800 before adding your “expertise”.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
The gouge I gave is for my own aircraft types. There is a minimum distance any aircraft (with or without thrust reversers) that will be required to takeoff again after decelerating to a certain speed. Whether that distance is practical is another matter. I would challenge anyone to look at the numbers and see if it is practical for them. At least, it is something they could have in their back pockets... FWIW, I use takeoff distance from 0 kts with maximum thrust.Yycjetdriver wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 3:06 pmAnd what aircraft would that be?????...AuxBatOn wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 2:13 pm I have gouge for my aircraft.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
Why didn’t they use 05?
Runway 14 had a quartering gusting tailwind that looks like it may have exceeded 10 kts. No recent RSC either.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
Someone had better let Airbus and Boeing know that AuxBatOn has it all figured out and they should rewrite their Aircraft Operating manuals on this particular issue. These instructions were written in Canadian blood too.AuxBatOn wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 3:14 pmThe gouge I gave is for my own aircraft types.

Airbus had published flight operations briefing notes on bounce recovery and rejected landings in May 2005. The briefing notes, in part, emphasized an FCOM statement that the flight crew is committed to a full-stop landing after selecting reverse thrust because of the possibility of system damage when reverse thrust is canceled while the reversers are in transit to the deployed configuration. “The information further states that thrust asymmetry resulting from one thrust reverser failing to restow has led to instances of significantly reduced rates of climb or departure from controlled flight,”

Re: Westjet CYHZ
No ILS on 05, it was RVR4000 OVC200.
Anyone have performance charts for a 737-800 handy? 100% trace wet snow with 10 knots or so tailwind?
I assume they ran the numbers properly, but I wonder how much wiggle room there was...

Re: Westjet CYHZ
Then if the AFM or other regulatory literature says no then don’t do it. It was more a general comment, yes, in a thread where a 737 had an accident, about a lot of times, people not seeing all options available to them. Perhaps it is not applicable in this case but it may be in other cases.Sharklasers wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 3:31 pmSomeone had better let Airbus and Boeing know that AuxBatOn has it all figured out and they should rewrite their Aircraft Operating manuals on this particular issue.

I didn’t realize that thrust reversers were so unreliable that there was a warning in Airbus’ FCOM about a possible asymmetric configuration when stowing them. The only airplane with thrust reversers I flew, we could deploy them airborne on all engines to steepen the descent. I guess I assumed if they were reliable enough to do this, they would be reliable enough to stow on a go-around.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
So that would be either the B707 or DC 8 50 series right? As far as memory serves those were the only two jets that were allowed to be handled with reversers deployed while airborne. (And only in the descent phase and even then it was only numbers 2 & 3 engines) I also suggest you have a look at the PWA B737 Cranbrook crash to see why once deployed on the ground you STAY on the ground.AuxBatOn wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 3:36 pmThen if the AFM or other regulatory literature says no then don’t do it.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
The TSB and NTSB have overwhelmingly recommended staying on the ground and accepting a runway overrun rather than attempting a go around from the runway in any high performance aircraft.
Here’s a good example of why you shouldn’t. What’s sad is that the data said they would have left the runway surface at between 23 and 37 knots... coming to a stop within the 1000 feet of grassy runway overrun. Though the aircraft was incorrectly configured for the go around (another risk of doing a quick go around on the runways as precious tarmac is eaten up) the aircraft manufacturer said it wouldn’t have mattered.

Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t committing to a landing.. but refusing to accept a known but contained bad situation by risking a far worse situation.

Re: Westjet CYHZ
I’ll disagree with you (and the NTSB in this case). If your aircraft can takeoff on 5,000 ft from 0 kts and you know you won’t make it at the 6K marker, I would go around in a heart beat, if you can conduct a touch and go from (not necessarily in) the landing config. Next time I have sim time in a transport-category jet aircraft, I’ll give it a try.iflyforpie wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 4:09 pm The TSB and NTSB have overwhelmingly recommended staying on the ground and accepting a runway overrun rather than attempting a go around from the runway in any high performance aircraft.

At least I learned a couple of things today.
Let's say you can take off in 5000 feet, with full flaps, and you have a 7000 foot runway. You touch down at 1000', and you get on the brakes and reversers deployed by 1500'... you have 500' to make a decision? How long do reverses take to stow? How much distance does that use?
Not to mention that there aren't many non-military airports around with signage showing runway length remaining...
There is a reason that the recommendation is to commit to the landing once you've thrown the anchors out...
CF18 or something with gobs of power is a different story, I'm sure.
