RUNWAY INCURSION. Japanese Pilots Enters Runway Without Permission. Real ATC Audio

[@samuelfrancis9143]

I have to respect the fact he gave no resistance or excuse to the controller. Very often in these recordings of runway incursions pilots argued with the controller over what was said, etc. but there was none of that in this situation, admittedly there was a language barrier though that made any communication difficult.

[@Kalikus808]

I'm willing to bet that no physical separation between Alpha and Bravo taxiways (meaning they are the same, paved, surface, only delineated by markings and perhaps flush-mount lighting) led to the belief that Runway 9 was actually taxiway Bravo. Granted, the runway is usually very clearly marked, especially at airports where there are flashing lights, and this is not a very good excuse. I'm just speculating on what may have occured.

[@goonzmx]

Alpha and bravo have a noticeable depression with MULTIPLE markings

[@goonzmx]

The bravo taxiway also has a marking at every intersection including bravo 10

[@vaffangool9196]

There is no Taxiway Alpha on the charts, just Bravo and Charlie. There used to be a Runway 13/31 so maybe Alpha used to run alongside.

I think the way ATC spoke was confusing even to Americans. Why couldn't they say go to taxiway B, and stop at B9? What was back taxi?

[@RamirezMannie]

He meant Japan Air can expect back taxi. So ATC was going to have them enter the runway 9 at B9, and taxi backwards all the way to beginning of runway 9

😢DVS, I wish you well and hope that you find your daughter soon! 🙏

Good job ignoring the controllers attempt to get the pilot to admit errors on the radio.

[@spinynorman887]

From what I am hearing on these videos, if you're thinking about flying in the USA, and English is your second (third, fourth, etc.) language, you should probably contact a career counselor first.

I am the last person to worry about political correctness, but it did seem odd to read the title. It really should read Japan Air Pilots Enter Runway Without Permission. Traditionally all these stories link the pilots by their carrier, and not their ethnicity. Japanese Pilots Enters Runway sounds really weird...

[@SpaceDad42]

Go to your safe space. No one will hurt you there.

[@spinynorman887]

It only sounds weird if you're looking for reasons to complain. If the pilots were NOT Japanese, then your argument MIGHT have validity. Because there is NOTHING weird about calling a Japanese person Japanese. It's what they are.

[@1977ajax]

Calling a Japanese pilot 'Japanese' is not incorrect by any standard, let alone the self-contradictory and neurotic standards of so-called political correctness.

[@kerryrobinson3782]

@@1977ajax the 14 people who clicked "like" get it. There is a reason we don't read headlines like "Dutch pilots in large aircraft cause world's worst aviation accident," as opposed to "KLM 747 pilots collide with PanAm 747..." Or Australian pilot overshoots runway..." rather than "Qantas pilot overshoots...". Or, "German pilot" vrs "Lufthansa pilot..." Headline space is limited, and people interested in aviation related stories about incidents or accidents want relevant info in the headline. Things like (1) what happened, (2) what carrier(s) were involved and (3) what aircraft type(s) were involved. If you find yourself watching more of these types of KZbins, you will notice how the headlines focus on key info and stay away from wasting space with irrelevant information. Telling me the pilot is Japanese.....?? Well he/she could be flying for Ryukyu Air Commuter or another of many regional carriers in Japan, not to mention Air Japan or All Nippon. Ethnicity told me nothing relevant. Saying" Japan Air Pilot" tells me one of the world's largest carriers was involved.

I'm sorry sir = I f'ed up/ Very polite... both sides.

I just waited for this conversation throughout the video but didn't find it...😡

[@VUclear]

The San Diego ATC needs to slow down his speech to English as Second Language pilots, especially from non-Indo-European languages. Not long and drawn out, but a little slower with careful enunciation. Their attention ought to be good enough to accomplish that.

[@SpaceDad42]

English proficiency is REQUIRED for operations in US airspace and any ICAO airspace for that matter.

[@spinynorman887]

No he doesn't. To be FAA certified to fly as a commercial pilot, you have to be fluent in English. If you aren't, don't fly here.

[@gerrylazlo]

Yeah, except he read back the instructions correctly. He just didn't follow them.

[@VUclear]
