[REAL ATC] Volaris approaches to the wrong runway at JFK | CLOSE CALL

[@VASAviation]

Volaris made a mistake and both controllers avoided the collision by instructing their airplanes to do what they had to do. Volaris goes around and Republic stays on the Ground. Great job!

[@bob1234486]

See if you can get anything on the British Airways 288 Emergency Landing at PHX on 12/6/2017. There was video of flames coming out of the engine on takeoff.

[@profmet]

He also readback wrongly once more the active runway. It seemed like looking at the charts while copying instructions.

[@drmayeda1930]

He didn't know his flight number either. I hope he was a new pilot

[@rafaelparamo873]

Very smart of the controller to leave the volaris landing before releasing the other - allowed things to cool down (not only brakes I guess)

The Volaris initiate the Go Around before ATC even call it. Good call. When the EDV advice tower about the error, Volaris was already in the Go Around.

[@OfficeLinebacker]

Noticed that they waited until Volaris had switched frequencies. cue NOW THAT THAT GUY'S OUT OF THE WAY

[@uniquelycommon2244]

Nice job switching between compressed time playback and real time playback, depending on whether playing back a part of the event in real time really helps give the viewer a better feel for how things occurred. Like that you make it completely clear with the on-screen graphics when the video switches from one to the other.

[@Aerospace_Education]

Great job by all. Kudos to the pilot as well. Sometimes we all make a mistake. We rely on each other to catch and fix problems. That pilot and maybe the chief pilots will be reviewing that in great detail and I doubt that pilot will make that mistake again. In the end the system worked and safety was maintained.

Kennedy didn't trust this pilot. Pilot knew he messed up too. So I don't consider this hating on him he wanted to make 100% sure the same 2 aircraft didn't have another conflict of interest. Once was more than enough.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

David Michael • That's exactly right. A mistake that could have resulted in multiple fatalities and untold property damage was averted, and ATC instructed and monitored the best way possible in the end. Regarding posts elsewhere about "haters" - the I now believe some people are so victimized by their own shadows that it seems they would rather have a terrible tragedy play out just so no one's feelings were hurt in the discussions afterward.

[@gooner72]

Holy shit, that was close! I'm not sure he even realised what he'd done to be honest, this shows that the other pilot and ATC was alert and doing their job well.

[@AnkushDas]

I totally have a serious problem with saying 'twenty two left' which the pilots kept doing repeatedly. Its 'two two left' and its a standard phraseology so that the numbers don't get mixed up. I have been bashed up in training because of that and have never made that mistake again.

[@debranobles]

Ankush Das a

[@philipmcniel4908]

I think this depends on whether you are in the USA or not. American pilots and controllers are used to saying numbers like "twenty-two" or the callsign "Brickyard forty-two thirty-one," but it doesn't happen much in other countries where there are a variety of accents and/or English is not the first language. If I were the controller, I would've called Volaris "eight-eight-zero" just because that's what he, as a non-American, is used to hearing.

[@wildgurgs3614]

Good reply, Very good!!!👍✈✈

[@kewkabe]

You're better off using google maps with your videos because this "ATC" map is pretty useless. I'm an FAA controller (although not at New York approach), but we don't use airway lines like here or coastlines like here which just clutter the scope and would never be depicted. And why would you depict 31 localizers when they're using other runways here? If this is confusing and useless to an FAA controller it's going to be even more confusing and useless to others.

[@mariohmmtt7]

Volaris is a horrible airline nowadays, disgusting service, really bad timings and now as far as I can see, deconcentrated pilots risking the lives of many others.

[@jimstanley_49]

I hate (ha. ha.) when people assume hate in others so I won't claim that about the ATC here. I do think it _may_ have been a little over-cautious to delay 4231's takeoff clearance with 880 still over 6 miles out. I think it also pushes the bounds of protocol slightly to basically point out 880 like that and hold everything until he's out of the way, so the big kids can play again. It might have been the right choice, but i don't think he needed to go into detail like that.

[@robbiehighfield9586]

Agreed. Admittedly I'm not a pilot or ATC, but at 210mph 6 miles out it would've taken 1minute 43seconds before the Volaris touched down. You'd think 4231 would be well clear of the runway by then, right?

[@RonPiggott]

@@robbiehighfield9586 What about wake turbulence from taking off?

[@rzero21]

Now this is better compared to the previous video were I felt there were many seconds wasted. Not everything has to be in real time. As I said before, time is precious. Save viewers time and you will bring more of them (or to keep them) for sure. Some people started following this type of video because of the engaging communications compared to other videos that don't trim down time and are boring despite covering the same interesting situations.

[@FlyingMaxFr]

Good comment

[@navarxos86]

Have to agree, with the exception of the few seconds, when everybody reacts to the mistake, real time is neither entertaining nor educational. On the other side, that few seconds of quick reaction are educational and a prime example of a job well done.

[@VASAviation]

I always listen to (read) your suggestions and here it is. Always trying to improve the content :D

[@maiku41]

I think this one had a nice balance of time compression where appropriate. The visuals when switching were appreciated! Sometimes time compression leads to a misunderstanding of what's happening, as can be seen in the comments on past videos. It's a judgement call in each situation, IMHO. :)

[@Exentity]

Those passengers on the runway must’ve been so confused “why did we stop dude?”

[@jbooj4596]

Tower repeatedly applied an unnecessary public roasting, the guy made a mistake that was a bit bonehead, but adding “that guy” is in or out of your way is unclassy, he can hear it and he’s trying to refocus. Stay classy, people make mistakes and paperwork are for ones like that, it’s easy to roast pilots as your sitting in a chair, not suggesting atc is easy, just saying cut the guy some slack with the sarcasm. Foreigners find high density u.s airports intimidating enough, especially since controllers talk like they are firing planes off a carrier...

[@stucknmud4323]

J Booj I thought the same and was going to make a similar comment, he was definitely rubbing the pilots nose in it,,,,glad I’m not the only one who noticed,,,,

[@BDFTP69420]

MEX is a busier airport than JFK in terms of aircraft movements...

[@droge192]

....true, but Volaris was on a different frequency by this point - he was now with departures, whereas the ATC saying "that guy" was Tower, talking to the a/c that now had to wait for take-off, in case Volaris made a further alignment error. In short, Volaris didn't hear the "that guy" comment.

[@TheDrivingPete]

As I understood it, with "that guy" they did not mean Volaris, they meant the plane aborting the takeoff with the hot brakes. I saw the comment it as a way to reduce tension, not as a roasting.

[@johnthompson5741]

TheDrivingPete oh he 100% meant the volaris. Way to be optimistic but I can assure you “that guy” is not the brickyard

[@AddyRyan66]

haven't flown the big dogs yet but I can confirm..when fatigue kicks in..it kicks in really hard..its quite a workload plus it being a controlled airport just adds to the pressure. add being to unfamiliar grounds..can be quite dangerous. but they all handled it well

@@thomasdahl3083 Fatigue also deteriorates a person's second language skills pretty quickly. It's temporary but it happens. Saying from experience of someone who speaks three languages.

[@stevenrojas8251]

I dont believe it was a language issue, pilot speaks english. They just got visually confused on the runways, 13L is a little bit hidden in the VOR approach, and the first one you see is 13R

[@FalconzInc]

Seems to me this is the Canarsie VOR for 13L, this is the same incident kennedy steve talked about in another video. It's a difficult, easily confusing approach if you don't pay attention, im guessing.

No, the Canarsie is a visual approach.

[@12345fowler]

How frequent is a VOR approach in JFK ? Given it is an busy international airport it's a bit of a shame that the ILS are not constantly used for precision approach. A VOR approach in busy airspace is questionable, and not leaning toward safety.

[@kukulkanlordofcas4931]

The "Canarsie Approach" is the colloquial name for the JFK VOR or GPS RWY 13L/R approach. It involves tracking a VOR and lead-in lights northeast up the coastline, then a turn, assuming visual contact with the airport, to the right to line up with either runway 13L or 13R, as assigned. It's a bit of an odd one, as it requires tracking perpendicular to the intended runway of landing, and a turn within 3nm of the field, but anything in the name of noise abatement. As you can tell by the name, you can track this either by VHF NAVAID or GPS. Many approaches, back when RNAV GPS came around, followed this scheme of "VOR or GPS". I assume they just say "VOR 13" because it's shorter and the first acronym in the official name of the approach. It's actually rather common to fly this approach, because some people don't like hearing the airplanes overhead.

[@captainjohnh9405]

Not defending this crew, but the VOR 13L/13R is (IMHO) pretty crappy until one has flown it a few times. It is essentially a circle to land which many airlines only do under visual conditions. Take a look at this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZfEfnWFZ9BqiK8. See the rabbits (sequenced strobes) everywhere? Between 5:36 and 6:00, just as "Minimums, minimums" is called, see the approach lights at 1 o'clock? That is 13R. I'd be willing to bet this wasn't the first time a crew lined up for the wrong runway using this approach.

[@jordillach3222]

@ John H _I'd be willing to bet this wasn't the first time a crew lined up for the wrong runway._ It surely wasn't: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIiQdoejj7pjq5o or even worse, they landed on a wrong airport: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXmwmXair8uin5o

[@Dowlphin]

Woah, Volaris got it wrong twice! Also, the demand by APP for them to speak up seemed like it might have been because they were more than a little pissed at them (especially at a busy airport like JFK) and wanted no further miscommunication, and observe how wonderfully clearly Volaris (or anyone) can comm if they put some effort into it. What I find funny/puzzling though is the apparent difference in live vs. recording quality. Sometimes we hear nothing but noise, but they're understood. And also the digital compression seems way too high, or is that straight from the source? (I wouldn't think so if it's still analog technology used.)

[@ShatzMat]

[@Kevinmoran14]

Richard Herbst it’s not consider a dangerous call by FAA so it wasn’t an accident or incident.. weird but true

[@crapper1]

Richard Herbst had it been closer it would be write down this number but being the volaris knew going around was safer than 2 low and slow turns he still had good judgement just might wanna teach him his right from left

[@drmayeda1930]

[@DaveDepilot-KFRG]

It wasn't a CLOSE call. They were never less than 3 miles apart. He wasn't on short final, he was still a few miles out. Most likely one of the Volaris pilot would have noticed a plane lined up on the runway as they got close and would have gone around but that would have been a little too close for comfort. And there would be a report written up.

Jose if you ever hear a "phone number" call its the desk for the FAA ATC officer in charge of the shift to take a report of an accident, terror, or other reportable mishap. Basically if it was not a situation where you saw a plane in an unsafe location and wish to report it but you think the ATC is actually talking to the pilots in question the situation is messed up and you might lose your flight license for the incident.

The audio, and what was happening with it, was excellent. But regardless of you telling us that video was or was not real time didn't mean anything. All we saw was a black screen...... !?!???!

[@victorgigante5374]

Good God man, do you not know your right from your left?

[@jr13227]

Wonder what the reason the pilots gave the passengers for the go around

[@dalfifran7572]

The Volaris pilot made a mistake, ATC rectify the situation and made report if necessary, fine. But really, berating and made smart remark about it on public comm? I count around 5 times that male ATC keep said it, some of it just sound really uncalled and unprofessional. *"Now that guy out of the way..."* *"The previous traffic... is now no longer a factor"* He even keep mention it when Volaris already taxiing, long after the incident happened...

Aerogal 700 v2 I guess..

[@dizzyology7514]

Exactly! This is exactly the same situation that occurred in October 2010 when Aerogal 700 had been cleared to land on 13L and had read back 13L, but started to land on 13R, where a JetBlue flight had been cleared for takeoff. The tower controller for that incident was Steven Abraham ("Kennedy Steve"), and when, in an interview after his retirement, he was asked about emergencies he had handled, that was the one he described. The main difference between that episode and this one is that the Aerogal crew was quite slow on the uptake, whereas in this case the Volaris crew immediately recognized the danger of the situation and wisely initiated a go around on their own. Here is the earlier incident: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZmaoZakg5p6orM

So...was the field low IFR...they weren't using ILS so I assume not...how could he get mixed up on this...a simple glance at a chart to confirm runways would have prevented this.

[@navarxos86]

When you are told 13L and you see both runway lights you go left, you don't need for charts. More like basic understanding of left and right (or maybe write, who knows). JFK doesn't have a central runway or multiple pairs, in order to get confused. And in the end, a pre-flight reading of the charts, is standard even for amateur pilots, assuming the PIC had never been to JFK before.

[@DaveDepilot-KFRG]

Spoken like somebody who has never approached a field with pararrel runways, epecially on a bright and sunny day. Some years back, I almost made the same mistake in ISLIP with 33L and 33R but caught myself as I got closer and was able to easily switch since I was in a Piper, and not an airliner. I was very new at the time, but even now, it's not that easy to distinguish which is left and right when you're on a visual during a sunny day and the sun is shining and there are surrounding buildings. Trust me, it's not like flight SIM, the view is much different than you would expect when you're at 1500 or 1600 and 7-8 miles out. As you get closer, it's easier to distinguish, but at JFK, the taxiways are so wide that it makes it even harder, first figure out which are the runways, and then left and right. Personally, when turning base to final more tha 5 miles out, I often don't see the runway and just try to time it and roll out as close to centerline as I could, and then adjust as needed as I get loser. But I'm not flying an airliner, my approach is 80 knots, not 160, so I have a good 4 minutes to correct.

[@navarxos86]

While i have to agree with the general idea that it not that easy, it is not that hard. First of all there are the standards. In order to get in the captain's seat on an airliner you need to prove your skill. Parallel runways as everywhere and parallel landing are not uncommon either. You can not swing left and right on final. On certain airports there are even sidestepping procedures. Second, on JFK, 13R is next to the sea and it is considerably longer that 13L. As for the base reference, you are correct,you have to time it sometimes. But, there are two differences. First it is the matter of the weather. METARs show acceptable weather, with good visibility. Second, he was executing Instrument approach.

@Barry A. Thanks?

[@amelliamendel2227]

Am I hearing this right during the final they switched pilots if not flight crew?

[@karlosbricks2413]

they seemed to swap PF and PNF yes

[@amelliamendel2227]

@@karlosbricks2413 I thought so
