The B-2 Spirit was damaged on a runway in the incident at approximately 12:30 a.m., Jennifer Greene, a spokeswoman for the Air Force Global Strike Command, told Kansas City television station KMBC.

The bomber landed after an “in-flight malfunction” on a routine training mission, Greene said, according to the station.The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily restricted flights around the air base “to provide a safe environment for an accident investigation,” the station reported. “There were no personnel injuries and no fire associated with the landing,” Greene told the TV station. “The incident is under investigation and more information will be provided as it becomes available

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / Re: Did I see a near miss?

« Last post by martyj19 on September 11, 2021, 06:30:03 PM »

There is nothing you should report if you are on the ground watching and you perceive that something was a near miss.  KMMU is a towered airport and you say it is daytime, so the tower was open and was controlling both the helicopter and the airplane.  It would be up to the aircrews to file a report, which from your description doesn't sound like it is anywhere close to meeting the criteria to be a near miss, and even so it isn't required by regulation.  From your description it would seem the helicopter executed a go around.  There's not enough information to know how the helicopter got in that position but remember the tower is controlling it, so unless it didn't follow instructions, the tower put it there.

In general there is no record made of VFR traffic beyond whatever is on the audio tapes for any ATC that they may have talked to.  The tower does count takeoffs and landings with a clicker as part of justifying the need for a control tower.

Not every aircraft is tracked on the web radar sites.  Usually IFR traffic will be (unless the owner has requested it be blacked out) and VFR traffic is less likely to be.

This site covers KMMU tower and if you looked back in the audio archives for the tower feed and you do it within 30 days and you get the local to UTC conversion correct, you could probably find the radio traffic.

I just looked at

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/mmu/arrivals

and don't see any arrivals at around 5:15PM today.  does every plane & helicopter landing at the airport get logged?  Only IFR?  Is there a more detailed list?

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / Did I see a near miss?

« Last post by NoobWannaBe on September 09, 2021, 07:54:03 PM »

I'm 60. I was taking pilot lessons in college, but didn't stick with it.  Now I know that's just as well.  I have enough issues dealing with 2 dimensions! : )

Anyway. this afternoon coming out of a store, I looked out in the not so distance (I was 1 1/3 mile from start of runway)  and saw a prop plane on final approach to Morristown Municipal Airport KMMU in NJ.

and between him and me was a helicopter, that seemed to be veering away sharply from the prop plane's path...  Then a minute or so? later, I looked up again and see a helicopter in the distance, coming in to the runway (not sure if it was the same helicopter). 

Kinda seemed like the helicopter was taking a shortcut to get to the start of the runway, either because he didn't see the prop plane or thought he could get in front of it?  But then veered off when he saw it wasn't going to work.

I know about ADS-B feeding and seeing a plane's previous path.

Is there a way to see at a specific time (5:13PM today, 9-9-21) what was going on in a specific airspace?

Is there a way to hear the ATC feeds at that time for KMMU?

If you saw an incident / near miss, is there anything you can / should do to report it?  Or the pilots / ATC know about it already?

Thanks!

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / Re: A321 LINED UP WITH RUNWAY EDGE LIGHTS - Las Vegas

Why the insistence on a line that doesn't matter so much can cause an accident for the Flight AA-2480. Perhaps more serious accidents could have occurred that endangered the lives of all occupants of the aircraft.

Because when you think about it, as they lined up on the Runway Edge Lights, if they deviated to the outside of those lights (read: not back onto the runway), they would have rolled off the runway, potentially causing a gear collapse, which could have endangered the lives of all occupants of the aircraft.

Aviation Audio Clips / KPBI - Cross Check, being done on Ground Freq

« Last post by KB4TEZ on September 09, 2021, 02:45:29 PM »

Now I know we've all heard audio of the flight deck thinking they are talking to the passengers, and ooops, their broadcasting on the air frequencies, but I've never heard this.
Caught this today at KPBI on my LiveATC app, on the Ground Frequency, apparently, missed a selector
the sigh at the end said it all, followed by silence (never did find out whom)


enjoy
