Once they replace the leading edges.....if you look at some of the photos, there are a few decent dents in them....but yes, it will fly again.Plane still usable.
Might be a good candidate for EMAS.They may have to look into a crash barrier there!
Here's a dumb question. Is an incident like that disastrous for a jet? I guess sheet metal can get bent and landing gear can get messed up, but if it doesn't collapse, is the repair pretty straight forward?

That'll buff right out.
If they had just had panel-mounted iPads, they would have been fine...
I know that if I want to land on the first 1000' I have to pitch the airplane up noticeably more than normal in the roundout. AFaIK there's no mention of the upslope in the AFD or any other runway information source.
Typically no. Easy repair, also no.
A Cessna 525B ran off the runway, busted the left gear completely out and damaged the wing spar in the process, collaped the nose gear, damaged both flaps, both ailerons, engines ingested FOD and were overhauled, etc. Reskinned the left side of the fuselage from the main cabin door aft to the engine pylon.
The airplane took about 18 months to repair but it flew squawk free on the test flight.
that's kinda what I was wondering. Prop strikes and engine overhauls are almost guaranteed in off runway incidents with most of our planes. In a lot of cases, it can result in a salvage since fixing isn't economical. I was wondering if outcomes were a little different when props aren't involved.
There's some suspicion that the fact that the first 1000 ft of runway 10R slopes up at nearly a 1% grade leads some pilots to aim well beyond the numbers and touchdown zone. In this incident a couple reliable witnesses told me the plane didn't touch down until crossing taxiway F which is almost exactly halfway down the runway.

I think they proved that point quite well....they were well beyond a safe touchdown zone.
Where did you get a 1% upslope from just out of curiosity?
There's about a 12 foot elevation change from the end of the runway to the high point approximately 1000 ft from the end.Where did you get a 1% upslope from just out of curiosity?
