Near Mid-Air Collision Over Miami
An Argentina Airlines A340 landing at KMIA overshoots the final for runway 9 and ends up almost directly on top of an American 737 on final for runway 8L. (miami.cbslocal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
You caught that comment too, did ya Philip? I snickered as well. The Argintinian pilot also was so "busy" after his "miss" that he forgot his flight number for a sec.
They called that a near miss??? Looked like 1000' vertical separation to me...just another pilot who should be working in the terminal only...
My favorite oftrn-used quote is, ends up "almost directly" on top. Well, is it almost, or directly?
SI SENOR.............
Love to know how many of those increased incidents involved foreign airlines with minimally trained pilots and lax proficiency standards.
If you listen on the approach and tower frequencies of JFK between 3 and 6 PM every afternoon you will probably faint if not suffer a heart attack when all flights from Europe and some from the Far East start flowing into the stream. I admire the operators for having mastered their auditive virtues and are able to understand them pilots, some of which should not be allowed into U.S. air space. You can use your computer for listening in, if you are interested, this is the link: http://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=jfk
You should listen to how many US pilots lax proficiency standards as you put it, they can't even give a standard position report in the correct format!!!
