k8rum Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Assuming you have clearance to cross a live runway it is still important ( extremely important) to have a bit of a look around & see if anyone else is using it........

Ed White Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Especially given the clear conditions and the fact the stack was quite visible. That's where the training comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k8rum Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Personally when I caught up with him I would have given the RH seat pilot a good twat with my flight case just to remind him to have a look out of the window BEFORE crossing a live runway. If that didn't work then the Captain would get one as well 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Campbell Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Would this kind of thing require an investigation and consequences for the pilots for not following protocol / procedure ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Surely the camera is foreshortening things somewhat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Perry Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yes I am sure it is foreshortened, but the Landing pilot who elects to pull up and go around has clearly decided that there is a runway obstruction so undoubtedly did the right thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't close, or concerning. Just that it's more dramatic due to the foreshortening. And absolutely the pilot did the right thing. I've landed at Van Nuys airport Los Angeles in a Cessna and on approach could clearly see a private jet being towed across the runway. I'm sure if a camera had been at the end of the runway a dramatic near miss shot could have resulted. On a side note, a company I worked for had a Cessna Citation biz jet. We called it the 'Near Jet' as it wasn't quite a Lear. 😬 (fast though) Edited by - Stridey on 7 Jul 2014 19:15:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed White Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Going around was the right choice. The runway might have been clear by the timje he got there, but assuming it wasn't, and given the same camera angle, imagine the conversation we'd be having then ps, near jet 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Noise Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I love having the best seat in the house when there's a pilot brain fart. Aerolinas crew should be flogged for that but they won't. Very little happens TBH, maybe a stern talking to and that depends on how strongly the airline views it. I'd be a bit harsh on the crew of the UtAir 767 too, they initiated the missed approach later than they should have (for whatever reason), as far as I'm concerned, once the front of the Aerolinas crossed the holding point/stop bar, the runway became blocked so the missed app should have occurred sooner.

Martin J Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Good job it wasn't in darkness or poor visibility. It must be nice have that reserve of power to get out of trouble quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
