Near-disaster at Pearson Airport

[@wizbangFLL]

Air Canada has a lot to answer to over the past year. There are at least 8 instances that I can recall off hand where their pilots are instructed for one or another reason to "go around" and they ignore the instruction and land anyway, often in very insecure circumstances, and loss separation from the AC plane and the other vehicle. 3 in SFO...

if the maintenance guy forgets to put the handbrake on his van, i sure hope he wasn't the guy fixing planes....

[@KevinSun242]

Tire chocks are supposed to be one of the first safety steps for any kind of maintenance...

[@icemachine79]

@Milaad Rohi There's also the fact that the van rolled onto the threshold of the runway and therefore was never really in any danger of being struck by a landing plane.

[@icemachine79]

@Milaad Rohi Yeah, that's the point I was making lol. The plane was never in danger of coming anywhere near the van, nevermind landing on top of it.

[@icemachine79]

@Milaad Rohi I agree. They knew it was safe and going around at that point would've been a waste of time and money. They may still receive a warning for technically violating the rules. But I don't think they need to be sanctioned or fired since it was never actually dangerous.

[@icemachine79]

@Milaad Rohi No worries! I appreciate it.

[@Vpmatt]

As soon as I heard Air Canada I assumed the van was in the right and the aircraft was not cleared to land, was at the wrong airport, and the pilots were asleep.

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Seen them a lot closer than 50' at St. Maarten

[@tjfSIM]

+Michael Clark Yes but those clearances are normal and expected by pilots and traffic at St Maarten - not at Pearson.

[@torontoaviation2295]

[@Jusiun]

Dont worry the captain watned to do a steep approach

[@moleman1961]

Sounds like they are milking the investigation expenses budget! The driver forgot the handbrake and the pilot knew he could make the landing easy! What’s to investigate?

[@simonpeters2128]

1:37 They have been instructed only twice to go around ? Some Air Canada pilots ignore it even 6 times.

How many people mentioned "@St. Maarten they come lower"? Like the problem was the elevation?! @ St.Maarten people are on the other side of the fence that keeps them away from the runaway. How many times have you seen maintenance vans rolling with no driver on St.Maarten's runway?!

[@FSAUDIOGUY]

Like at SFO...instructed 6 times to go around....never answered the tower and landed anyway. Pilot training changes needed!!

[@dominiquestephenson1541]

What is with Air Canada crews disregarding ATC instructions? Is it a company directive to disregard go around orders to save fuel.?

[@NickReyzin]

At 0:47 that's an Embraer 170. Seriously. Cmon that's so easy the e190 is long.

[@TrixtaTV]

And she said 24R instead of 2-4R

[@AviationNut]

+TrixtaTV Actually she should of said "RUNWAY 2-4 RIGHT". Because the R stands for RIGHT. The ATC or pilots would never say runway 2-4R they have to say runway 2-4 RIGHT. They usually do that when there is two runways next to eachother on the same heading, one is called LEFT and the other RIGHT. There is airports that have three runways next to eachother on same heading so the runway in the middle would be for example 24C which is called 2-4 CENTER and the others 2-4 LEFT and 2-4 RIGHT.

[@CharlieND]

No. The Embraer 170s say EXPRESS on them. THe 190s don't. Get your facts right before spewing bullshit.

[@NickReyzin]

Ziggmaster it's a 170 I swear that it is. E190s say express too by the way.

[@garyvale8347]

would like to the ATC / pilot recording, but if the van was at the threshold and plane was still 50'above ....seems more uneventful than a near disaster...... must have been a slow news night.....

[@teresamartins4832]

Probably the pilot saw the van and deemed the landing was still doable without issues, so he just turned a deaf ear for a few seconds, time to go over the van and finish his landing. He didn't want to deal with a go back

[@kofirey6752]

A safety incursion is if both are touching on the active rwy at the same time. If the van had cleared before the AC touchdown then the Aircraft had done nothing wrong. The focus should be on the ground vehicle crossing before being cleared to xrs. The Van By saying brake failure!

[@remichal]

Seems Air Canada has issues obeying tower instructions. Case in point.... two very similar instances in San Francisco in 2017 and 2018. One where the plane tried to land on a taxiway in spite of being told multiple times to go around.

[@vtpanda]

Were they told to go around during the taxiway instance? My recollection was that the chatter on frequency was, at best, unclear. Obviously, I'm not downplaying the severity of the situation.

[@sandertel]

50 ft a near miss? Next time you are on the freeway look around and try to asses if the "pilot" in the lane next to you is likely to need 50ft of clearance for you to be safe...

its not a near miss. its a near hit..they almost hit, not almost miss

[@MyFavoriteDisease]

The term seems a little stupid indeed if you read "near" as "nearly". It's correct nonetheless. It's an English idiom that originated in artillery, where a miss that was still *near* the target was called a "near miss", as opposed to a miss very far off target.

[@bigstickpilot]

Near means close. Nearly means almost.

[@Ukraine2011]

Good one. It is time to get rid of that near miss quote. If you nearly miss something doesn't that mean you actually hit it?

[@mrabiganesh]

How did the Tower know that a van was going to roll across the runway ? unless they were psychic how could they have warned the aircraft to go around twice ? Unless and until , 5 seconds before touchdown the tower says "go around, go around " and consider that as asking to go around twice..

am i the only person to realize that the reporter first indicated that it was a driverless van @00;33 that went on the runway and then states @00:54 that a maintenance worker was driving the van. she's got her head up her ass, didn't even pronounce the runways name correctly. And people buy into mass media. This story seems out of place with no true indication of the event. either there was a person in the van or not!!

[@signalpirate]

Here let me explain it to you in plain English. Worker drives van to gate H16. gets out of van. Does maintenance work on sunwing plane. During that time van starts to roll and goes across the runway. Replay the video a couple times.. I'm sure you'll get it.... eventually

[@RobertWilson-dd9xm]

Wow a lot of comments, and misrepresented facts. The incursion did occur but not as it was reported here. As i recall > the truck crossed the runway at/by Q taxiway, behind and under the landing aircraft. pilots had no view of the truck. With 5 active runways and normal busy traffic, pilots concluded the pulled up was for another aircraft. The controllers were not precise in the direct as to whom to abort landing. Also distance, and angle of view of controllers is something to take into consideration. The Mechanic, left his truck as he pulled up on the apron beside a Sunwing aircraft, which called in a mechanical issued just before its departure. In his haste, he left the truck in reverse, Not park, with the engine running. the truck backed uncommanded, clipped an engine cowling and proceeded across the apron, taxiway, crossed the runway and into a ditch. a serious situation. fortunately little damage done and no one got hurt. He lost his job.
