NTSB INVESTIGATING AVIATION RUNWAY INCURSION AND AIRCRAFT SEPARATION INCIDENTS
In the first runway incursion incident, a commuter jet narrowly missed a general aviation aircraft during a nighttime landing at Fresno Yosemite International Airport in California.
In the second runway incursion incident, a pilot of a general aviation aircraft landed on a closed runway at the Reading Regional Airport/Carl A. Spaatz Field, in Reading, Pennsylvania.
In the aircraft separation incident, two commercial jets came within 1 minute lateral separation over the Atlantic Ocean in a non-radar environment where 15 minutes of lateral separation is required.
Romanucci & Blandin is doing its best to report these incidents as we feel that the overcrowding of the skies and cost cutting practices of all of our airlines may lead to disaster. Please make sure you are always reminding your federal legilatures as to how important aviation safety is and to keep in mind that runway expansion projects, new radar equipment, debris seeking equipment are all important to our continued safety in the skies.
