AA Pilot Disciplined for Taxiing Slow???

[Amish RakeFight]

Wow. That's kind of unbelieveable. I hope this comes back to roost for Osborne.

Keep two turning on the way out.

I believe that the AIM recomends "a brisk walk" as a safe taxi speed.

for airplanes without brakes

for airplanes without brakes

And taxiing on grass...

 

[satpak77]

taxi at "brisk walk" speed is something that should be left at Acme Flyers when you graduate with your Seminole Commercial ME ticket

 

[NYCPilot]

stop playing dumb guys. you know what hes talkin about. brisk walk to the block, especially with incursions being a hot topic.

 

[Fliteidol]

Fly Safe! Out on two and configure early inbound.

for airplanes without brakes

But what if your brakes fail?

The Capt using his phone should be the one we're talking about..idiot

No kidding. Certificate action seems just about right if it's true.

The Feds won't touch Osborne. He's doing his job as AMR intended.

The FAA already pissed off AMR with the 80 groundings (just to show they were "fair" in their scrutiny of all carriers...) so they won't violate a Chief no matter what.

You make it public that you were using your cellphone WHILE moving on an active taxiway and see how long YOU keep your license. More hypocrisy from the Government that gave us the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bailouts (and bonuses to the management that got them there).TC

Yeah, well now that it turns out that the commuter train driver was texting before he killed dozens (and himself in LA) the feds may have to act after all.

Hopefully someone will get out there and publicize that point.

To be fair to the engineer. It turns out that some kid told a local news station in LA that he was texting the engineer before the crash. That doesn't mean it actually happened. Cell phone records will easily confirm or dispute this quickly.

There's also a report from other engineers that the railway lighting system has been having issues. Issues where the red/green lights at mission control don't correlate to what's being seen on the rail.

Sorry for the thread hijack....

I am no engineer but I would guess it takes more than one missed red before 2 trains head-on? Most likley the usual chain of events.

None the less this AA Chief needs some more exposure!
