Title: Random short clips
Post by: wiedehopf on June 19, 2018, 04:35:10 PM
Let's start this thread with this one:

19.06.2018 Denver Center:
Pilot: Tornado off our left
Controller: Thanks for the report, that is about 15 miles east of my house!

At SFO EVA-Air was unable to takeoff 28R but 28L was fine, which puzzled both controller and pilots.

28R is longer than 28L and even the obstructions should be a tiny bit better that is why it is a regular occurence for pilots to ask for 28R.
Not this time though and EVA-Air was lucky they were just closing 28R and opening 28L after some nightly repairs.
I guess they could have used a new METAR for the 28L calculation with slightly better winds and 1 degree celcius colder, but apart from that i have no idea.
Anyway i guess they were very heavy.

Pertinent METARs: (actual time of departure 0854Z, but this is what they would have based their calculations on)

Quatari A350 is stuck at JFK!

Thank you Caro.
I had a much better one where Kennedy ground compared the airport to a Gulag the Delta he was talkin to could now leave. But somehow at the time the joke seemed a little off and i thought i'd just not put it on the internet.

Note the "Phew, we are heavy today"

Anyway more to come and hi tigerheavy.

Not sure if this is interesting or not. SW1050 scolded for not listening to KATL Ground. 7/26/2018 0100Z
This is the first time I've ever posted a recording so let me know if I am doing it wrong.

I came across it when trying to find any sort of communication about DAL1662. Mother in Law was on the flight and said they had to do a go-around because someone else was on the runway. I don't think it was a near miss but she said it felt close. Flightaware has the goaround at around 9:24pm ET 7/25/2018. I can't seem to find anything. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I am checking the 0100Z recordings for 7/26.

Fantastic, thank you. Edited clip attached. Nothing too exciting it seems. Sounds like they were letting an expedited flight cross the runway and gave them the heads up that it may end up being a go-around. Not as perilous as my MILs imagination made it seem.

Not so short but not deserving it's own thread either. China Southern doing some shenanigans approaching JFK.
According to the radar the CB they were talking about was drizzle at most and there was no red anywhere near them.

Oh well if you give yourself vectors on the localizer you better watch when you arm it. They probably called established on a sidelobe as they were quite close and still offset. In the right turn the controller then reported the offset and cleared them for a visual approach.

The turn back onto the localizer looks a bit wild but hey they landed just fine :)
(I have the strong impression they just pressed "DIRECT ZULAB" which is the final approach fix and the autopilot did the rest.)

KATL Tower controller insists that AA2601 use full callsign over the radio. AA2601 obliges. Controller is not thrilled.

I can see the eye-rolling in the cockpit from here...
Title: Re: Random short clips
Post by: wiedehopf on October 11, 2018, 02:58:55 PM
To be clear: the controller is required to require the full callsign as in "american 2601"

Answering only with the number is not enough for runway hold short instructions.
There is a FAA rule somewhere stating that controllers need to hear that. So the controller is just doing what he is legally required to do.

("American" is the callsign of the airline not "American Airlines", the pilots are being bad sports. The controller has better things to do than to annoy 2601)

Fair on requiring American and the number, not being a pedant but "airlines" just flat incorrect.
Title: Re: Random short clips- AHY101 confusion on approach to JFK
Post by: Carro on October 21, 2018, 03:44:42 PM
When AHY101 checked in with approach runway 31R was closed so they were assigned 31L. 31R opened soon after but AHY101 was never told to change to it so it ended with some confusion when they were cleared for ILS 31R.

This was a great recording and very interesting. I transcribed it if you'd like to read it. 

I think both the pilot and the ATC were more concerned with what they were going to say that they didn't listen closely to the other. There were opportunities for both parties to ask for clarification.

When I looked at the radar tracking of this flight, the pilot was zig-zagging on his approach instead of completing his turn to heading 040.



AHY101: Good morning, AZUL with information Oscar

JFK APP: AZUL101 Heavy, Kennedy approach, expect ILS runway 31L approach. ILS 31L

AHY101: Affirm ILS 31L Azerbaijan 101, AZUL101.

DAL312: 31R, 040. Delta312.

AHY101: AZUL101 we were cleared before for 31L ILS.

JFK APP: No. I cleared you for the right side. Apparently there was a runway change, but I still gave you the right, you said, ‘Confirmed,’ and you still continued for the approach. So right heading 090, plan ILS 31R.

AHY101: … uhh I think … confirm the right headings.

JFK APP: Just fly heading 090, please AZUL. Fly heading eastbound, 090.

Thanks for the transcript i didn't feel like listening.

Somehow missing the somewhat typical: "Approach clearance canceled" from the controller.
But even if you are cleared for the approach a heading instruction should remain a heading instruction and be followed.
I mean they even read it back but apparently didn't turn.

There wasn't really anything relevant around it and i purposely kept it without callsigns because of it being explicit.

Post by: Carro on June 30, 2019, 03:32:55 PM
This is older. The controller wanted them to keep their speed up and the pilot said they couldn't do that. She then cancelled their approach clearance and the pilot told her she should not do that for traffic behind them. I was just curious who was right in this? They were vectored around in a circle and was cleared the approach again about five minutes later, free speed this time.

Title: Re: Random short clips
Post by: wiedehopf on July 01, 2019, 03:16:58 AM
Miscommunication.

If the pilot had offered 180 knots to 6 or even 7 DME the controller would have had no problem.

The controller could have also offered that because i think the BA pilot was a little too huffy to even understand the question how long he would be able to maintain 180.

ZALPO is at 6.8 DME which is 5.4 nmi from the threshold.
(https://de.flightaware.com/resources/airport/KJFK/IAP/ILS+OR+LOC+RWY+22L/pdf)

In the approach chart you can also see another problem: DME is 1.4 nmi more than distance to the threshold.

Now the controllers mean 180 to 5 nmi from the threshold.
Saying "180 knots to 5 miles" would be unambiguous.

180 to 5 DME is a little ambiguous though.

Not sure if that ambiguity is ever a problem, but i believe it might well be sometimes.


Anyway the pilot was busy explaining why he couldn't fulfill that ("ridiculous" in his eyes) request.
The controller only wanted to know how long he could maintain 180.

Which he then replied that he was slowing to 160.

When the approach clearance was given the BA plane was "7 from ZALPO" which means on a 12 mile final.
Slowing to 160 so far out was as i said probably a misunderstanding.

They were both within their rights to do what they did though.
The pilot can slow down if he deems it necessary and the controller can resequence them to keep up efficiency.

One might argue just slowing down the plane behind BA might have been more efficient and that the controller acted out of spite.
But being uncooperative with ATC might get you going in circles, that's just how it is.

Totally agree with you, Wiede.

Thanks for sharing, Carro! Do you know what date this was? I can try find the ADSB data of the airplanes and display them on my radar simulator to see how close the traffic behind was or what was the sequence that the lady had built up.

Anyway, I think BAW was wrong here - kind of - and a bit obstinate.

Wiedehopf, thank you for your detailed answer. So from your answer I take it that it is not true, the way the BA pilot clamied, that it is not an FAA approved reason to cancel their approach clearance for traffic that they are ahead of?

This was in April, do you still have data that far back?
It was this one

Thanks Carro! And affirm, I can download track data from one year back. Will go for the rest of traffic around BAW and display them see what the situation looked like for the lady.

Best regards

Here's the video. Better quality video will be available soon on VASAviation with some more info and traffic. For now it's only the radar showing arrivals at the time.

Here you can see altitude and Ground Speed. The lady had the sequence well built up already and didn't want it to be messed. Two interesting things I find is how she later put BAW between two again and a Jetblue passing over 22L to establish on 22R. That was a nice move.

I'm not sure if the BA pilot even said FAA. Didn't quite catch by whom the procedure wasn't approved.

Technically the pilot might be right, he still had to do a circle ;)

And complaining like he did on frequency is a no-no.
After landing he can easily get a phone number for the NY Tracon and i'm sure he can discuss his complaint.
Such discussion clogs up the frequency and if the controller isn't as collected as this one it can create a dangerous situation.

I've heard the tower send around small planes because a Super was too close behind them.
That's not an approved procedure either probably but it makes much more sense to reduce delays for everyone because sending a Super around you have to apply wake separation and it takes up much more time that the final approach is occupied.

That really creates some fuel burn, going around and being sequenced for a second approach.
This little circle is not a problem.

But he probably is right and it may not be an approved procedure.
His behaviour on the radio is much less approved though.

Just tried to post an audio clip of one minute and change, but was unable. Has this thread gotten too long for the servers to handle?

EDIT 7/11/19: problem resolved - clip in question is now in a separate thread.
