Earlier this year, there were a number of near misses during airport operations. These included one aircraft nearly landing on top of another that was taking off while both were operating under an ATC clearance. Then an aircraft crossed an active runway without a proper clearance. The list goes on.
As you might expect, I’m often asked by friends and family for my take on current aviation events. In this case, people naturally want to know if “the system” is breaking down enough to allow these incidents.
