@Murchr, how can that happen in North America?

Is aviation and security technology over-hyped?


But ofcourse how can such a blander happen in this day where we have gps in everything? But un professionalism in the aviation sector is common in North America in 2011 an Egypt Air plane almost crushed headon with a Lufthansa plane at JFKIA while taxing..the Egypt air plane took a wrong turn on instructions by the air traffic controller. They stopped the two planes but the Lufthansa plane got damaged. Anyway this is a KQ thread
JFK has hundreds of flights per day. Possibly 1,000+ [includes takeoffs + landings and I am sure there are stats somewhere] and I have a feeling that JFK has more flights in a month than Dar+ JKIA has in a year. There was a great article about the over-worked Air Traffic Controllers at JFK. Back to KQ... Let's hope for no more mishaps. They need every plane in the air!

Am a pilot(not KQ) and i really pity the kind of views expressed in this page by people who know nothing about Aviation.Runway excursions on ILS approach to a CAT 2 airport in poor visibility, heavy rains are a common everyday occurence and a rarely due to pilot error. Whatever happened leave it to the professionals a report will be made. KQ pilots are as good as the world best. They are flying the Boeing 777-200, 777-300, the dreamliner. Incidents happen everyday worldwide How many crash landings has BA had in the last 1 year alone at Heathrow only? Does that make their pilots bad? no they are one of the best. FYI the KQ 777 video a guy has displayed here on approach to Amsterdam in heavy crosswinds is a display of superhuman skills and the pilot ability to correct the angle and is used worlwide for training.

VVS its nothing to do with being overworked bla bla, its simply incompetence. When planes taxi on the run ways they are led by several people who use a pre determined routes. In large airports the controllers man certain routes and almost everything is automated, infact they find it so boring that several have been caught asleep leading to planes landing without them.

The time the controllers sleep is mainly the night shift because of lesser traffic and the relatively long hours per shift that they do. Automation is not a reason. They actually give a lot of information to the aircraft's captain
