Near-miss at Toronto's Pearson International
Yet another close-call between two air carriers on the ground, involving failure of one aircraft in adhering to LAHSO procedures while the other was on the take off roll. The two aircraft came within 50 feet of each other, prompting Canada's TSB to investigate the incident. (online.wsj.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Ted...a near miss means they nearly hit. It does NOT mean they hit. Also, here in the states, many airlines do not accept a LAHSO clearance as company policy. This is a clear case of pilot error, and happens too often. A controller issues an instruction, the pilot reads it back verbatim, then simply does something else. Based on the article, this does NOT sound like a LAHSO incident to me. IMHO.
It's a get what you pay for world.
Actually, the correct term in the USA for this is "NMAC", which is Near Mid-Air Collision. A "near miss" - used in the article - means they actually hit, but they nearly missed each other.
Ted, how can this be a NMAC, when both aircraft were firmly on the deck throughout this whole incident?
Not cool to post a link where you NEED to "subscribe" to read it. I suggest finding the story in full somewhere else so we dont have to subscribe to something we dont want to
I am a subscriber and couldn't make it work...not sure why. Don't think it was the poster's fault, but appreciate the cut and paste.
