What: Yakutia Boeing 737-86-N en route from Rimini Italy to Rostov Russia
Where: Rostov Airport
When: Dec 1, 2012
Who: 120 aboard
Why: The Yakutia flight was landing at Rostov Airport and skid off the runway when the pilot applied brakes.
Passengers disembarked safely with no injuries.
It took half an hour to tow the plane the ten yards back to the runway with a 20 ton truck.
No injuries were reported. Passengers exited the plane via “ladder.” (Possibly a mistranslation!) The plane stopped on soft ground off the runway while it was raining.
On January 30, 2013, a Volkswagen Air Services Dassault Falcon 7X with 3 aboard was taking off from Berlin Tegel Airport when the plane developed a steering problem and skidded off the runway.
Witnesses said it looked as if the plane were caught by a gust of wind.
There were no injuries reported.

What: Trans States Airlines Embraer ERJ-145/United Airlines en route from Chicago to Ottawa
Where: Ottawa International Airport
When: Sep. 04 2011
Who: 44 passengers, 3 crew
Why: On landing in Ottawa, the plane slid, and veered off the side of the runway, with collapsed main gear struts.
On Apr 28th 2011, an Embraer ERJ-145 landed in Moscow with collapsed main gear.
Last year, another plane with the same airline also skidded off the runway into soft ground.
Sunday’s passengers describe coming down from a dark cloud to land in rain.
The landing is under investigation.
I do not know if this runway is incorrectly graded for drainage, or if the ERJ-145 has a special problem with main gear struts or struts in hard landings.
I do know I fly 100,000 miles on United in order to keep my status as a 1K member.
I do not know if the maintenance of the aircraft is as terrible as the typical maintenance of United plane interiors. If so, then we have huge problems. The refurbished planes of two years ago already look worn out. The galleys are grimy looking the toilets are terrible.
I could say bad things about the food, the lav hot water is not hot enough to meet standards required by most states for food workers, (where I have never seen Waterless Hand Sanitizers and for sure, NEVER have seen a food preparer or server wear gloves.)
Is United maintenance absolutely out of control? Maybe this stretches to other airlines, economizing on staff and maintenance due to the times.
I fly Delta, American, Virgin, they have some of the same issues, but, I see these problems in the United flights, no matter which direction I am headed.
Who knows yet if this incident is runway or plane, pilot training or just an old plane that needs better maintenance. But whatever truths the investigation reveals, the fact remains that no one steps up to the plate until something bad happens.
A Tara Air plane skidded off runway at Simikot Airport, Nepal, on November 28th.

The plane sustained substantial damage.

What: TRIP Linhas Aereas Aerospatiale ATR-42-300 en route from Sao Paulo to Ipatinga to Governador Valadares to Vitoria
Where: Ipatinga Brazil
When: Jun 28 2010
Who: 47 passengers and 4 crew
Why: On landing at Ipatinga, the plane veered off the runway. On touch down, the landing gear came loose and was damaged. The pilot announced to passengers that the left hand propeller did not go into reverse due to a malfunction.
A replacement flight was provided to accommodate passengers flying through to Governador Valadares or Vitoria.
There were no injuries. No opinion has yet been issued on whether the damage was due to a high speed landing or other cause. ANAC is investigating.
