CRJ And Second In Flight Of Two Reported Successfully Dealing
With Ice Build-Up
The crew of a Bombardier CRJ holding near the airport at Pueblo,
CO, reported icing shortly prior to landing, according to
the NTSB. At the same time, a Cessna Citation 560 went down on the
approach, killing all eight people on board. Although by no means a
finding of probable cause, the icing report could shed light on why
the Citation went down with no prior indication of trouble.
Another business jet skidded off the runway at New Jersey's
Teterboro Airport Tuesday night, the second time in five weeks that
a corporate aircraft has done so in the past five weeks.
One of the more publicized events leading up to a prize fight is
the much-celebrated "weigh-in." The significance of such an
event is not lost on one of the latest entrants in the hotly
contested Very Light Jet market.
The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the
Aviation Administration:
Require Honeywell to modify its flight management system (FMS)
software to annunciate warnings to the flight crew when a takeoff
reference speed is changed by a value that would impede the
airplane's ability to safely take off, and require all operators of
airplanes with Honeywell FMS computers to incorporate this software
modification.
