Pilot starts takeoff roll without clearance, gets yelled at (ATC audio) | Happy Landings

"Jet 882" jumps the gun and gets in trouble. In this mostly audio-only clip, a Beech King Air 350i pilot gets stopped partway down the runway as he tries to take off without clearance. Incident recorded at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022.
NOTE: The automated camera system was focusing on other aircraft for most of this clip. The big plane you see taking off is not the (much smaller) one that made the mistake. The video pauses to point out the offending plane when it is on screen.

I received the infamous "number to call" 30 years ago. It was a series of coincidences and misreads of radio frequencies and converting to zulu time and an out of service navigational aid that resulted in me believing the airport tower was closed. When they gave me light gun signals, believing my radio was inoperative, I had a serious sinking feeling. They requested my presence in the control tower after I taxied in and a ramp attendant told me I am in trouble and need to call them on the red phone. Man, they grilled me heavily. I was scared stiff. Good folks. Let me off after using it as a teachable moment. I was up there in the hot seat for an hour and a half! Was a private pilot working toward my instrument rating and commercial certificate and they didn't want to see my career ended.

[@michaelb.8953]

Something similar happened to me 27 years ago when I was a student pilot going for my private on one of my solo cross countries. I was to land at a class D airport and on the sectional chart it was one of the Class D that you are required to contact approach control as I didn't see any indication that it had a ARSA or Class C so I dialed in the tower frequency and contacted the tower in what I thought was far enough away without busting the Class D airspace, well it wasn't as I entered the Class D by about a half mile before I established my communications when I should have first contacted approach control. Upon landing I didn't know I was in big trouble until I taxied off the active and was told to copy a phone number and at that point I was sweating bullets. When I talked to guy in the control tower he ripped me a new one up one side down the other and one of the things he yelled at me about was not identifying myself as a student pilot on the radio. Now upon getting my log book signed and on my way out of there I was pretty flustered at this point and I busted an active runway without clearance. Now I'm getting yelled at again over the radio and they just wanted to get me out of there ASAP. It was the worst flight of my life and just a really bad day. I was so relieved to finally land back at my home airport I was expecting the Class D airport to contact my flight instructor and rip him a new one, but they never did. I told him what happened as he didn't have too much to say about it. Just one of those days that one should have stayed home, but one good thing out of that is you learn real fast.

[@bunkbed16]

@@michaelb.8953 Im currently a student pilot and im about to get my private pilot license in about a month. On my second solo cross country I was coming back to my home airport (class c) and was talking to approach. Approach told me to make a right base for runway 21 so I did, once they told me to contact tower I forgot to swap over to my second radio since I was using radio 1 and instead I just swapped to the ground frequency and tried to contact tower. Ground told me I was on the wrong frequency so my not so bright self still didn't realize I was using the wrong radio and then I called approach thinking it was tower and and they were busy so they didn't respond to my call, so instinctively I just called again. Approach then told me I was on the wrong frequency so finally I figure it out and swap to tower and call them up and all was good. I'm so happy they never gave me a phone number to call or chewed my ass out. Never have I ever been so happy to announce student pilot over the radio lmao.

[@paulvanobberghen]

This was a time when aeronautical phraseology was still confusing. The Pan Am, back tracking the active runway where KLM was already lined up in the opposite direction, waiting for take off clearance, was told « report runway cleared », the communication was somehow garbled an the KLM captain believed this was for him being cleared for take off. The 2d officer asked « are you sure we are clear for take off? » the senior Captain said yes and pushed the throttle while Pan Am was still on the runway but not visible because of heavy mist. Because of this disaster, the phraseology has since been changed into « report runway vacated » so that no confusion remains. In this present case, visibility was 100% and no airplane was on the runway. Still not great!

[@averysba]

The correct control instruction should've been "STOP STOP STOP". The controllers comment "...you were not cleared for take off..." if clipped or over transmitted could easily have sounded like .... "cleared for take off...." making the problem worse.

[@whiskeyd7]

@flanker12 As for using radios at uncontrolled airports, including those when the tower is closed, the FAA considers it “good operating practice”, to use a radio. I know there have been incidents that have occurred because of this. I agree with you they should be used.

[@whiskeyd7]

@flanker12 You have a few points there. Even private pilots still have to maintain a FAA Class 3, flight physical. Aircraft must have an Annual maintenance check, and engine overhauls after x number of hours. Pilots are all required to have flight review every 2 years. Still not up to the standards of airline pilots or those with advanced ratings. Not paying attention, does occur. But in fairness considering the number of private aircraft flying, the safety record is pretty good.

In my extremely limited experience (listening to ATC as a hobby) I’ve never heard a controller say “line up and wait (for traffic)” it’s always just “line up and wait” So did he just think he could wait for traffic?? And clear himself for takeoff? Surely he didn’t. Even I know you don’t start takeoff roll until you specifically hear “cleared for takeoff” Not putting atc at fault by any stretch. Just thought it was weird she said “wait for traffic” All considered I’m betting he just forgot about the “line up and wait” instructions.

1:41 ATC Mad

[@davidcavanagh8687]

Which plane was it that took of without permission, as I see it it was the American B737

[@kletrain7079]

Jet 882, the little citation or whatever that thing is.

Wouldnt this be reported as Pilot Deviation? ATC doesnt mention anything?

[@sarahdeaver4981]

The pilot repeated line up and AWAY... and she said line up and WAIT... but no one caught him repeating AWAY cause that sounded so similar... but if he wouldn't have been so tired he would have been like wait they are supposed to say CLEARED FOR TAKE OFF

[@cot5thorchid551]

It's "Line up and wait runway xx" , not, "Line up and wait for traffic' which could be interpreted as after traffic has passed you're cleared to go. ATC blunder.
