Part 2 of 2: CRJ200 LR to Nice/Cote d'Azur
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:49 amSo, we had a little problem. Thankfully, this occurred only about 30nm out of Nice. I declared a Mayday with ATC and the cabin crew prepared the passengers for an emergency landing.
A spotter from a mountaintop takes a shot of us descending through the clouds.
About 15nm out the -200 picks up on the ILS to runway 4L. The passengers begin to get nervous, but the aircraft was still under full control by myself and my great FO. I was confident the landing could still be a smooth one.
Even an emergency can't deny me the beauty of the Riviera's coast and surrounding ocean.
On final, the stewardess tells the passnegers to brace as per FAA Safety Instructions.
TOUCHDOWN! Pretty smooth. My troubles started on the rollin, however. She was incredibly difficult to keep stable ont he ground due to the unequal thrust coming from my engines. No reverse thrust to keep ourselves from any further damage. We heard the firetrucks racing towards us as we slowed down on 4L.
I turn off the runway and let the passengers out on the closest taxiway. There was little to no damage to the aircraft though the engine will need some looking over, and all of our passngers escaped without a single bruise to their bodies.
And that was that. The End.
Man, FSPassngers throws me an emergency on my first flight, quite a surprise (and my rate is set at only 3% so this is quite an event).
Hope you enjoyed the pics.
