ReconRat Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Holy shit that was loud. It made me jump up and run outside. I live South of Port Columbus. I see a commercial passenger plane East bound, way on this side of the runway, off course, low to the ground, engines wide open and trying to climb!SHIT!edit 7:15pm Friday Oct 15 Edited October 19, 2012 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester3681 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Wow, we live just Northeast and didn't hear anything, but we're in the ascent path, not descent path... unfortunately this happens more than you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I eyeballed it at less than a mile North of me. It's two miles to the runway from here. Close to lining up on Broad Street. geez....The engines were spooling up repeatedly. Not a steady engine thrust. Might have been one of those freak Airbus aborts. The flight/landing control does not like aborts and will try to land anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I'm betting it was this one:United 4581 from Newark - Fri 7:09 PM Cancelled Gate B31Aborts often do not try again, and go to another runway somewhere else.edit: nope, that one was cancelled in Providence RI and never got to Newark or Columbus...

I can try and check on it next week, a couple of airport contacts. Sort of curious since it was way too low over residential housing. Low over DSCC also.Living near CMH I see and hear all sorts of weird stuff sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I can imagine..Yeah I bet, if you're working there. Ever been there when the place was shut down and people moved away so they can't see what is landing? hmmm?I was landing there one day and they made us close all the left side windows so we couldn't see.....

ReconRat Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Went outside and measured the angle above the horizon. About 10 degrees. Yeah, it was behind the trees making it hard to see. That works out to be between 440ft and 880ft, figuring it was between a half mile and a mile away. My guess at the time was 600ft. The sounds I heard was the engines dropping back to idle repeatedly, after every attempt to get and maintain max thrust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
