Don't think it's over after the "event" - it gets better!

Why would anyone try to do that?

Quote:
The pilot performed "a low pass" over the runway, and then touched down approximately 1,000 feet beyond the approach end of the 2,948-foot long runway, with a tailwind of approximately 10 knots. After touchdown, the airplane continued off the end of the runway, and subsequently impacted water. According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,400 pounds required 3,000 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind, the airplane required 3,570 feet of landing distance. The published airport diagram for the airport, was observed attached to the pilot's control column after the accident. A notation, which read, "airport closed to jet aircraft" was observed on the diagram. Additionally, the same notation, "Arpt CLOSED to jet traffic," was observed in the FAA Airport/Facility Directory. Examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical deficiencies.

I know its hind sight, but who would have known a jet would spool up like that sitting in the water? Those people are lucky the intakes didn't go under just then, would have been disasterous. Of course if I was in a sinking airplane (boat) the last thing I would do is find the fuel cut-off and turn of all electrical, I would be headed for the exit.

The FJ44 engines are basically autostart with a push of the starter button, and then come out of idle cutoff on the throttles at about 10% N1.

If the pilot never pulled the throttles into idle cutoff, then they can restart fairly easily after a short (by water) of the start circuit.
