The CitationJet departed Burlington (BTV) around 14:45 on a routine flight to Atlantic City (AIY). The pilot first made a low pass down runway 29 and then return to land on runway 11. After touchdown the airplane failed to stop and overran the runway and into the Intercoastal Waterway. The occupants were rescued by a boat.
According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,000 pounds required 2,930 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind, which was the approx wind at the time of the accident, the airplane required 3,500 feet of landing distance. Runway 11 at Bader Field is a 2,948 foot-long, 100 foot-wide, asphalt runway. Bader Field is normally closed to jet traffic.

PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's improper decision to plan a flight to a runway of insufficient length, his improper in-flight decision to land on that inadequate runway with a tailwind, and his failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the tailwind condition."

Neither a jet nor a boat but rather a complete idiot. Astonishing. Thx.

wow...what a moron

[STARMAN 352ND]

As a pilot myself that has got to be the dumbest thing i ever saw.
He should of shut off the engines.
Just by watching that tape he came in a little too fast and downwind
There was nothing funny about it...He could of killed the people inside the jet doing stuff like that.

Wow. I would think that tape was probably used as evidence in the accident investigation.

Can someone explain how that one engine managed to restart and spool-up? I would think the controls would have been damaged or flooded.

A crash is never funny, but some times stupid. These engines can restart if pilot did not pull throttle all the way back, if it shorts out due to water engines can auto restart. Just glad none got hurt.

More than likely, it all began with the pilot not doing the proper checks before egressing the aircraft.. I.E. Leaving the ignition going.. then a short, with fuel introduced and vrroooom..
