Southwest pilot is a cool cat.

[@christophercollins868]

Excellent work tower!

[@cobibaker4361]

When a pilot is given clear to land, he/she has the whole runway distance to land on unless he is specifically given a “land and hold short” clearance. This was not issued here so the controller should not have cleared the intersecting airplane for takeoff until the landing plane had taxid off the runway.

[@andrewlorenzo6611]

Controller said to exit of C6 and he read it back? Sounds like a deviation.

[@roguefox4308]

Honestly, all pilots seemed to do great here. Stayed calm, on task, and worked together to get it done with no arguing.

[@dangould7679]

Correct me if I am wrong but I didn't hear hold short runway 15. So, really pilot deviation? Sounds like he couldn't turn at C6 as directed. ATC was quick to prevent a catastrophe but ... intersecting runways is a situation ripe for arriving to conflict with departing.

[@dgonL]

You are right. The only thing the pilot did wrong was to read back that they were taking C6, they sould have said they were unable.

[@Packhorse-bh8qn]

Watch it again. He missed his turn. You do NOT cross a runway without specific clearance!

[@dgonL]

@@Packhorse-bh8qn Not true in this case because his landing runway crosses the other runway. This means that a landing clearance gives him the right to use the full runway length and thus allows him to cross the runway.

[@GiancarloGiuliano-wo5iy]

@@Packhorse-bh8qnthat will only be true if LAHSO is in place, the landing traffic is authorized to do it and tower tells him to hold short of the intersecting runway.

@0:52 Sounds like "TV 5 willco", which is radio speak for 'will comply'. I rarely hear that in these atc recordings.

[@Packhorse-bh8qn]

Veteran, likely.

[@iain8837]

I actually checked my settings as I thought playback speed was set at 2x! PS 00:54 “wilco”

[@buddycheck84]

I know right! Gotta be an auctioneer on a cattle ranch to deal with these people. 😂

[@terrydavis8451]

I listen to all videos at 2x and I had to slow this one down.

[@leechjim8023]

Intersecting runways are BAD plain and simple!

[@pgbrandon]

I'm new to all this, but wouldn't this happen more frequently than it needs to with intersecting runways?

[@wadepatton2433]

@@pgbrandon Intersecting runways are the norm. This gives four directions in order to best capitalize on the prevailing wind conditions. It can also provide a shorter return path if there's a problem at takeoff.

[@bombud1]

Guessing LAHS operations were in place so even if you werent sure of the taxi turn, you know you can't cross the other runway

[@liam3284]

Seems the pilot is unable or disoriented. This whole arrangement looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

[@EdOeuna]

Welcome to America.

[@staubach1979rt]

Exactly what happens when a pilot calls the dreaded phone number?

[@2whl4re]

The call will be handled by a supervisor or controller in charge. It's a conversation. ATC is going to want to hear the pilot's version of what happened, and why they did what they did. They're going to tell them the problem they caused, and the instructions that were given by ATC to the pilot prior to the event. It's a learning opportunity, usually. Contrition by the pilot is a good thing, but they aren't cops, they aren't going to arrest you, and ATC doesn't 'do violations' - that's the higher ups at the FSDO.
The controllers have the option of referring it to the FSDO, but that usually isn't going to happen unless there's a clear reason.
The pilot, if wise, will file a NASA (ASRS) report about the event within 10 days. It's a get out of jail free card - no sanctions if a NASA report is filed. But it can only be used once every five years.

[@terrydavis8451]

​@@2whl4re I don't think this was a PD. I guess technically for accepting a turn he could not make. I think he wants to get on the same page as the pilot and make sure that the pilot doesn't do something stupid like file a report on the tower. I don't know I've only been around Missionary flying.

[@staubach1979rt]

@@2whl4re How do they know what the deviation was and the details of the incident? The ATC operators don’t have time to explain the violation.

[@Packhorse-bh8qn]

@@terrydavis8451 " I don't think this was a PD. "
Crossing a runway without clearance is not a PD??

[@wadepatton2433]

I think it's something about extended warranty...🤣
