Austin Incident

[kombucha23]

I can’t wait to see if this get scrubbed from replays so you can’t pull it up anywhere. This guy ranks just under LAS Alcoholic on the Mid Shift on my Top Ten Biggest ATC Goofs of All Time YouTube video.

Was FedEx really 3 mile final when he cleared WN or was it like 2.5ish?

By the time he got done reading the RVRs probably like 1mile ?

Runway would be the localizer critical area which can have a departure pass through it. Glideslope critical area is the one that can't have anything go through it, but that's on the opposite side so it wouldn't be a factor. 3-7-5.

Glide slope critical area is from the point the glide slope is next to the runway thru the threshold tho. Yes it’s also offset to the east side but unless local wanted to shoot an intersection departure past the glide slope that southwest was gonna protrude.

Controller didn’t even say “ILS critical area not protected” with a midpoint RVR at 600.

Sooooo there goes our pay raise we were negotiating for

What do you expect from an agency that's virtually impossible to get fired from, no standards and the foresight of Mr. Magoo. The tech is pretty much the only thing preventing fireballs at this point. Not to mention the garbage that's on the flight decks these days. I'll stay on the ground and away from the extended center lines, thanks!

2 left turns 100 ft vertical 0.0 lateral… I’m telling you guys this clown is a domestic terrorist and FDX saved the day. (Change my mind sign)

Lmao. I was just joking cus the last session we got in radar was about if you have a deal then to keep working to fix it. Haha. And one turn was more left!

Reddit thread is 100x worse. I’d guess that he did some banging out. Or they just gave him straight up admin

Negative. You're giving the entire system WAY too much credit by inferring "something was probably done". worked the next day as if nothing happened.

i mean i'd be on admin as well, probably talking to a therapist, medically dq for anxiety on full pay for the next 30 years as a qa investigator telling people what they did wrong

He did for sure? That’s insane. I’d actually picture other controllers refusing to work.

Ain’t no way man that’s unbelievable

If FDX didn’t save the day the controller has to sit in a jail cell right?

Let me introduce you to qualified immunity. When everyone wants to get rid of qualified immunity cus of cops I’m like ?

 

[WavesAndClouds]

So can we lobby to bring back FDT Fam Flights because of this? I mean you could say it would be helpful. Probably wouldn’t have helped here but ya know.

 

[Billybob]

I'm gonna say this guy hit a 9.9 on the FAFO scale

How many other mid level up/down controllers are still in training after 4 years like this dude?

 

[DADDYSbabyBIRD]

This is where the TRBs sometimes are way too lax, 4 years is a long time to train anywhere.
