Damn. I used to fly around quite a bit in a 421 up until the company bought a King Air.

Is that a piston or turboprop?
The 421 was manufactured as a piston twin, but a few have been modified to turbines making it essentially a C425.

Geared turbo charged piston engine. Piece of shite

I believe most traffic in Hammond is small prop aircraft. The runway is long enough for some corporate jets and military aircraft, but primarily used by smaller single and twin props.
The longest runway is 6,502 feet. That's long enough for any narrow body commercial service. Now none of that flies there but the runway is plenty long.

I hated flying 421s

There were some rather substantially sized private jets using Hammond back when the Saints held training camp at SLU. Not sure if the runway has been extended since 1986 - '87.

Pensacola airport is only 6,500 ft and they have 757-200's from ATL come in, along with 738's and A320's. 6,500 is plenty.

It is most certainly not anything like a c425. Different wing, fuel system, pressurization, and turbine engine. Don't talk about shite you have no idea about.

I have flown several different types of jets in and out of Hammond, from Citation to Gulfstream Vs it is certainly large enough.

isn't it worse to lose the left engine over the right engine? Or is that specific to a jet/turboprop/piston engine airplane?

Well that's quite the contrast

I want to hear more about this crash, but I also want to hear about these Saban haircuts. Sounds like be to me.

It's worse to the lose the left engine and it's specific to prop planes regardless of whether or not it's a piton or turboprop. More thrust is created on the downward stroke of the propeller and propellers turn clockwise. So on the left engine the downward stroke of the propeller and the majority of the thrust is closer to the centerline of the airplane. Conversely the majority of thrust from the right engine is further outboard away from the centerline so if you lose the left engine nearly all of your thrust is far away from the centerline of the airplane causing a much more drastic yawing motion to the left.

Okay

Thanks for the refresher. My dad flew a Kingair 200 and Hawker 800 until he retired 20+ years ago. These responses bring back memories of things he used to tell me.

Critical engine.. Day one of multi engine training!

Yea, other than the 425 being a redesign of the 421 they are not anything alike.
