ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - No injuries have been reported after an airliner went off a runway at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport Wednesday night, according to airport officials.

United Flight 4339 was arriving from Dulles International Airport shortly before 10 p.m. The jet ended up on the engineered materials arresting system (EMAS), which is a bed of engineered materials designed to minimize damage in the event of a plane going off the runway.

Roanoke-Blacksburg Airport and City of Roanoke Public Safety teams responded to the incident at the end of runway 16-34, according to the airport.

The EMAS was installed at the airport in 2024; this is the first time it was used.



The airport reported a “resource center is available for passengers and families on the second floor of the ROA Terminal staffed by the airline and Airport.”

Aviation Audio Clips / KDCA 9/20/25 23:20Z DCA Stop for Marine One to Mt Vernon; AAL527 diverts to IAD

« Last post by baldiedc on September 21, 2025, 19:24:06 UTC »

Saturday 9/20/25 - Approx 23:20-23:45Z (7:20-7:45pm local) - DCA stopped for Marine One movement from WH (P-56A) to Mt Vernon (P-73); elongated delay due to variable timing of the movement and flight path directly down the approach corridor for Rwy 1, preceded by USPP Eagle-1 on the same path).  DAL950 just makes it in before the activities, executing a left 360 to reduce altitude.  AAL527 directly behind DAL950 just misses the cut and after holding, finally has to divert to IAD due to fuel.  Various other arrivals holding on final; departures were light.

Potomac Approach - "Attention all aircraft landing National, delay vectors for VIP movement.  Anticipated delay is ... unknown...  due to... unknown movement.  But we are currently in a hold status for that."

Attached combo TWR, HELI (including comms between Nighthawk 1,2,8), OJAAY/Final - spanning 23:10-23:45Z, edited for time and content, not realtime.

When you do a frequency search, every LiveATC feed that has that frequency will be listed.  Unfortunately, the particular sector that you're looking for is not currently covered by LiveATC.

That frequency is a low ZAU sector that handles the south departures from ORD. It doesn't look like there is coverage for it.

Listener Forum / Coverage for 120.12 just outside of Chicago?

« Last post by jeffcohen on September 19, 2025, 23:52:39 UTC »

Hello!  My first time here, so I hope I'm not asking something that's already been answered - I tried to search first as best I could.

I'm learning to try to follow flights from OHare as they travel across the country.  After takeoff, I can sometimes continue to their first departure frequency, but then often lose them as the head south or west on frequency 120.12.  That frequency shows up under the Frequency Search on iOS but the locations listed are very far from Chicago and don't seem applicable.

Anybody have any idea if I'm doing something wrong, or whether there just simply isn't that much coverage right now in the middle of Illinois?

Thanks!
