2 Air Canada planes have a near miss
Although this occurred on March 8,2020 it just goes to show you that reducing the number of aircraft flying doesn't reduce some dangers. Also makes you wonder what's going to happen at thousands of airports that now have almost no activity. It's nesting season, and birds will be very happy to have all this new airspace. The rule of unexpected consequences applies. (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"The Boeing had to hold on a taxiway to cool its brakes for around 45 minutes".
WHOA Big Girl Whoa!
Kudos to the 777 crew. Well avoided.

Did the YYZ Tower controller really clear the B777 for takeoff or did the crew just go?
NavCanada doesn't clear multiple aircraft for takeoff unless VFR, like air shows, and only clears the lead plane with the rest following the leader.
This article sounds very odd. NavCanada Tower ATC launch IFR aircraft into the hands of departure radar, with their knowledge and consent, who establish radar contact to provide safe separation, then hand over to centre radar. This all sounds like a snafu by the 777. Could be the Tower messed up, but highly unlikely with supervisors and any 777 knowing that's it's at least 90 second wait time for standard staggered departure.

90 sec wait time? never heard of it... there may be a 90 sec wait after a "heavy jet" takeoff... but not after a 190
I would never issue a takeoff clearance until previous departure 6000 feet and airborne ... controller and pilot foulup

Here's the CADORS report. Sure happened. https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cadors-screaq/rd.aspx?occdtefrom%3d%26occdteto%3d2020-03-28%26srchfldcd%3d6%26txt%3dAir%2bCanada%2b777%2bCYYZ%26srchtype%3d3%26rt%3dWS%26hypl%3dy%26cnum%3d2020O0472
The Tower shouldn't issue those clearances and the 777 should be questioning the tower's decision.

This isn't good if that's the case.
While, it's true that bird strikes happen often and aborted take offs occur probably just as often, things may have been so routine... Enough so that everyone became a bit too complacent. I bet that won't happen again.
