Thank God o

it's indeed a miracle but let's wait for the investigative report before discrediting an airline

Hmmm...interesting. Rainfall was concentrated in the area.... couldn't the pilot circle until the storm subsided?...or was he low on fuel?... With such rain... there is usually high winds ... was shear a factor?...which usually result in planes skidding off the strip?.. Heavy rains mean low visibility... were there lights on the runway to guide the pilot?... if not ...maybe he misjudged the strip. Is there good drainage for the rains to quickly run off... or was it all flooded? The good thing is... there is enough room for the plane to safely come to a stop. They need to investigate and take corrective actions.

If you think rain or mud is slippery, try snow.

There r airports in countries with like Russia, Canada, China, UK etc where they r snow but things things like this don't come up.

No excuse for failure o. That plane tire don chop, make them go replace am and resurface d tarmac. They should also check the brakes on the aircraft or perhaps, consider replacing some of their flying Dinosaurs.

Have you ever heard of aquaplaning before talking rubbish.

In their confused state without an iotta of an idea on what to do, they think shutting down the airspace is the wisest thing to do.

And the price of tickets will go up to cover the cost.
Look, we can't continue with this stupidity.
Aeroplane is a whiteman invention. We imported it and paid in Dollars $$$.
As any standard machine, it consists of metal parts. These parts wear out with time and usage.
Now, we don't even have any single factory that can manufature even ONE BULB of the aeroplane.
Everything, tire, brake, has to be imported to maintain the plane.
And if you f**kup and forget to maintain the plane, guess what happen?

My grief if this: Why do we insist on using Oyibo Technology that we cannot manufacture the parts ourselves?

Probably the only functional runway and it will remain closed until the aircraft can he removed which is not an easy task in the mud.

Liar! Who taught you how to lie didn't teach you properly.

When driving in a wet water logged road, the tyres act to continually grip the road and dissipate water thru the threads, but sometimes, it fails and can result to hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is a phenomenon where a vehicle tyre loses contact with firm terrain and instead glides on thin sheet of water, it could be dangerous situation which could cause the vehicle to lose control and skid.

1. If a snow fall is too thin, it will be slippery.
2. If a snow fall is thick, it will have incredible grip.
3. When a thick snowfall begins to melt towards d afternoon, it will be slippery.
4. When d temperature drops further at night, snow would turn to ice. This one is worst. Your all wheel drive cannot help u. If u don't walk with tactics, u must fall. U cannot even of think of riding a bike or anything that does not have four wheels. Na skating level u dey.

Snow go make u Understand say mud na your friend.

Hydroplaning u talking about is just theory. I have given u d 4 possibilities and only point number 2 has grip.

You're right jare.

Even in driving tests, it is taught that the stopping distance of cars doubles on wet roads compared to dry roads, but it increases 10 times in snowy and icy conditions compared to dry roads.
Skidding is 5 times more likely on icy and snowy roads than on wet roads.

In as much as I agree with some of your submissions, when comments like " things like this don't come up there" or comments like "only in Nigeria", it waters down your argument.

Accidents happen anywhere in the world where humans are.

Watch air crash investigations and see accidents happen even in advance counties, don't down play your own.

Reference:


Have you ever heard of aquaplaning before talking rubbish.
You'll normally need at least 3mm of water depths for aquaplaning to occur and that's with a light aircraft which isn't the case in this scenario.

Anyways, it's the airport responsibility to ensure the runway is suitable for landing which is the point the previous poster was trying to make by using snow etc. as an example.
The sooner you guys stop making excuses for incompetence in Nigeria the better.

I think is point is valid. How often do you see aquaplaning on a major runway in developed countries? It's because they always ensure the friction status of the runway are assessed periodically.

There are quite a few ways to mitigate against aquaplaning so this is not a valid excuse.

Re: Air Peace Plane Overshoots Runway In Port Harcourt by babz11(m): 11:34pm On Jun 22, 2019
It is called Hydroplanning, Aquaplaning, also known as hydroplaning, is a condition in which standing water, slush or snow, causes the moving wheel of an aircraft to lose contact with the load bearing surface on which it is rolling with the result that braking action on the wheel is not effective in reducing the ground speed of the aircraft.
This only happen when the water build upto 2mm on the ground, and it only have effect on aircraft during Landing and Takeoff only.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Airliner_accidents_and_incidents_involving_runway_overruns

These are incidents of runway overrun even in advanced countries. These things happen and human error is the major factor. By the way you are just assuming it is aquaplaning, other factors might have been the cause.

The number one rule of investigation is that you do not assume what happened.

Accidents happen, not just in Nigeria, everywhere in the world and thats my point. The phrase "only in Nigeria these will happen or it doesn't happen there" is baseless.

They should've shutdown the airports and delay/divert flights until weather conditions improved... that's the international practice.Guess these guys just remembered after the storm... after the accident... and decided it's better late than never.
