KLM PILOTS VACATE ONTO A CLOSED TAXIWAY | Construction in Progress!

Approach briefing: NOTAMS....... Checked?

[@53classics]

Correct markings / yellow X on the exit?

[@basfinnis]

Have you seen the Notams for Delhi? It's like a ream of A4, hidden within is a really critical bit of information that you have to find by wading through piles of trivia about a cow eating grass 4.3 nm away or someone cutting the grass between 05:31 and 05:36 🙄 NOTAMs need to be brought into the 21st century instead of being a dumping ground of useless information.

[@MYeahman]

Lol the one this I have learned working in aerodrome ground ops is that pilots never ever check their NOTAMS.... The amount of times I've been working on remote strip's, ALA's etc under method of working plans that have published NOTAMS, and a pilot calls 10 mile final for a runway that has men and equipment all over it is honestly scary. Then they act like somehow you have done the wrong thing, often have no fuel to return to their departure destination and land on a parallel taxiway or something else stupid. Pilots, check your NOTAMS

[@VASAviation]

For construction? Definitely not necessary

[@mytech6779]

This is nothing to do with NOTAMs, they said E9 and mistakenly took E5. This is not reading the sign before turning. Maybe it is more difficult to read because E5 is a high speed exit or maybe the pilots just did not pay close attention and followed the common motions.

Is it the system or poor flight planning by the pilot or dispatcher?, And, is there a better system at hand?

[@basfinnis]

It's the NOTAM system that doesn't prioritise critical information but buries it in the NOTAMs.

[@rubenvillanueva8635]

@@basfinnis All NOTAMS contain critical information. It is up to the pilot to read and and decide how they will affect his flight.

[@TIO540S1]

@@rubenvillanueva8635 Have you looked at NOTAMs for a flight? For a simple flight of a couple of hours (say, Long Beach, CA to Denver Centennial) There are many hundreds, if not thousands of NOTAMs. Many of them are redundant and few affect a given flight. And those that do are buried among the hundreds or thousands that do not. You could spend as long reading NOTAMSs as flying the flight. It’s a ridiculously outdated system.

[@shootmespam0815]

I agree. The NOTAM System needs reworking for sure. Essential NOTAMS are buried in between hundrets of worthless gras cutting, or similar, NOTAMS. My personal "favourite" is planing any flight to/from/within India. Most of Indian Airports tend to write half of their AIP into the NOTAMS. Or sometimes at small french airports, some NOTAMS are only published in French, so its up to you to google translate it and hope that you get important information correctly translated. Another example was a lovely NOTAM, stating that ATC/Tower was not working at different times over a three day period, changing an airport into uncontrolled / VFR Traffic only. That happens sometimes, you might think. Yes, i agree. Problem was that this ATC closure NOTAM was buried in the FIR NOTAMS and NOT in the airport NOTAMs, because that would have been to easy....

Especially a runway exit where all you're really wanting to do is get off the runway quickly.

[@EdOeuna]

Why? The whole point of NOTAMS is that you’re meant to read through them and identify what it important to your flight. It’s pretty straightforward to do. It would be helpful for the tower controller to advise the exit to take, or to remind the pilots which exits are not available. Maybe KLM needs to create a company NOTAM showing which taxiways are available and which aren’t.

When you have a hundred worthless NOTAMs, it’s hard to dig through and find the one important one. One of these days we will catch up to 2022 but until then mistakes will happen. Great job by everyone for staying cool and working it out. No harm, no foul!

[@colinpotter7764]

I worked in a Notam Office for 30 years, the vast majority are known as CMA Notam, short for cover my backside and are not worth issuing. This one should have never left the Notam Office in that format as it is coded incorrectly, it has been given a M code for miscellaneous, it's far too important for that. Feel free to browse ICA Annex 15 for full details. The plural of Notam is Notam, you will never hear them described as Notams in a Notam Office.

[@micahsullivan1095]

Tower instructed him to vacate E9, so he had no excuse. He still vacated on E5 even after being told not to

[@rubenvillanueva8635]

It appears the pilot was already exiting at E5, before he made his call to tower, then was instructed to vacate via E9. 33R is quite long, depending on where he touched down, there should have been sufficient time to advise KLM to vacate at the end or at E9. I doubt the controller maintained an eye on KLM, and missed that he was vacating on E5.

But that’s not what was necessary. The other aircraft was not going to immediately land but rather wait until the tower controller gave them clearance to land. There was more than enough time for them to re align with the other parallel runway

[@alton4357]

Go around is when u cancel the landing the aircraft didn't get its landing clearance so he shouldn't tell him to go around

[@vbscript2]

There wasn't a need to send him around, but he should have said why he was sending him back to Approach on the first transmission. Just simply adding the worlds "runway blocked" to the beginning of his transmission would have been sufficient. Tower just sending a pilot who has been cleared for an approach back to Approach control with no explanation is confusing at best. I'm not sure how this country divides airspace and responsibilities between Approach and Tower, but my guess would be that Tower needed to send them back to Approach so that Approach could resequence them and decide whether they could side-step to the other runway or would just need to cancel their approach clearance and send them around the pattern.

[@thejoyofflying182]

@@alton4357 that´s wrong! The Tower tells you to go around even, when the clearence to land is not given. In Europe (compared to the US) the landing clearence is issued when the preceding aircraft leaves the runway (behind the hold short line) and there is no crossing traffic. With this in mind, the clearence to land was never given, but the order to go around. @sudo-bmitch is right. I would be suprised, too, when the tower controller just give me the frequency change to the approach controler without any explanation.

But the misusage of the word inshaallah by muslims, when they dont want to do a thing and can not say that they wont do it, led to the understanding that this person might not do it and inshaallah means maybe . "I will come tomorrow inshaallah" means I will come certainly but, there might be some obstacles beyond my power so I say with Gods willing I will come. Misusage is: I dont want to go and I say: "I will come inshaallah" so I mean I might not come.

Usually, rwy and twy closures are on the ATIS. We do not know if it was on the ATIS. Markings are used on Closed rwys and twys, often with flashing red lights and vehicles blocking access. As a controller, knowing you have two exits that are blocked (E4 ,E5), an additional advisory to landing aircraft to taxi to the end may have prevented this. Also, the controller may not know what "paved" means. So he came back with a " I can hardly hear you", and "I cannot see you", Looking at twy E5, from the tower, that is 62 meters in height, KLM should have been visible.

It should then broadcast a specific list, naming only the most consequential ones - those which would logically be expected to be used in the course of normal operations at the current time. If you're operating a two or three-pilot flight deck, you have the luxury of having one pilot dedicated to checking the NOTAMS for these closures carefully. If you're a single-pilot operation it's gonna be tougher to ascertain which taxiways are closed. But most of us have the ability to do the checking well in advance of arriving into the terminal area.

They’ve had a 6 hour flight to read NOTAMS and prepare for the landing. Surely, in all that time, they can appreciate the runway environment they’ll be landing on.

Ah KLM... always heading into a closed taxiway.

[@hkr667]

Sometimes they also head on an unvacated runway though

Hearing the tower call a pilot "habibi" is eyebrow raising. Isn't that a term of endearment? For example you don't normally hear tower call pilots darling or love etc. Seems unprofessional?

There are Arabs there are not supposed to be professional

Doesn't it just mean "pal"?

[@saiff541]

@@kaasmeester5903 yes, it can mean buddy or pal.

[@eskinkc]

Different parts of the world commonly use habibi as brotherly love not necessarily romantic. And is perfectly acceptable to use it in respectful conversation
