When you miss the entry to your terminal building and things start going wrong...

[@TheSoaringChannel]

Unfortunately I know how they feel. I've never had anything like this happen - but I've had days like this where one small tiny miss or whatever causes all this other terrible grief.

[@chrisholmes6311]

ATC was too casual with the instructions. Changed his mind a couple of times. Can’t help thinking that attitude contributed.

[@Habu12]

@@chrisholmes6311 with ya. That absolutely contributed. Rather nonchalant and unsure about the instructions. Now granted, the aircraft initially blew past its turn to begin with, but they clearly needed more solid, confident instructions, especially in the weather situation they were in.

[@eternalfizzer]

sometimes you just can't win for losing ... sounds like the end of a long day for everyone.

[@xplayman]

It’s easy to judge looking at that beautiful satellite image. Even judging that they missed the turn in the first place is easy. When you see the picture of the actual conditions with the taxiways covered in snow, you’ve got to give them a pass.

[@SB-cz9vo]

I agree with you. Although they didn't say so, I wouldn't be surprised if the real reason for the missed entrance was that they skidded past the exit with too little traction to start turning.

[@tin2001]

​@@SB-cz9vo More likely they saw something further up that they thought was their target, abd got fixated on that instead of look for the yellow visitors sign they were told they should turn at. Very easy to do at the best of times, and they were doing it with everything covered in snow.

[@michealwhitehead4081]

That's what I was trying to honestly understand and how this was any sort of a deviation other than the captain of the ship doctrine. This does not seem like a deviation to me on the pilot's part.

[@benoithudson7235]

When they think it’s a pilot deviation, ATC just says it, often sounding annoyed. They don’t waffle about with how it’s a procedure and they have to write it up this particular way etc etc. It seems pretty clear ATC in this case doesn’t feel it’s actually a pilot deviation.

[@ofacid3439]

[@NicolaW72]

Yes.

[@somejoe7777]

6:12 That "yeah" was the sigh of complete exasperation.

[@Xanthopteryx]

To all regarding pilot deviation: The controller MUST tell them that a POSSIBLE deviation has occurred. Yes, POSSIBLE. That is not ACTUAL deviation. Just following standard procedures, then they talk, maybe a small investigation, maybe some new guidelines that say that do less 'risky' maneuvers in bad weather and snow, like do not take sharp turns, maybe if unclear (new pilot in area), use follow-me and so on. This will like be just a small tick in the box of making safe aviation even more safe.

[@matthewmiller6068]

Yeah seemed like the controller was also trying to explain that to them like "yeah we have to do this just to cover everyone its not a big deal" before calling it. Seemed like they recognized everyone was doing their best but just have to follow the process.

[@dawnwelch6579]

Thank you for the explanation - I had a feeling that not all “deviations” are necessarily bad things, but rather to keep pilots alert for anything.

[@TEMPLE7D]

Despite everything, I like this pilot. Love when he double checked if runway 6/24 is clear.

I love how wholesome this whole thing was, the ATC was super helpful and the pilots were doing their best too. I loved the "just stay warm up there" as well as Ops thinking fast and far ahead. Nobody got emotional, nobody got angry, oopsies happen and this was such a neat way to handle it.

[@JasonGillmanJr]

I can tell you first hand that LAN ATC is great to work with.

[@matthewmiller6068]

The crew seemed to also be replying more clearly than I've heard most in the readback, especially when offered to taxi on the runway double-confirming and specifically clarifying the runway was clear even though they were just cleared to use it...seemed like everyone was working together quite well until they got a tad tight on the turn and ran thru the grass.

[@JasonGillmanJr]

@@matthewmiller6068 I'm kind of surprised he went long. Usually if I biff it, it's because I turn too early and hit C1, which isn't a huge issue since it's possible to keep going to the AvFlight ramp.

[@Veritas1992]

If you’ve never operated in snow/ice conditions, especially at night, it changes the game drastically. Many times the entire taxiway/runway is obscured and with no lines to follow it’s hard to tell where the middle of the pavement is.

[@ubalkan]

Nicest and kindest atc i ever heard. i didn’t want the video to end

[@davidb4113]

Based on FFA order JO 7210.632, the controller was required to report the incident, or otherwise action can “be taken as a result of failure to report”. Per the order: “All employees must ensure that the following occurrences…are reported.” Which includes: “A-6.f Any instance in which the aircraft unintentionally maneuvers off the runway/taxiway.”

[@dadbackwards4448]

As a controller since 1988, I am sure that refers to reporting it to the Sup, or a log entry. Not a pilot deviation.

[@JasonPhipps]

*POSSIBLE pilot deviation.

[@dadbackwards4448]

@@JasonPhipps This is NOT a pilot deviation. In our world, that being ATC, this is a aircraft accident/incident. So no need for the Brasher statement. Just a log entry and the notifications on the watch Sup checklist for aircraft accidents and or incidents, which this was.

[@jort93z]

Would they not need to report instances where the aircraft intentionally manuvers off the taxiway into the grass? interesting.

[@dadbackwards4448]

@@jort93z 1st of all, intentionally??? Do you think they intentionally taxied the a/c off into the grass???? 2nd, read what I said. Big difference between a P/D and an a/c incident or accident. The pilot did not get an instruction wrong, did nothing to get a "pilot deviation". He did not read back something wrong, did not misconstrue a clearance, he simply drove the aircraft into the grass on his own. He chose the route. That is a incident/accident. It gets REPORTED via us, meaning ATC. How do I know this, I have been doing this since 1985. Just actually read what I previously said.

[@hayleyxyz]

[@TheOReport1994]

6:12 That's the saddest 'yeah' I've ever heard. ☹

[@Rhaman68]

For the “perfect” observers making negative comments, the view from the cockpit is limited; airports can and do have different sized taxiways all with a maximum size aircraft capacity in weight and turning radii, add a bit of language challenges and situations like this one do occur. Thankfully not fatal as the recent missed instructions causing a crash in Japan. Recall the fatal Comair crash in Lexington, KY as the pilots attempted to depart in a closed not illuminated too short runway. It’s tough out there. Be kind.

[@silmarian]

Not just that, but it looked like the taxiway was covered in snow making seeing where the edge is even harder.

[@batshevanivylerner8582]

@@silmarian exactly....looked like it was snow covered which would definitely make it difficult to figure out where the taxiway is.

[@jonesjones7057]

Agreed. Whenever this happens all I think is, I feel bad for them and, there but for the grace of God go I. You can be careful as possible and still get bit with snow all over taxiways hiding the edges and center lines, signs covered in snow and an unfamiliar airport, poor visibility, and sliding on ice, especially if it's already been a long day/night.

[@SlyAceZeta]

Typically, VASAviation doesn't include Airport Ops vehicles in the videos with ground controllers, so when Ops 1 came on at 0:38 I was a bit confused. Then I saw all that snow. No way is this the pilot's fault; the ground is absolutely covered. There is a little bit of a delineation showing where the taxiway is, but it's really small and we have the benefit of a still picture taken from ground level. I hope the pilots aren't too hard on themselves and won't get reprimanded any serious way for this. I think that airport just needed more snow plows.

[@Raptor747]

Ultimately, an incident like this is useful for providing data and insight into ways to improve safety and operations across the board. At worst, there's some kind of training deficiency that the airline will need to correct, but this isn't pilot error. The important part is that no one was hurt and the plane itself wasn't significantly damaged.

[@CaffeineGeek]

MSN 1966 has had a tough career. Spent it's entire existence flying for airlines that went defunct. Add a taxiway excursion to it's jinxed life. 🙂

[@arkiefyler]

If only the scene was as clear as the video! Greater than 90 degree turns on taxiways (75ft wide?) are always dangerous. Snow berms are always in the way. Great for dragging engines through! And they seldom clearly define the edge of the hidden pavement. Did I mention sliding on the ice?! Time for tire chains!! 😜 I'll bet this is the first rime at LAN by the crew, also.

[@VASAviation]

Yeah, definitely the snow made things way harder

[@North_West1]

It was a charter flight, so unlikely the crew was familiar with the airport. Dark, snow covering normal markers, and ice.

Yeah, made me surprised they preferred B-C instead of C1 straight-in. IT was a little more narrow, but kind of a straight-across.

In hindsight I wonder if the crew thought about asking for Ops 1 to act as a follow me vehicle to maintain the centreline.

[@vbscript2]

While I appreciate how helpful the controller was trying to be to the pilots, more standard phraseology for the taxi instructions would have been nice, especially when he initially gave them instructions to cross a runway. Runway entrance/crossing clearances always need to be 100% unambiguous and you could tell from their responses that the pilots were not clear on whether he was actually clearing them to enter the runway at first or not. Thankfully, they spoke up to clarify. Granted, I don't think that had any impact at all on the actual incident here, but nevertheless something that it seems like LAN needs to work on.

[@mrplowjrezv]

I've never seen the cockpit view in the winter but from other high profile vehicles snow blindness can be a factor. It's difficult to judge 3D surfaces when everything is white. In short it's hard to tell where the edge on the ground you can easily see the vertical snow surfaces not so much from above. I think everyone handled this pretty well. I think the deviation will be a nothing burger. He missed a turn at a "visitor" sign. An error, but more than likely he didn't see it. Both controller and crew used adequate care and caution throughout the incident.

That means that that type of aircraft may not regularly fly into that airport, in which case it would be understandable that they don't have the equipment handy. Oftentimes charter aircraft won't physically pull into a gate anyway, so will have no expected need to be towed/pushed back at all the next day. I remember that I was on a Delta regional jet that diverted to a smaller airport because of weather, and if I recall, we had to wait for them to borrow the tow-bar from American Eagle to push us back from the gate. If all the American Eagle workers had been gone for the day, I don't know what plan C would have been.

They can't just go ahead and pull it out. This is classed as an aircraft recovery, and will need a bit more than a tug and bar.

[@austinj3881]

We’re stuck. Okay stay right there 🤔

[@austinj3881]

Technically it is a pilot deviation when he failed to make the turn as instructed. Normally when this happens which isn’t all that uncommon, the plane doesn’t end up in the grass later. Unless a pilot is just really bad at following instructions or causes an issue, then it’s rare to give a deviation to them for poor taxi skills but when you exit the surface area, then reports will have to be done. I highly doubt the FAA and FSDO will do anything to the pilots, the company on the other hand may have something to say to the pilots. Missing the turn is a pilot deviation. Taxing off the taxiway is an incident.
