Flew 8000 hours out of Brunswick ME and never figured out how to slide off a runway. Delta should look hard at this Pilot. Obviously went beyond his ability.

“Flew 8000 hours out of Brunswick ME and never figured out how to slide off a runway. Delta should look hard at this Pilot. Obviously went beyond his ability.”

Braking action by the two aircraft in front of him was reported as “Good” by both crews.

Airliners talking about a wind shift, and a quick temp drop.
Flash freeze?

Considering the plane was equipped with an antiskid system it boils down to:

1) Failure of the anti-skid system.

2) Assymetrical thrust (in either forward or reverse thrust mode) or

3) Pilot error i.e. failure to properly employ the anti-skid system or thrust reversers or improper position of the thrust levers.

Weather is a factor, although all planes made it without incident nationwide, for weeks of winter weather.

I just looked up and thought you looked familiar:)

I fly in there once in a while for their fly-ins.

They just had an incident at Brunswick when the #7 Blue Angles jet skidded off the end of the runway preparing for take off. It was black ice and they airport was completely at fault.
