3 mile spacing with reported RVR of 1200/600/1600....
At 3:1, landing aircraft 900 AGL when takeoff clearance given, inside 1000' stabilized approach gate...hmmm. Likely a CAT3 autoland so crew is not looking outside. I realize you gotta move airplanes but thats a little agressive. Duke |

Quoted: Pretty sure the comment from the fed ex crew at 9:20 was a polite way to say WTF!? The controller was too asleep to recognize the bad situation that was shaping up. The controller also never called for an expedited take off when he cleared the SW aircraft. That said.. He told the SW crew that there was a 767 on 3 mile. So... View Quote Give or take a little, 1 minute of separation. "SWA Please expedite for noise avoidance" |

View Quote You are probably correct but when verified to land that is time to be explicit and ask where the hell the Southwest plane is. Two sets of pilots and a controller and all three missed it? |

Quoted: Holey shit! I know they are listing the call at 10:23 as from the tower. Was it from the tower or was it the fed ex crew calling the SW aircraft to abort and calling "fed ex on the go"?? That controller took long enough to realize shit isnt going to work there. View Quote Yep, it sounded to me like the FedEx pilot told SW to abort and then advised they were on the go. Definitely not the same controllers voice. |

2 aircraft at full power right on top of each other must have been loud.

As a mechanic with a run taxi authorization anytime a controller tells you expedite or aircraft on final. It’s a professional way of saying get your @$$ moving.

FedEx crew telling SWA to abort is some top notch situational awareness. Holy shit.
If it was that low of a temperature and visibility, SWA might have been doing a pre departure run up. If that’s the case that would explain the delay of initiating the takeoff roll. They should’ve informed atc and not accepted the takeoff clearance knowing there’s a 767 3 miles out. |

Seems like Southwest took too long and ATC didn't realize the delay could cause a conflict. In hindsight ATC should've told Southwest to expedite when they cleared them. ATC was probably trying to get Southwest out to save departure time due to the heavy landing.

Not the first time something like this has ever happened.
Might be different causes though. This happened at Toronto International HOW was THIS Allowed to HAPPEN?! Edit: The video has an explanation of RIMCAS(the system that's supposed to prevent these things from happening) and how that system could allow these things to happen. |

View Quote At that temp, and visibility we would have to do a 30 second run up (in an NG) on the runway prior to brake release. It’s a Boeing requirement, so I doubt SWA’s procedures are any different. But we always tell the tower we need that time on the runway before we can start the roll. |
|
That’s crazy, and job well done to the FedEx pilots for pulling that off.
A question for the experts, did the fedex’s rate of climb out put them in danger of stalling? I’d imagine they were close to the edge of not slamming into the other plane and not dropping out of the sky from a stall either. |

I bet those Fedex pilots wished they were working for UPS so they could wear their brown pants

When the TOGA (takeoff/go around) paddle is pressed, throttles advance and A/C pitches to the GA cue on the flight director. Airspeed target is above min speed for current configuration. Aircraft accelerates and flaps retracted on speed to a clean configuration. LNAV/VNAV ( lateral/vertical nav) is engaged during the process and off you go. Assuming auto pilot on, a go around is a non event. Duke |

Had to listen to it again. It sounded like a normal go around with Swa calling the abort. Tower calling it was a sign that Swa took too long to get rollin. Old school Swa would’ve gotten airborne in no time.
|
|
Quoted: "Nothing unusual about this. Maybe Swa took a little longer to get off but it happens. Everything from the audio sounds like it worked the way it was supposed to. We get cleared for take off with traffic three miles on final and it’s assumed by all that you’ll be rolling asap. The abort was called as normal. Fedex did exactly like they were supposed to. I land with traffic just becoming airborne on short final once in a while. No big deal. We land with traffic just clearing the exit fifteen seconds before we touchdown. Everyone is ready to go around because it’s how you train and expect. Everybody, it sounds, did a great job." Probably good idea you deleted that View Quote That’s why I reposted it. Couldn’t tell a difference between their voices. |

Little confused about SWA. They were calling abort but flight data looked like they got off the ground. Did they abort the take off or just do a shallow climb out to avoid FE.

SWA knew what was going on. They were told there was a 767 at 3 miles.. yes cutting it close but they had plenty of time to get rolling and out of their before the FedEx. If they couldn’t get going that fast they should have informed the tower.
People in here are seemingly wanting to blame ATC (the racist comments are kinda weird) but I think the root cause of this is SWA. |

Just another day. Been seeing an increase of the ATC Brasher warning jokes lately. System is failing. Notams are a joke, hell that grounded planes nationwide a few weeks ago. Few years ago they printed half a reem of notes if we even went close to DC, try reading that in 20 minutes time. I really wish the public could see how we get our notams and how unreadable they really are. Notice to air missions...lol(you know if you know). There is a reason I nickname certain controllers "Angels of Death". Once had a controller put me nose to nose with a bell whirly bird, causing me to make evasive action only 50 ft off the ground. Only consequence was the controller was out 20$, gave me a gift card to BW3 and said he was sorry. Role reversed...out of a license for a period of time, big time fines, and possibly out of a career.
As for Austin, running them too tight. |

There has to be video of this, right?
Wonder when that will get released |

View Quote On a go around you have plenty of energy to initiate a go around. Full power is not really needed on the plane I fly.a heavily laden 737? No idea! |

Quoted: Incident took place at 1240Z according to Flightradar24 video. View Quote So.... the Southwest aircraft was cleared for takeoff when the landing UPS aircraft was 3 miles away. The FedEx aircraft was traveling let's say 170 knots.... so it would travel 3 miles in just over a minute. Southwest is slow to take off, thus the FedEx plane is on top of them, literally, while they are finally rolling out. I am not a pilot nor am I an air traffic controller but... 3 miles seems They were... about 1 second away from disaster assuming a sink rate of 30 feet per second and 27' of vertical separation. I would think the SW aircraft would need to be inspected for damage, no? |
