You’re right. I forgot that was up there…from APRIL!
Citation over runs 3/23 at Bader Field in Atlantic city. Watch the whole video, it’s interesting around 4:05.
Jumbo at St. MaartenPJIA and another
I still say that the port engine begins spooling up as well!
My son says it’s just the sound of the sirens on the arriving fire engines/emergency vehicles.
In any event an incredible video.
I wondered that too, but I think he’s right. I’m saying that b/c of the big left turn he’s making. Either way WTF was he thinking, I hope they arrested him for something.
Not to mention the airport was closed to jet traffic. Side note, he landed on runway 11.
Supposedly, there was no one in the aircraft when the engine (engines?) spooled up and went to full throttle!
My point was that the port engine started spooling up but never got above idle. The starboard engine, obviously, was at full thrust.
If there was someone in the aircraft, then it’s apparent he was attempting to move the aircraft into the shallows to prevent it sinking.
At least he chose the longer runway, not that it did him any good.
Right, more commentary on this video in this thread
It is an incredible video!
does anyone have videos of either there favorite plane or favorite airport.
This is my FAVORITE video because it has a plane that I really like and it lands at my favorite airport. please watch this. I give it a 9 out of 10 I would have liked to see the video either start in Chicago or further out of the airport. ENJOY

Let me now what you think of it!
The pilot landed just short of the 2000’ marker. Usually you set the plane down on the big white 150’ long 1000’ marker. He made a lot of adjustments but who cares, it looks like he made an on-centerline landing (assuming). Thumbs up.
Here are some more that I really like.
Landing in Washington DC Reagan airport - YouTube)
I thought that landing seemed long.
Also noticed a ton of power changes.
A rookie jet jockey or high wind situation, couldn’t tell.

I was a little surpirsed to see him exit the runway so late. Could he have been told to roll out that far? If not his gate might have been on the other side of the airport.
Not likely that. May have come in hot every 1kt cost you 100’ of runway, so Vref+10 at the thereshold would cost you 1000’, so adding 5 knots due to gusting wind (very standard practice) could cost you 500’ of runway then a little bit to much flare and there’s another 500’. We aim for the touch down point, it doesn’t mean we land in it. Also brakes are very expensive, if you have 10000’ of runway why not use that extra runway for a roll out (after you insure your brakes work) to disipate the speed and save the company money? I think it was a SWA flight too…if that’s Midway…
…I’ll leave it at that.
If they were fast b/c of poor planning, they should have gone around; I’m sure their company has a ‘no fault go-around’ policy. Basicly it says that you can go around for any reason prior to 1000’ agl IMC with out company action.
Here is what AA says.
On August 15, 1999, American Airlines Flight Manual Part 1, for all flightcrew was modified to include the following, "Paragraph 5 Missed Approach, 5.1 General, American Airlines has a no-fault go-around policy, recognizing that a successful approach can end in a missed approach. Captains are required to execute/order a missed approach if the aircraft is not stabilized by 1000 feet AFL(IFR) or 500 feet AFL (VFR), or if in the pilot’s judgement a safe landing cannot be accomplished within the touchdown zone, or the aircraft cannot be stopped within the confines of the runway.
I’ll try to remember to find NJA’s policy tonight and see how it reads.
Here’s some interesting readong on the subject from, the Flight Safety Fondation
Kinda fun Monday nite quarterbacking 
I think I counted 4 1000 foot distant markers after touchdown, one was very shortly after the wheels harshly met terra firma, so it’s my guess it took almost 3000 feet to slow the plane down enough to turn?
Speed over the threshold felt very fast, but that may be due to the panning effects of the camera, dunno.
What ever the case, he sure didn’t have much runway left (just over 1000 feet), being able to see the aim points at the opposite end of the runway just as he turns off.

You got me curious, as what you describe above allows very, very little room for error on a typical 6 to 7 thousand foot runway. What is the average rollout on a TYPICAL jet (understand 747 rollout will be different then a lear). One knot isn’t much room for human error??
Would seem to me, it would be ok to aim for the numbers or shortly afterwards rather then waste 1000 feet. That ole saying the three most wasted things in aviation is the gas left in the truck, the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
Good read, thanks!
Allen
I have read/heard that every 10 knots is an additional 100’ of runway, i.e. every additional knot is 10’ more feet of runway required? (Framed as a question in order to correct my ignorance.)
1KT = 100’ doesn’t leave much room for error, but I can understand how this could be the case given the fact that all of the forces being dealt with increase and decrease exponentially.
I think it sounds about right. (besides the fact that I trust leardvr knows what he’s talking about)
I don’t feel like computing it, but 100ft goes by pretty quickly at 120kts.
Heck, 100 feet goes by pretty quick at 68 knots.
What are we talking a couple of seconds of reaction time between the two speeds per 100 feet?

It was an American Eagle CRJ-600 at BNA
