N85AV Accident Aircraft at KBLM - CTAF audio.
« on: April 05, 2023, 11:28:05 AM »
There was some confusion in the Coms - interesting to listen.  First call was to "Belmar Tower" but this is an uncontrolled field.  McGuire approach answers as clearance delivery.  Then we can hear clicking on the mic to adjust runway light intensity, then another report from PM saying they are making a "full stop."  Definitely did that... 

 Thankfully no injuries but substantial damage to aircraft.

Fast forward to 26:54 .

On 4/1/23 at 7:38 PM, Wall Township Police and Fire District 2 responded to Monmouth Executive Airport for an aircraft incident. Investigation on scene revealed a twin-engine jet left the runway while landing. It lost control upon entering a grass median, and came to rest on its underside off the taxiway.

Sudden high winds from incoming thunderstorms were a contributing factor.

The aircraft was occupied by its pilot and copilot. Both self-extricated from the plane and were uninjured. The plane sustained significant damage. Wall Fire District 2, with assistance from Monmouth County Hazmat, were able to isolate the fuel from the aircraft. The scene was secured until morning.

With daylight as an advantage, emergency crews returned to the airport the following morning. A private towing and recovery company removed the plane and the debris field was cleared. Spilled fuel was mitigated. The airport was closed during the initial investigation and has since reopened.

If anyone can edit that above-linked audio clip and post, that would be great.

Thanks for that!  Yes, definitely some confusion on the radio there at a critical phase of flight.  Concerning.  Will make for interesting reading and learning once the NTSB report comes out on this one. 

Pressing the approach?  Trying to beat the line of severe weather?  Mechanical failure?  We will see.
