DAL 767 lands taxiway M at ATL

[embpic1]

I believe his post was meant to be paired with his "Mistakes in Aviation" title, and wasn't referring to landing gear/up, on a taxiway, or even an ugly chick for that matter.

I think you are right. I missed the title. No one makes it through a career in aviation without making lots of mistakes. It is a part of being human. I just squirm a little when I hear that phrase used in conversations about career changing type mistakes.

What is curious is that it was dark when they landed. Usually ATL has the approach lights up so high you can hardly see the taxiways.

0555 landing. Sunrise is at 0740. Approach lights will be in question, but it was not the landing runway (27R) at the time.

If this would have happened at a regional, the media would have had a field day. The press would have been all over it. They would have had an "experienced" mainline pilot on the air being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer commenting on the lack of experience and lack of competancy in the flight deck. Freak'n mainline pilots.......hey General, pay more attention during critical phases of flight.

No excuse. Pilots screwed up. Taxiway light are blue....runway lights are not. It's the crews job to land on the runway not a taxiway. Everyone deserves a second chance....ASAP it....take the diciplinary action like a man, and move on to fly another day.

Great, now I'm going to have to listen to Delta asking for a runway check!!

 

[doh]

It's not sole source, so hopefully the fed who sits on the ASAP review committee will kick it out of ASAP. When someone makes a mistake about a runway, they are no longer fit to fly. At least that is what the Delta pilots said about the other outfit that missed their runway. I'm just trying to let the Delta pilots be right. ..l..

Well, there another 2 hours added to your RGS and RFT.

It's akin to amputating the patients wrong leg.

They won't. That's not how our ASAP works.

 

[EMBpilot]

Most likely.
But he wasn't a scab
He didn't pay for training
And he didn't sue anyone to try to further his career at the expense at someone else.
Can you say the same?

Good post. He is also not a minority.
And he/they were selected from the best pilots in the World.

You are right.
That is exactly what happens and will continue to happened.
Just compare the hiring standards and quality of new hires at regionals and majors and you will see the big picture, just like Wolf.

It's not sole source, so the feds should still pull his ticket permanently.

I was wondering if it was 9L, because I believe that ILS is OTS. If he could have backed himself up with a localizer, maybe it would've been a different outcome.

I'm sure the controller will dime the pilots to the feds...but sole source or not, if it was not a deliberate act they have no reason to throw it out----but they will need to word the report very, very carefully and hopefully ALPA, ALPA Safety, DALPA and DAPLA Safety folks have gotten together to help the pilots word their ASAP correctly.

Does Delta have the ASAP program back?

Why do some people think a non-sole source ASAP will be thrown out?

Again. You have no clue how the ASAP program works at Delta. Quit while you're behind.

Was that not started from a landing at Ohio State instead of Columbus Ohio? Close enough I guess.

The OSU incident I remember was a TWA 707 landing there instead of CMH. They used to have pictures of it hanging in the greasy spoon there when I flew corporate. Has it happened more than once there with a legacy carrier?

Guys, there is a lot to this. Let the facts come out. It will change the way you view it. Currently everyone is looking like dolts.

I'm waiting to hear how he knew the weight bearing capacity of the taxi would not be exceeded thus leading to catastrophic consequences.
