This will work better, http://aa.usno.navy.mil/ the link

No, you're wrong.


You're wrong again.

That would make 2 other pilots on board, you forgot the captain!

First Officer WAS the pilot ... and lived! There was another pilot
aboard, an AirTran pilot who was catching a ride to Atlanta to pilot a
flight.

Plane weighed 49,087 pounds and would have required 3,539 feet to
rotate.

The runway was 3,500 feet.

Three tire marks are in the grass at the end of runway.

Plane hit a "burm" and became airborne.

390 feet past the runway the plane struck a fence.

Cleared a barbed wire fence at 920 feet.

Hit a stand of trees and continued 900 feet beyond trees.

No skid marks on runway. Reverse thrusters not deployed. Breaking
spoilers not deployed.

Total elapsed time from when acceleration began to the end of the
cockpit voice recording: 29 seconds.

NTSB collecting and examining NOTAMS.

I entered "sunrise calculator" on Google and it spat this:

http://www.exptech.com/sunrise.htm

I selected LEX and the date from the drop down menus, the "Daylight Time"
box is checked. It gives sunrise as 06:04:37 AM.

It seems odd that there is a "Daylight Time" box at all.

It is also odd that it doesn't agree with:

SUGGEST POSSIBLE WARNING PAGE (SIMILAR TO
HOUSTON HOBBY) TO CLARIFY MULTIPLE RWY ENDS.

What does this mean? Where would the page go? What would it say?

Jose

The first page of their Jep binders? In bold letters on any/all SIDs for
KLEX?

"NOTICE TO CREW OPERATING OUT OF KLEX, Lexington, Kentucky"

CLOSE PROXIMITY OF RWY 22 and RWY 26

As the departure ends of RWY 22 and RWY 26 are in very close proximity to
each other, exercise extreme caution and confirm visually and by reference
to flight instruments that you are on RWY 22. RWY 26 UNUSABLE for turbine
aircraft use.

Why should Rwy 26 be unusable for turbine aircraft? It is 3,500 feet long and
plenty long. Geez if you're going to ban turbines from 3,500 ft runways, the
Citations using my home airport would have to go elsewhere because 3,500 is
the longest runway. How about just banning aircraft from using the runway if
they need a longer one? Wait, I think that's already covered somewhere.....

You're wrong again.

This is just contradiction, and I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.

About one hour prior to sunrise.


Are you sure? The preliminary NTSB report gives the time as 6:07 EDT. An
online calculator gives the time of sunrise at KLEX on that date as 6:04:37
AM.

Eastern Standard Time. LEX is now on Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
