Clear Your Runway in Minutes.
Not Hours.
The recovery contact list, the recovery kit, the seven most common scenarios, and ten rules before you tow — what to do when a disabled aircraft is on your runway, from first call to runway clear. Free. Vendor-neutral. No pitch.
— From the Field Guide
One crisis is enough. Don't make your aircraft recovery another.

— § 02 · The Cost of a Closed Runway
Clearing a disabled aircraft and reopening a runway takes most teams two to six hours — the better part of a day when it truly goes wrong. Every one of those hours ripples: diverted arrivals, canceled departures, crews and gates backing up, passengers stranded.
The recovery isn't a maintenance footnote. It's an operational event that touches your whole day. PlaneSkate exists to shrink it from hours to minutes.

The Aircraft Recovery Field Guide
A reference for the people who keep runways open — the emergency contact list, the recovery kit checklist, the seven most common scenarios, and ten rules before you tow, from first call to runway clear.
No pitch. Just the standard — from the people who build to it. Airports are folding it into their own recovery SOPs, whether or not they ever buy a thing.
No sales call triggered. It's yours to use, no strings attached.

— § 07 · How It Works
Staged. Trained. Reopened.
01
Staged on your field
The equipment lives on-site, ready before you need it — not a contractor you call after the fact.
02
Your crew is trained
One-person operation, trained in under 30 minutes. No jacks, no tire removal, no crane.
03
Reopen in minutes
Move the disabled aircraft, clear the runway, and get back to operations — runway clear.
Keep That Runway Open.
