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

@VASAviation 6 years ago

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!

"You're unreadable, sir." Hold on...let me try wearing this headset thing.

I'm glad they had Victor on board. He probably had the vector.

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

9:50 how to talk to pilot that doesn't speak English. Don't yell, don't repeat, just use simple words with a slow flow.

"Volaris, you're welcome for the help. *Now here's the number you need to call*"

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.

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.

This whole series is outstanding. Thank you for creating these.

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.

Captain of Volaris 880 had a rough day at work lol. Great video as usual.

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.

Several instances of not-so-passive aggression by ATC when communicating with RJET reference the blundering traffic.

Female ATC was much more professional.

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.

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.

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.

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.
