N558RA Livingston Montana 11 JAN 2024

SamOlsen is involved,, ...

Looks like he overran the runway. Slightly.

prolly one of them Ted Turner types that want us not to corner cross on "their" ranches

Probably Shraps prairie dog spot.

Engines look slightly askew.

Conflicting reports...

The owner of Yellowstone Air Services says weather was not a factor despite snow on the ground, possibly brake failure was the cause..pilots walked away. According to the video below.



This report is even more conflicting..

Livingston, Mont. — An airplane crashed after missing the runway at the Livingston airport Thursday morning, according to the Park County Sherriff's Office.

Just after 9:00 AM on Thursday, January 11, 2024, the FAA reported an airplane missed the runway and crashed at the Livingston airport.

Park County Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene with the Montana Highway Patrol and Livingston Fire and Rescue.

Passengers have been transported to an undisclosed hospital to tend to injuries, according to the Park County Sherriff's Office. The number of people injured and what injuries they obtained is not known at this time.

While not ideal it appears to have been a good landing. The plane is more or less in one piece instead of a debris field and it didn’t burst into flames. Pretty good chance everyone on board lived but needed new underwear.

Pretty windy and -28 today.
Could have added to whatever other mistakes were made.

It's been windy as F--- there, may have been a factor.

But then it is usually windy as F--- there, so.....

It looks like they could have walked away. So, that's a good thing.

That’s kinda of a f…k up, ain’t it????

Considering where the plane appears to be sitting, I would say they were very lucky, and Jesus must have been flying that plane.

If so, according to one report, he was taken to the hospital for a drug test. GD

Might be standard procedure to drug test pilots after an incident.

Looks like a good last landing for the pilot
.

Some Rez Boys got into some Grand Canadian.

As Chuck would say - If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing.

This is about what it looks like when you sell your aging Lear Jet to your insurance company.

A good stiff tail wind can make getting a plane whoa'ed a little tricky.

I can't find a local weather station real close to the runway but other nearby stations were not experiencing much of any wind on the date and time of this incident in Livingston.


PenAir Flight 3296

Flight origin: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport
Destination: Unalaska Airport (Dutch Harbor)
October 17, 2019



As the aircraft approached the airport, the wind changed from 210 degrees at 8 knots (9.2 mph; 14.8 km/h; 4.1 m/s) to 180 degrees at 7 knots (8.1 mph; 13.0 km/h; 3.6 m/s), but was reported as 270 degrees at 10 knots (11.5 mph; 18.5 km/h; 5.1 m/s).

The aircraft became unstable and a go-around was executed.
The flight returned for a visual approach onto Runway 13.
The wind speed increased and the controller reported that winds were 300 degrees at 24 knots (28 mph; 44 km/h; 12 m/s).

The crew decided to continue with the landing and touched down at 17:40.

The aircraft landed 1,001 feet (305 m) down the runway with reverse thrust and wheel-braking inputs by the captain.

When the aircraft reached 80 knots (92 mph; 150 km/h), maximum braking was applied.
As an overrun was imminent, the pilots steered the aircraft right to avoid going into the water past the runway end.

Attempts to stop on the paved runway surface failed, and the aircraft crossed a section of grass and then broke through a chain perimeter fence and crossed a ditch.

On the day of the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) launched an investigation.

Two years later, on November 2, 2021, the final report was released, 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorizing Unalaska Airport to operate the Saab 2000 without taking the runway safety area into consideration first, and the flight crew's decision to land in a tailwind that exceeded Saab's limits (which the NTSB labeled as inappropriate) were also factors in the accident.
