    Re: American Airlines Crash at Kingston Jamaica

    It seems as though it was one of those "perfect storm" scenario's where they had every little thing work against them. Max. tailwind, hadn't flown for a while, end of long flying day, rain, night, rough, bad vis., full load, non-grooved wet runway, slightly shorter runway with no roll out forgiveness area at either end, stressful conditions, probably caught some unexpected drafts on flare which caused them to float. Only good thing in the whole "perfect storm" was that no one was killed. Interesting if you look at each item, any one of them, or ever a few of them combined, would have not caused a problem, but all of them combined did.

    There has finally been an update on that downwind overshot landing and crash in Jamaica on Dec. 22, 2009 (American Airlines). It is starting to appear that the pilots were culpable for the reasons I listed shortly after the crash.
