Litt "interessant" overrun, PSA CRJ Charleston 19 januar.

[SudCaravelle]

Ser ut som konstruksjonen i enden av rullebanen som skal bremse ned flyene fungerer godt..

The airport reported, that the airplane aborted the takeoff and came to a stop about 130 feet (40 meters) down the EMAS. The EMAS, which was installed in 2007, worked perfectly.

Da lærte man noe i dag også:

EMAS = Engineered materials arrestor system

An Engineered materials arrestor system or Engineered materials arresting system (EMAS) is a bed of lightweight, crushable concrete built at the end of a runway. The purpose of an EMAS is to stop an aircraft overrun with no human injury and minimal aircraft damage (usually none). The aircraft is slowed by the loss of energy required to crush the concrete blocks.
