CRDA (Converging Runway Display Aid). Real radar tool used by controllers that I have developed for our software for future similar incidents. CRDA is a very useful tool to safely and effectively merge approaching traffic onto converging runways. CRDA creates a ghost target (yellow asterisk) which represents a simulated airplane that would land on a runway (35 in this case) respecting the minimum separation with traffic approaching the other runway (27R in this case). If the real traffic is far ahead or behind the ghost target, the separation at the time both airplanes reach the runway may be lost with the resulting conflict alert. Should a conflict occur, the traffic approaching the slave runway (35) would be the one conducting the missed approach, and not the one approaching the leader runway (27R). That's the explanation why Tower was giving PDT5901 s-turns, so that they would lose some time in order for the ghost target to get closer, thus gaining some separation behind FFT1384. Be advised this radar scope is a simulation developed by VASAviation and NOT THE REAL RADAR SCREEN. Some of the information displayed (altitude, speed or position) may not be exact though it has been created using ADS-B data.

Nice. Something similar exists in shipping. VTS (ATC for ships) uses this to have a ship wait to cross a main shipping channel (leader runway) when theres traffic or to expedite if there is space/time. Data like position speed and heading comes from the AIS systems.

I appreciate ATC trying to make it work, but an early go-around decision or instruction would have helped the situation immensely. Piedmont tried hard to comply, but at some point, someone has to say enough is enough. Also, if Frontier had used their full callsign and spoken slowly and clearly when announcing their go-around, tower might not have responded by sending Piedmont around. Tower may have thought that was Piedmont announcing a go-around.

I thought that too, but on review I can't find when. Part of the controller's job is to make it work, if possible. At 2:25, "the speed and spacing's good." He's clearly reading that off his tools, not guessing. So his best information indicated that it would work. There would be no good justification for calling for a go-around at that time. And it's only a few seconds later that he warns 5901 about the possible go-around. He's on the ball, and he has a workable and clearly communicated backup plan, right? And it's still actually safe when he calls for the go-around. But 1384 did something unexpected... so in hindsight, it probably would have been best to confirm with 1384 that they understood the plan as well. But that doesn't seem to be common procedure.

This is SOP here in PHL. They run it tight and often the spacing doesn’t work. One thing you can do as a pilot, is look at your TCAS and find the crossing traffic’s altitude. If you’re within 300ft of their altitude (assuming both aircraft are on a 3° glidepath), someone is going around. Adjust your speed until there is a difference of at least 300ft and you’re safe.

Spacing wasn’t good, tower called for Delta to go around, they didn’t respond. After two more attempts to get Delta to respond, I was then instructed to go around. At this time Delta finally responded and went around too. Next thing I see is a Delta MD90 coming at me, I leveled my plane at 400 ft and overflew the terminal. After it was all over, ATC thanked me for paying attention.

As a retired controller with 30 years experience I. Chicago I can safely say this is insanely stupid. From the moment I saw the controllers intentions I knew it would not work. Hitting the gap on take offs and landings are one thing, but there is nothing I would consider safe about this. The controller left himself with no outs. Add to that the fact he was working combined positions this was a clear recipe for disaster. If this procedure is SOP for them then a midair is inevitable

One thing that isn’t discussed enough is how atc is scheduled. They move through the entire 24 hour cycle, so each shift is earlier than the last and sometimes there are two shifts a day. The human body just doesn’t deal well with that kind of schedule. While I understand the argument that they need to be up to speed on all times of day, making people go from day to night and back over the course of a week again plays merry hell with their circadian rhythm.

According to the ATSB data they were within 75 feet in altitude when Piedmont was just beyond the end of the runway. At that point the 2 planes were around 1700 feet (in distance) from each other. It was around then that Piedmont started to go around and increased altitude, with a slight right. But it seems Piedmont almost flew right over Frontier probably within 100 feet in altitude. Importing the KML data into Google Earth makes this look insane. Controller should have called the go around for Piedmont much sooner.

ATC can't always get what they want. The pilot in command is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the flight, and they also have aircraft and company procedures which may take priority over ATC instructions. In this case, ATC can't order Frontier to land if the PIC's judgement is that they need to go-around. In another scenario, ATC may not be able to get an aircraft to turn if they're executing the windshear escape procedure rather than a normal go-around. ATC can get themselves into a situation where they think they can vector their way out of it if it doesn't work, but sometimes they'll get an "unable" in response to their deconfliction instructions. Or somebody could be transmitting on the frequency when ATC wants to give an urgent instruction.

The controller told Frontier after the fact that he wanted Jet Blue to go around. Maybe calling Jet Blue's go around earlier would have helped, or maybe letting both aircraft know his intentions earlier would have been safer. He knew what he wanted, but the pilots didn't.

People are assuming this type of thing is happening more often, not sure that is true. What is true is we have the data available to track, the ATC recordings and people like @VASAviation who take the time to put together these attractive videos which illustrate what is happening. Large airports have been using crosswind runways for a very very long time. New airports generally are being built with parallel runways. Seems safety is part of the reason, but the driver is getting the planes in and out quicker is easier with the parallel runways and planes can handle the crosswinds better than they use to. 10 years ago the only people that would have known about this event were the controllers involved, the pilots on the frequency and maybe the passengers.

Do controllers face disciplinary action for opting to create more spacing between arrivals? Are there fines involved from making aircraft late? Do air carriers complain about that, and does it carry weight against the controller? Is it just a function of how over saturated the system is that trying to create more space just clogs everything up worse?

The airport has an arrival rate - determined first theoretically and then operationally - based on both the configuration and the weather. You have to be able to keep operating near that rate. If the final controller can't or won't do that, they'll back up the feeder, and then the center. Initially, nothing would happen except maybe a conversation with the operations supervisor. If you kept it up, it would result in some retraining or possibly decertification eventually. The job of controllers at least at busy airports has always been to push as much metal as possible, and that fact means that they can't all be winners. Final sent PDT to tower out of position, and then tower tried really hard to save it. Personally I think he probably should have given up a mile or so earlier but I don't work at Philly. Either way, the reason is obvious: Every approach that ends in a go around is another three to five miles you're eating up on final, and it's another 90 seconds of spacing you'll never get back. Bottom line: The pressure is always, always on to run them tight, both as a matter of not screwing over the controller feeding you, and as an official matter of performance.

The existence of the situation is 100% on people other than the pilots (primarily ATC but unquestionably those runways were being sweated to their limits).

A nudge to ATC that they weren't comfortable prior to the go-around would likely have resulted in the other plane being sent around.

Approaches need to be stabilized from both the pilot's perspective and the controller's too. If the controller can't be confident that the plan is going to work and that there's space for either aircraft to go around, then things are too tight and need to be changed. The moment the controller said, "If this doesn't work..." Spirit should have said, "We're going around, request vectors for 27R." That everyone survived this was pure luck, and that's not how any of this is supposed to work.

I am a Philly based pilot and the amount of times this has happened to me or in front of me is a high amount. Philly controllers like to keep it tight.

23-year Class B tower snd approach controller here - They do this operatiom all day everyday and one got away from him a little. You can tell relative motion (not a collision course) from looking out of the window in the tower, and that information is not available.in this video, nor is the controller's experience from doing this operation successfully probably thousands of times. Trust me, it ALWAYS looks worse on radar than in person, He may have pushed an unworkable situation a bit or maybe not, but that's the stuff we deal with all day. Of course the comments are full of sensationalism and know-it-alls. Give us a big raise, more than one day off per week, keep.paying your taxes, and in no way do my opinions reflect the opinions of the FAA.

Say what you will about the tower controller but these are 2 IFR arrivals inbound to intersecting runways. The approach control should have these guys separated not handing tower a DAT.

Philadelphia Tower, possible ATC deviation. Contact FAA for retraining.

Used to be based in PHL and landed 35 many times. I've had to go around 2x in Philly because of the spacing for 27R/35. The Frontier guy was probably unaware that the 27R arrivals have priority and 35 has to go around if spacing isn't good. From my experience there, if they ever asked for S turns, it usually meant it was never going to work. Also Approach has a terrible tendency there to make us go from 250 to 170 right away...which takes a decent amount of distance especially when descending.

"I wanted you to land and the other guy was gonna go around" Not how it works!

Frontier going around definitelly ruined his plan, thats why it would have been nice to communicate that plan before.

The controller did communicate his future intentions, but did not include the Frontier crew in the transmission. Crews landing have enough to deal with. Being glued to the radio and trying to piece together the (horrific, deteriorating) situation is not one of them. The controller should have stated his intention to BOTH aircraft, with a readback. VERY POOR FORM.

Traffic overload is really getting out of hand. It's only a matter of time until we get the big one that KZbin videos in ten years will claim "changed aviation forever"

Jeez… ground, tower, intersecting landing, this amount of traffic… time for a second Controller- or a holding… Apart from all this: is this „make s turns“ on short final a normal thing?? Never heard it anywhere and never saw it in Europe…
