185 people were onboard the aircraft. No injuries were reported. Airport authorities closed the runway after the incident to clean all FOD. The aircraft is still grounded 24 hours after the incident.
I'm glad the authorities closed the runway and cleaned the FOD. Besides mud and turf, there's a possibility of landing/runway/taxi lights being struck with debris ending on the runway and taxiway. (Especially if the airport has the older, raised style lights.)

@@Iggy3 Not at all, more shocked than anything from the tone. Just that most people won't understand the tone cause they're also speaking in Lithuanian, pair it up with the translation that looks like extreme sarcasm and you've got people thinking this pilots a jackass. Instead of "really, indeed" the translation would be "Most certainly (did)" and instead of "What kind of assistance do you need?" i think he meant more along the words of "do you need any assistance?"
When I was working cargo we had a dash-7 return after a round trip to a dirt strip looking even filthier than the plane in this video. Pilots were like - It was raining and we kind of slid sideways down the runway. The amount of crazy stuff I saw in 2 years of loading bush planes... maybe it has gotten safer now.
Friend, I've never drifted a car as much as I did on C150 on just one day with strong winds and melting snow slush on grass runways, while still learning to PPL :-)
Excellent save by the pilot. I am glad seatbelts are worn for landings. What a ride. Loved the response from the pilot to ATC; so casual. Next line off comms; "I need new undies!"
They'll be swapping out those engines for overhaul. *Crazy* amounts of water/spray/rain at moment of touchdown. Must have aquaplaned. Quite impressive regain of control on grass!🙃
Some aviators here in Vilnius report, that water don't hold on the runway in EYVI. Not sure how precise is this, but could it be some icing as temperature is around 0C these days with drizzle rain.
Not so much concern with the water, it’s the mud that was kicked up by the nose wheel getting ingested. Engines can handle LOADS of water, but not mud.
seems there's a dent in the right engine cowling too and I don't know about the flaps/slats position in the last picture they may also have caused something not great with the hydraulics
Former turbine mechanic here - if this were in North America, something like the following will happen: 1) no fan blade damage = clean engine with compressor wash, and then borescope the core for damage, if minor, blend/repair 2) fan blade damage, blend or swap out blades, and perfoem step 1 3) compressor wash shows lots of internal damage, beyond limits = engine out.

That was pretty impressive regaining control and getting that thing back on the runway without touching a wingtip! I'm not a pilot, but I'm guessing that was all rudder. Anyone on this channel have ideas about that? I'm also guessing there should not have been so much standing water on the runway.
what was impressive...was the lack of airmanship that caused this in the first place...and the poor decision to taxi when the landing gear may have been damaged.
@@alanb.4660 wouldn't it also be not sensible to keep taxiing under own power when possible your engines have ingested mud ? Or would that be not the case ?

So, he decided to do a little off-roading. Cool. The engineering which goes into the landing gear is really amazing. Glad everyone was safe, but he made a mess and I'm sure maintenance isn't going to be too happy washing the mud off.
I think a fire truck spray salute type wash may be needed. The grounds crew are going to be shaking there heads filling in the massive ruts in the grass.
I know some pickup truck drivers who, when they go off roading, won't wash their trucks off for days. They wear the mud as a badge of honor! That plane did some good off roading!
And that ladies and Gentlemen is why there is the runway strip. (Check ICAO annex 14 chapter 3.4). Where there must be no obstructions (neither up or down, so no ditches in the grass), all necessary objects need to be breakable and the surface needs to withstand an Aircraft at least once. It's not some random miracle the gear didn't break, it's in no small part due to aerodrome design specifications.
It looks crazy and was in fact dangerous. Unbelievable that the Pilots simply powered the Aircraft with the Engines out of the mud as if it would be a Rallye Car. "Really, indeed."
This was indeed a really botched landing. In the video it looks like Aquaplaning. Fortunately nobody was injured. It will take some time until this Aircraft is back flying. Thank you very much for picking this incident up!👍
Landing gear and the engines at the very least, but probably (depending on the G's experienced) a lot more, including bits and pieces of fuselage, wings, stabilizer and who knows what else.
@@btodoroff No, Avion Express is a Lithuanian Airline and this happened at Vilnius Airport in Lithuania. Russian Airlines are not allowed to enter EU-Airspace. This Aircraft came from Bergamo/ Italy.

Float aircraft emergency landed in the water and overturned - pilot able to get out with minor injuries. In Dakota County, MN approximately 1 hour ago.

One thing caught my attention is that Lithuanians' english accent is exactly like Russians when they speak English, despite the fact that they dont belong to the same linguistic group.
Oh yes, I realized that as well, yet one will find many pilots of various nationalities flying for an airline, as those are not employing local nationals exclusively. This could be in fact russian pilot flying for this baltic state carrier...
@@indyawichofficial1346Not very likely. Just after the Runway excursion the Pilot and ATC talked a short moment in Lithuanian with each other. Lithianian is a Balto-Slavic Lsnguage.
Idk if you can find audio for it since it was only a few days ago. But we just sadly had a fatal crash by where I live Coatesville. A single engine private plane went down shortly after takeoff into someone’s backyard.
Those 320s are as rugged as a Lada, tovarich. At least they walked away, reusing the aircraft is a different story. Given the superb airmanship displayed on the radio Nordwind has been nominated to join my personal no-fly list.

This is where the maintenance team either earns their pay or masks a problem that will down the aircraft twenty years down the road.

Plus it would have helped reinforce whatever the pilots report that happened to take burden off of them for the cause of the incident, if indeed it was caused by unreported surface conditions such as standing water.

The way the ATC answered "Okay" is more telling than everything else.
@@NicolaW72Indeed.
I’m guessing that aircraft will be due for a very expensive repair after all that mud going into the engines.
From the stills, it does not look as if much of the mud spray was forward of the intakes. They might have (mostly) got away with that. Full landing gear inspection, I guess. As for the passengers; well that will teach those in the cheap seats!
Aerodrome repairs will be costly too ^^ No Joke that's some Special Grass Out there in the runway strip.
Nani?! Kansei Dorifto!
