Legend has it that the controller never did receive that call despite the pilot insisting that he did call and had a long and productive discussion to clear the air with the controller.
Congrats to that tower controller. Really great demeanor, and the professionalism was excellent. Even though they knew the information from the pilot wasn't accurate, they didn't even suggest an argument on frequency-- just took it over to the phone to talk it through. Perfect.
The perfect crime, No way to punish you. Except for the giant numbers painted on your aircraft and the transponder blabbing who you are to everyone, and the radar recording.
Was on a parallel approach in to MIA many years ago. Same tower frequency on both runways. We had just been cleared to land on the south rwy, but tower had tried to reach a Delta 757 that was exactly even with us on the north rwy. At about 500ft the Delta guy finally answered: “Ok, cleared to land! Sorry about that. I dropped my sandwich” Tower: “YOU DROPPED YOUR SANDWICH???” Delta: “Yeah, I have pickles all over the floor” Everyone just cracked up:-).
"Was there an issue" Depends on if you think it's OK to get landing clearance from the voices in your head or not. I remember this one, still baffles me that he decided to land despite never getting a positive clearance to do so.
He confused clearance for the approach with being cleared to land. It happens. I am sure he actually realized it when he landed and requested taxi clearance and realized that we was still on approach/center freq.
@@simon199418approach told him to switch to tower and he responded with switching to tower. So I doubt he thought he was at an uncontrolled airport especially with requesting for taxi clearance as well.
Professional pilot of 25 years here…I find Jetspeed 529’s initial contact to be so irritating. Excuse making, “we were talking the whole time,” and the whole “Who, me? Impossible!” attitude is an a CRM hazardous attitude of “invincibility.” Pilots like this can NEVER own up to an error. Dangerous for everyone.
Saying something like that has to make it worse. I can imagine the tower requiring an investigation, reviewing logs and tapes, interviewing him, checking his radio, etc. in the stupid case that he was on a different frequency, someone what spoofing him, etc., etc. How long was he planning on playing dumb for?
Isn't it funny, but it seems like everytime I watch one of these that the pilot can hear the tower the second the wheels hit the runway and not a second before?
Except "approach/departure" tried to contact them unsuccessfully also. This still remains bizarre to me. WHO cleared this bozo to land? "talking the whole time" means the voices in his head must have given him clearance.
@@kalamageo funny enough they apparently found the frequency or had their radio working again on the ground. Either way they should abort the landing without clearance and clearly no radio contact to anyone.
Tower didn't give them a Brasher Warning ("possible pilot deviation") so he's going to be cool about it. But even if the pilot was "talking to him the whole time", he never heard "Cleared to land". At a busier airport this wouldn't have been resolved so casually.
It happens all the time. Less than ideal, yes. But not really that big a deal. App control built an approach window for the jet, then the tower was protecting that airspace. The plane landed without incident.
When I was in flight school we learned about a dude who got in huge trouble for using his handheld av radio to give planes clearance to land. Maybe in this case his copilot or a passenger cleared him to land? lol
We had a fellow in Australia causing havoc with a hand held at one of our major airports a few years ago. How it didn't end in disaster, who knows. Somehow, he was arrested and brought before the courts for his actions.
Maybe the copilot or pilot was like "are we cleared to land" and somehow one guy just understood "cleared to land". there was like this chinese airline with a funny video where ground keeps asking "Are you cleared into the ramp?" and they are like "roger cleared into the ramp"
Professional controller, a welcome relief for a pilot in a deviation, but I have no clue why he'd even think "we were talking the whole way down" when he one hundred percent was not hearing them, otherwise he would have done an Ident and Tower would have seen that there was positive reception, but no transmission on the radio. so weird.
@@jasonraces5211 obviously the pilot did it, what’s your explanation? Distraction in cockpit, poor hearing, not in headset in speaker, whatever….pilot skill with aircraft, language skill,
Do you have the ATC from the “food poisoning incident” flight went from Detroit to Netherlands but had to emergency to JFK after crew reported many with food poisoning from spoiled food.
It sure would have been interesting had the investigators pulled the flight voice recorder to listen into what really happened.it sounds like no investigation, just a slap on pilot's pinky finger.
Im not ATC nut But Is there no rule for Having to first get some sign of contact with a airport before Any attempt of landing is done This whole idea of "Clear to land" without it dont you have to do a circle pattern or go to another airport?
Whoever you were talking to the whole time- did they tell you that you were cleared to land runway 11 at Bozeman? If so, that’s a really weird coincidence.
That actually happened in Buenos Aires. (I can't remember when) A man with a radio was clearing planes for landing and takeoff with his handheld. He was finally caught and arrested.
At the airline that I fly for, we only turn on the taxi light when we are cleared to land. As such, I am in the habit of looking up at that at 500 feet to see if the pilot monitoring has turned it on. If not I query and/or go around. While Jetspeed was completely in the wrong....The tower controller could have cleared them to land over the radio and then asked them to call when they were on the ground for the obligatory ass-reaming. We're supposed to work as a team here, and that certainly includes calling the next frequency when told to do so!
Thanks very much for getting us and the cargo safely to the destination. In obvious deference to your experiece and skillset, I still fail to see why clearance to land should be granted to an incoming pilot who is unwilling or unable to exercise his mandated requirement to follow established procedure. Especially with his clearly inacurate comment that, we were talking the whole time. Kinda like the Rules of the Road, wouldn't you say? Granted there's some confusion ..... say, Right on Red or Left on Red, proceeding onto a One Way. By design though, everyone knows what to expect from the other driver......... for the most part. Cheers and thanks again. 🙏👍
I do the same thing and when I’m PM I call either 3 green and cleared to land or 3 green and not yet cleared to land. Same calls at 500’. No excuse for landing without clearance.
@@lbowsk I don't agree with that. I'm not sure why they didn't contact the tower, but if you don't have clearance don't land! A go-around is going to cost you some fuel but if they cannot contact you they will simply give light signals.
@@Flies2FLL Yes. You said that in your first post. I'm just giving you MY opinion, and that of several of the Line Check Airman that I asked at my airline, and that of several controllers who I have spoken with over my career. This including a FPL controller at IAD turned Airline pilot. I am now retired and flying Bizjets PT. At LGA or EWR (or any other big airport with one or more others in close proximity) if you go around you create a hell of a lot more mess for ATC and your fellow pilots than you would had you just landed. ATC builds and protects a lost you a slot for you for landing. Use it. You might be the one whose NORDO, and now if you go around you're really going to dork things up. Ask controllers. Ask your LCA's. I did this early in my career at KDCA. I Promptly called the tower to offer my mea culpa after I landed. This was an airport that had 3 intersecting runways. "It's no big deal. We knew you were coming. It happens. Please be more careful in the future". That was in 1986 and I did.
Blows my mind as a non-american controller that you can a) Clear anything to land with something else on the runway and b) Clear anything to land with a non-radio aircraft on the runway.... how is this safe?
If you were talking the whole time but not getting any responses wouldn't you maybe go back to approach, or if that didn't work squawk 7600, and maybe not land until you heard clear to land? Oh I know, he thought it was a CTAF and no one was around.
He says he was talking the entire time during approach, and that is absolutely irrelevant. You can talk till your lungs explode, but you don't land without clearance!!
OK, so the tower controller had no contact with the Jetspeed, had no idea if the aircraft was flying normally, could clear the runway safely or wasn't going to end up in a smoking ball at the threshold, but still cleared 2 following aircraft to land behind it. One day not ensuring that a runway is actually vacant and safe to land on, in accordance with what seems to be standard US practice, is going to kill a lot of people, to the delight of many lawyers. Might multiple landing clearances have been a factor in the night time runway disaster at LAX some years ago? Maybe not, but they are another hole in the Swiss cheese. The tower controller was the epitome of calm and professionalism.
Both aircrafts are miles away from the runway and both pilots still have a lot to do inside their planes to prepare for the landing. It's way safer to clear them now, let them prepare and cancel the clearance last minute if anything bad happens with the other plane than delaying the clearance and cause them to either rush their preparation or waste extra time to prepare properly. Also not giving the clearances means both aircrafts will regularly call back to get those clearances. Giving both clearances now keeps the frequency free so the controller can concentrate on dealing with the problematic plane without interference. That's a win-win for everyone.
According to Air Law an aircraft with lost comms which seems to try to land on a runway should be allowed to do so. I guess everything was in line with regulations here. Even when it seems unlikely, maybe they really had some radio problems on final.
Well mechanics need to check planes radios and ATC need to check theie equipment and records to see if he had tfied or yo ring tound nearest yower and say wasche on uour frequency
You know what would have really been impressive by the controller is if he would just have issued a clearance to land over the frequency if able, which he clearly was able to do, or a green light gun. Always assuming the worst, rather than working the situation, then finding out later.
You don't clear someone to land just because they aren't talking. If they have an issue you clear them once they get in the pattern and aren't responding.
yeah sometimes I forget that a red light means I have to stop as well. It can happen, unfamiliar city... No it cant.. Landing without a clearance is the one thing that cant just "happen"... You hardly have to do anything checklist related once you are on final, you literally get handed over to tower and then get your landing clearance. The only excuse would be that you indeed had a problem, but in that case you probably shouldnt continue your approach while trying to fix it with no landing clearance, but clearly he was talking on the radio "all the time" so kinda hard to say..
@@LunnarisLP people run reds all the time due to stress and other factors. You simply blank out for a while and run everything on mental autopilot. We don't know - maybe there is something going on with this guy.
@@BaldurNorddahl And the earth is flat! Hope you are not a pilot if you think your lame excuses for landing without clearance can be simply explained away.
In a situation like this, tower could have cleared him to land regardless of not hearing anything from them. I've seen situations where tower has cleared someone to land even though they weren't in direct communication, in case it was an emergency, faulty equipment or any of the sorts.
The faa will still blame the controllers for 1: approach not correcting the pilot for ignoring the communication transfer; and 2: tower not attempting to establish one way communication with "if you hear me, rock your wings" Even though its obviously the pilots fault I'm certain the babysitters will always be the blame
It seems you missed the segment starting at 1:05 where both controllers do exactly those calls. First: Tower calling "Jetspeed 29 if you hear this transmission IDENT." IDENT means "press the IDENT button on your transponder" which the safe way of doing it with an aircraft equipped with a transponder. If the aircraft has a mechanical issue it can be dangerous to ask them to rock the wings. Second: Approach repeating the frequency transfer call.
Meanwhile passengers are wondering why the pilot is referring to them as tower.
😂😂😂
