Air Canada Taxiway Overfly: Investigating Incidents

In almost a teaser to a post I have coming out on Monday, the NTSB has just released all the factual information it has collected in its investigation of an incident that occurred last year at San Fransisco involving an Air Canada A320.

As you can see from the video that they released yesterday, this was a very close call. Even though there were no injuries or deaths or damage, it represents a great opportunity for examination and learning.

Unfortunately, my post on Monday discusses a couple of missed opportunities.

While not an official video, this one also gives you a simulation with ATC recordings. The simulation looks conservative in the end.
