Another "near miss" at AUS
I wouldn't really call this a near miss. FedEx was cleared to land while a few miles away. SWA was cleared to takeoff causing FedEx to go around:

Near Miss in AUS
A FedEx 767 came within ~30' of spreading LUV in AUS. Seems like bad WX and some poor SA from several folks almost resulted in a really bad day. Tower reported RVR of 1200/600/1600

This now passes aviation news? That happened to me, just before I retired, I missed the news of imminent demise, I guess.

I dunno. I’d say 25’ counts as “pretty close”.
|
Somebody over at A.net (yes, I know) posted a video overlaying the two Flight Aware tracks. Yes, very scary actually.

Kudos to the FedEx crew. In AUS I’ve continued and landed when everyone was too close possibly reinforcing this bad behavior. If I had gone around we would only have been separated vertically. There must be more to this than a go-around.

1000 rvr, asking for and granting a takeoff clearance with an aircraft 3 miles out is (fill in the blank).

Second, why would the Southwest jet accept a takeoff clearance this close during these conditions? Isn't the ILS Critical Area supposed to be sterile for arriving aircraft approach fix to landing? |
FedEx called the SWA abort. Awesome SA from
FedEx. If SWA had taken off the FedEx go around would have been interesting. FedEx saved this all the way. |
