Location: Atlantic City-Bader Field, NJ (AIY) (United States of America)
Phase: Landing (LDG)
Nature: Executive
Departure airport: Burlington International Airport, VT (BTV/KBTV), United States of America
Destination airport: Atlantic City-Bader Field, NJ (AIY), United States of America
Narrative:
The CitationJet departed Burlington (BTV) around 14:45 on a routine flight to Atlantic City (AIY). The pilot first made a low pass down runway 29 and then return to land on runway 11. After touchdown the airplane failed to stop and overran the runway and into the Intercoastal Waterway. The occupants were rescued by a boat.
According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,000 pounds required 2,930 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind, which was the approx wind at the time of the accident, the airplane required 3,500 feet of landing distance. Runway 11 at Bader Field is a 2,948 foot-long, 100 foot-wide, asphalt runway. Bader Field is normally closed to jet traffic.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's improper decision to plan a flight to a runway of insufficient length, his improper in-flight decision to land on that inadequate runway with a tailwind, and his failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the tailwind condition."

I have never actually landed an airplane. I've been at the controls on takeoff from Islip a few times. I've taxied at Islip. Donna said she'd never get in a plane with me if I got my license. Said Maddie wouldn't either. Maddie says she absolutely would.
Moot point. I broached the topic on June 1st this year. A year and a day after my transplant. I believe FAA medical statutes require a one-year wait, post-transplant.
Anyway...I broached it. Donna buried it. It ain't happening. I'll have to be satisfied with going up with my friend.
Back from nice week at Myrtle Beach Ocean Lakes.... Came back 1 day early but sure wish we could have stayed a month.
Last few days the Ocean was closed due to the waves and undertows.
Hope all is well with everyone. Will catch up on posts later. Off to work this morning.
Dave and Ris, We were just there also. Got home and saw that Jim left a message that you were in Myrtle also.Where were you guys parked. We were by the hotel site 2049 if I remember correctly.
