The Avro RJ / BAe 146 does things a little differently… 👀 Instead of thrust reversers, it deploys a distinctive clamshell airbrake at the rear of the fuselage — opening like a giant petal to create massive drag on landing. Paired with spoilers, this system helps bring the aircraft...

I really enjoyed my time flying the BAe 146 (classic, not RJ😎) G-MIMA, G-OINV, G-MABR and G-MANS the most frequent.

That clamshell airbrake is iconic! My BAe 146 model build reminded me: unconventional doesn't mean wrong. Engineering creativity at its best. ✈️

“Probable Cause: The pilot's operation of the airplane while intoxicated, which resulted in a loss of airplane control on landing” (and at the wrong airport) July 18 2019: a private Citation II crashes in Nevada (US), no casualties. Jet left the runway on landing at Mesquite, lost its undercarriage, and was destroyed in a fire. The aircraft was on a ferry flight, and it was not intended to land at Mesquite: the pilot was later arrested on suspicion of flying while drunk (later confirmed) (Below is an exact quote of the accident report: I can imagine that when this came out, the pilot was busy printing CVs) “After authorities arrived on site, the pilot was arrested for operating an aircraft under the influence of alcohol. The pilot was found to have a blood alcohol level of .288, which exceeded the FAA's allowable limit of .040. This likely contributed to the pilot landing at the incorrect airport and his subsequent loss of airplane control during landing” More info here, from the NTSB report "The flight departed Pasco-Tri-Cities Airport, Washington, at about 16:25 on a ferry flight to Las Vegas-Henderson Sky Harbor Airport, Nevada. While approaching Class B airspace, air traffic control noted the pilot’s slurred speech and repeatedly asked if the oxygen system was working. About 85 miles from the destination, the pilot reported having a nearby airport in sight and requested a visual approach several times, despite being instructed to continue southwest. The airplane soon dropped off radar, landed at the unintended airport instead, and touched down hard about halfway down the runway before sliding to a stop on the left side, with the fuselage and wings largely destroyed by post-impact fire".
