Full Power and she would be out of that no problem 😀

Wouldn’t that damage the undercarriage more than it already could be?

Did i say they would when it is being towed – NO

I said that they should use Full Power and she would be out of there easily.

Since when does a 753 have propellers? Just dont stand behind it when it uses full power to get out or youll get covered in mud.

I was getting told a story about a Loganair Twin Otter at EDI. The pilot, was taxxiing the aircraft over to the other side of the airfield when it came time to stop they found they had no brakes. Supposedly, one of the things the pilots do after arriving, is pull the CB (Circuit-Breaker) for the hydrualic pump, which runs off a DC-Supply (the battery). Normally, the hydrualic pump is powered by the engines, which charges the battery, and allows the pump to operate (If I remember correctly, I’m not Twin Otter-savvy). The steering is also hydrualically powered, which was eating away the pressure stored by the accumlator, so when it came time to stop, they hadd to pressure, and thus no brakes – off they went through a fence.

I had never heard of that incident – but, there you go…it’s plausible I suppose.

Hummmmmm…..All very possible. The thing is, however, that all turboprops have reversing props. When the thing is running away from you, you put the props in reverse and that thing will stop rather quickly at normal taxi speed.

Is that the 06 Threshold End – the one that’s going to have the holding pan area?

Yes! The original pic posted in free.uk.binaries.edinburgh-airport showed pax faces at the windows..what was it doing at the 06 end when take-off
was being conducted from 24?
