The controller gave Norse Atlantic permission to exit at the second taxiway, Taxiway Uniform 3, so I'm not sure why he suddenly became upset when that's precisely what happened. Kudos to the pilots for remaining calm and not returning fire, so to speak. The controller was rude.
@StratMatt7777 ай бұрын
The airplane cannot safely or legally turn off the runway until it has decelerated to a safe taxi speed. So the controller is not very smart to require such a thing, unless he can magically alter how physics act upon the decelerating airplane. In short, he is ruled by his ego instead of by logic and safety.

Apparently JFK controllers commonly get upset and it is unacceptable for ATC to demand an aircraft takes a certain exit or criticise their second choice. Probably Silk 747 was marginally too close in their following distance which was probably arranged by previous ATC controller so Tower under pressure to get him landed. Tower controller should have simply issued the go around (happens more often than you might think) and if anything admonish his colleague (off air) for the minimal spacing, not the landing 787. Apologising to SilkAir while admonishing the Norse Atlantic is petulant, unnecessary and occupies precious airtime that could cause other communications problems. I hope his supervisor provided some coaching to him but as we hear this many times at JFK it seems to be a widespread attitude adjustment problem they are yet to solve.

The problem at many airports is excess traffic during peak time periods meaning every landing slot is allocated to incoming traffic. This puts the controllers in a position of having to disrupt the entire air traffic flow with a go-around or try to sequence the planes into the airport as fast as possible. The controller should have reduced the second plane's speed slightly when they were being sequenced to allow the first plane time to exit the runway. However, the controller's response to the captain of a plane given the runway is unacceptable and the captain should have filed a complaint.

No other rate charges would affect airline operations. Most gate charges, ground fees, etc. are done on the amount of time the area is in use, not a per-square-foot fixed lease charge. Generally, the fixed charges are for office space. Ticketing area charges may be a fixed square foot cost or can be done on a usage basis if the airport has a common-use terminal equipment (CUTE) system.

Guidance for the correct exit lies in the charts for the airport with which the pilots plan their landing, rollout and taxi. ATC can’t request you to exit at a certain point because they don’t have a clue about your aircraft performance. Exiting via a 90° turn requires speeds less than 10kts as opposed to 50-60kts for high speed exits.

One time when as a mechanic I was taxiing an A320 and a coyote got in front of us and sat down. We had already been cleared to cross a runway but I applied the brakes and slowed so as not to ingest the coyote and the animal got up and walked off the taxiway almost immediately. So I let the tower know that we were delayed by an animal on the taxiway and he says to continue and cross the runway. Well my partner and I looked down the runway and there is a 727 touching down on the runway. We hadn't slowed down because the controller said to go. Just as we finished crossing the runway and made the turn that 727 roared past us on the runway. I swore to my self (like Scarlet O'Hara) "As God is my witness I will never let myself be rushed while taxiing ever again."

From the transcript here, I would actually say that this would be a good "use case" in the education of ATC´s, assuming that no NOTAMs regarding the usage of runway exits had been issued to arriving aircraft and not mentioned here! Pilots are very aware of the traffic situation at JFK and know very well that there is an aircraft in front of them and directly behind them. This is of course also a factor taken into consideration when planning the arrival, along with projected breaking distance (wet/slippery/dry surface) and aircraft brakes used (auto brake/reverse thrust levels). This was probably clear to the pilots in due time before landing the aircraft and I am guessing that U3 was target exit for the pic. From a pilots point of view - there is really no issue here....and this 787 did absolutely nothing "wrong". In any case....31R belongs to the 787 from the time the CTL is given until the aircraft has fully cleared the runway. Should be a basic ATC 1.01. But then again...assuming ATC is the "ref" and the pilots "the players"...we all know that refs have bad days on the pitch once in a while....

The pilot didn't need to get into explaining without being prompted. He was given the option of V or U3 so just take the option and do it. And if unable to comply with an instruction from ATC just say, "Unable." But the pilot didn't do anything wrong. Tower didn't need to add the extra dialogue himself either. A simple "expedite" will do and maybe a phone call to Approach not to sequence two heavies so close together. Tower was basically trying to taxi the plane himself and giving a hard time to a pilot who was not at fault for the sequencing or their speed safely taxiing off the runway.

Looking at the radar track and data it seems the pilots tried to slow down for V as it’s a partial high speed exit but when given the option they decided to continue to the next one rather than slam on the brakes causing extra heat and discomfort for passengers. Except they were already nearly at exit speed so they would have had to suddenly increase thrust to accelerate again (would take time due to heavy weight then you’d have to brake harder again) or let it roll at about 40 knots

@@tomstravels520 I meant is there a rated exit speed, like IIRC 60 kt for a high-speed exit. BTW a big problem with the concept of increasing landing rate by having aircraft exit at a higher speed is how that rate would come and go with the runway condition: A dry runway would allow a certain cadence, but any contamination reduces the number (nose tire skid limit) and there's sometimes no way to tell in advance as the arrivals are stacked whether that will change. Not much of a factor in the sunny Southwest USA, but the Northeast Corridor etc tends to be unpredictable.

I feel like the tension was totally unnecessary. The controller had them positioned right at minimal separation, hence questioning the trailing 747 about the flight conditions. I'd rather have a pilot take longer to vacate the runway than make an unsafe maneuver to satisfy a pushy controller....and the controller even gave him the option of U3, which he took. Sure, go arounds for traffic are frustrating at an airport like JFK, but the controller is as much to blame as the 787 pilot in this instance. Sh*t happens, but ATC's attitude about it was the only thing creating any drama.
