GD4ELI Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Bloody windy down here but nothing by comparison to the IOM, Scotland's being hammered at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm surprised the smaller planes are flying in this. Fire service out - they'll be up in arms about that. Someone will have been on a 14 break on the snooker table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonatti Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Didn't they have one tip over onto the wingtip a few years back while operating in "rather windy conditions"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Don't know why the Manx CAA would get involved prior to taxy off the runway, its at the intersection surrounded by firetrucks ! Reckon someone may be in the brown stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon someone may be in the brown stuff ! That does seem very odd. If the tower had observed a tail strike or some other untoward incident during landing, I could quite understand the tower notifying the crew, and even perhaps advising them to shut down on the runway. But the CAA? That is why the maximum wind speed limit for taxiing the Let 410 occurred to me, as that might be a regulatory thing. But having de-planed the passengers, surely they would have towed the thing off the runway tout-suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanna Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Didn't they have one tip over onto the wingtip a few years back while operating in "rather windy conditions"? Yes. I watched it happen. Extremely lucky it didn't flip upside down and the props didn't shatter through the cabin. Also we haven't got a CAA. We are under the UKs CAA.

We do have a CAA. https://www.gov.im/categories/business-and-industries/civil-aviation-administration-caa/ As a result of the incident bonatti mentioned an operational limit on maximum wind speed for taxiing the Let410 was introduced.
