My take is that the pilot(s) tried to salvage the engines because once in contact with salt water, they are lost. So since they knew the insurance will not cover for the accident, they thought they could at least save what's most valuable in the wreckage...

im 17 and play a crap load of fsx and have taken a flight lesson. I CLEARLY would not have done that. I would have gone around obviously.This is a perfect example of how charter pilots are hired by their contacts, NOT their skill.

They are lucky to have even gotten out alive. Plane could easily have broken up, people unconscious or drown.

It's hard to believe this guy was a real pilot. He made no position reports on UNICOM though there was a 182 in the pattern for the opposite runway. He overflew the field at 100 feet AGL!!! he turned right to fly the pattern for 11 at 200 to 300 feet AGL!!! Landed 2/3's of the way down the runway in a tailwind when there was not enough room even if he hit the numbers!! It's as if someone's 15 year old kid stole a citation after flying one in MS flight simulator!

If the pilot had secured the aircraft as he is supposed to do, he would have shut off the electricity and fuel supplies before getting out, - for exactly this reason. It also helps reduce the chance of an after-crash fire and when people are being evacuated. Most firefighters become less effective rescuing people from a downed aircraft when there's a screaming jet engine scaring the hell out of them. This pilot should have lost his license and been prosecuted no matter what country he's from.

EIN771:I'm not certain of all the details, but the NTSB determined that water in the circuitry caused the malfunction that started the engine. I don't know exactly where to read the NTSB report, but it should be easy to find on the web.Another interesting thing about this accident is that the pilot circled the airport before landing, so he got a view of the windsock before attempting his downwind landing. In the NTSB report, he blamed failed brakes, but it would have made no difference.

Im not questioning your point about the water engaging the starter - however shouldnt it have short curcuited the system or something, and stopped it from working completely? Im not doubting you im just curious - cheers

The worst thing is that the Danish CEO didn't admit his foul flying skills but tried to blame the brakes. The Press had a field day because two passengers were young women... My guess was too is that he was showing off

The pilot didn't leave engines running. Water shorted the elec. system, & engaged the starter. All the engine needed then was something to ignite the fuel & there you go - a running jet engine.According to NTSB, the plane needed more runway than was avail. - PLUS he landed 1000 ft long - PLUS he landed with a 10-15 kt tailwind - PLUS he landed @ an airport that specifically forbade jets to land, which was stated on the chart in his cockpit. He might have made it in the opposite direction.

i think the pilot is trying to use all the fuel so it will not float into the water and kill alot of life. and when a plane is emty for fuel its like a bomb without the explosive. anyway can any of u guys see the wings??
