Kingston Airport - KIN


Kingston Airport - KIN :

KIN has a single, asphalt (not grooved), runway measuring 8900 x 150 feet (2713 x 46 meters). ILS is available for runway 12 only. Current information indicates that given the wind direction of 320 degrees at 8 knots, the airplane carried out a tailwind approach and landing on runway 12. It will be months before all aspects of the event are thoroughly investigated. One thing that may be reliably speculated is that there are most likely a series of events that led up to the crash rather than one single cause. Most Aviation accidents can be traced back to multiple “Human Factor” errors. Additionally a study of FAA and NTSB data indicates that the following hazards increase the risk of a runway overrun: (1) A non stabilized approach, (2) Excess airspeed, (3) Landing beyond the intended touchdown point, and (4) Failure to assess required landing distance to account for slippery or contaminated runway conditions or any other changed conditions existing at the time of landing. The following are some of the Aviation terms and definitions that may be related to the investigation of the incident
