They are installing EMAS "Engineered Material Arresting System" at our airport.  Looks like it worked today at Burbank.

Indeed it did. I’d like to see the removal process. It’s buried up to the nacelles.

Can we correct the title to "overruns the end of the runway"

Just checked to make sure my brother isn't in Burbank.

It worked well at Charlie West in 2013? 2014? Kept a plane from going over the edge and off the steep side of the hill . . .

Sure looks like it did.

On my trip home from purchasing the O... a regional jet over-ran the end of the runway... It was an aborted T/O...

Our lunch stop turned into an overnight stay, while they pulled the offending jet from the trap... the other runway was down for maintenance...

That engineered materials works really well.

It is only going to be able to dissipate so much momentum... so there will be a weight and speed maximums that will work for this system...

Any idea if it works for GA weight planes?

Well, it is a twin engine airplane and those are more dangerous than singles...

Sure went better than the last time.
