FAA investigating near miss on O'Hare runway last week
Whoops.. Can't imagine what could be wrong with turning on to an active runway without permission... (www.chicagotribune.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I just wonder about the use of the term "steered around it". Did he abort takeoff and steer around it or did he continue takeoff and rotate over the top of him. Either way, must have been interesting for the pax.
The United Express plane, traveling to Toronto, "had just begun to enter runway 28 Right" when the pilot of the American Eagle Embraer 145 steered around it and departed safely en route to Columbus, Ohio, Molinaro said. Sounds like the offending plane was not yet fully on the runway and the Eagle guy saw him and swerved around him and then flew away. At any rate, kudos to him! Night is the most hazardous time on the big multi-runway commercial airports. A fully functional taxi display (IPAD) or alert first officer would have prevented this occurrence. Loss of situational awareness is the cause and believe me I've had lapses in the thick of things. I believe it is the most prominent factor in modern era accidents. And the most difficult to eradicate!
Especially at ORD where it is not only multi-runway but multi directional runways.
Yep. You guys thawing out yet?
Starting to. Fixing to run into town but still trashy
Jerry that was very lucky for this airliner indeed. Never the less we don't want a repeat of the 1979 DC10 AA191 happening again to any airliner or any incident to lose lives at all
