Runway incursion

[Jimboscr]

This is not strictly an RV story, but anything that helps us learn to prevent a safety problem is good to look at. I saw this little video recently and it made me sit up, I was told that this was shot at Moorabbin (In Victoria Australia) keep looking at the left hand side of the screen.

The aircraft on the left was under the control of a student pilot with an instructor beside him, the instructor was distracted and did not notice that the student broke through a holding point.

It makes me shudder to think what might have happened if the landing aircrafts pilot didn't have quick reflexes, and enough skill (luck?)to prevent it from stalling.

I hope this works as I have never tried to upload a video before. (I have had several tries to get the video link to work, and all I can come up with is to use the URL above)

Thanks Jorge, I appreciate the help. I was a bit lost trying to figure out the way to do this. All I could get was the little red crossed box.

Cheers

Wow, that's pretty sobering.

Moorabbin has a bit of a reputation for incursions.

I'll be flying SOL into that airport on the 26th, current plan is to leave YPPF on the morning of the 26th, top off the tanks at YMTG, then cruise up the Great Ocean Road to YMMB. Hopefully all the students are grounded 'cos the instructors are on holidays

Sounds like a good trip, and it will a lot better than driving it, the boxing day crowds will be on the roads and there are bound to be drivers with post Christmas hangovers!

Holy cow. That would have ended badly. I vaguely heard voices in the background. I'm sure it was a few choice words for the other pilot. Was there any other information? What distracted the pilots on the ground so that they didn't see the plane that had just landed.

This reminded me of a crash that took place in March 2000 at Sarasota Bradenton international airport in Florida. Lets all be careful out there.

The ATSB Accident Report. Page 50 is the one you want.

I would like to think that the pilot landing noticed the taxiing a/c way before that and should have expected that to happen. As you can see, that problem is built in to that airport.

Out here we have deer. And they don't have radios or controllers.

Thank goodness for ground effect! I had a 172 pull out on short final this past summer at a little fly-in. I am glad we had an IO-540 and CS prop.

Whoa, that gave me chills!
