Btw: I had a case sw wind cleared for left downwind 22 and left base which took me over 32. Regional CRJ type out of Chicago announces "on base" didn't say what runway. I immediately asked tower for position (this before new tech) informed as was fine continue close base "clear to land". Well the regional was turning off base for final 32r Tower had to make the regional go around cause I was already cleared. Got a "call tower phone #" after shut down. Usually you don't want that. He just wanted to apologize. I'd have liked to heard the other conversation cause the regional did not make proper position reports. I've been into DCA but pre 911.

Yes data seems to show the hit 10 - 15 sec after the "pass behind" instruction. My original point is it takes generally takes 3 things to cause the accident chain. The first single controller didn't cause it but two controllers might have broke the chain, just like any of the other 3 could have broke it. What if they'd recieved instruction 30 sec earlier? A pilot can always say "unable" its just you might be asked to make a phone call later to explain. It's always better to still be around to explain. The two CRJ pilots discussed before they accepted. Even small planes have tech in cockpit showing other traffic its just not going to work for traffic at 200' agl. Also have had for long time tech that shows where you will be in 5, 10 etc minutes. Tower has it too. The CRJ had been cleared & accepted circle to land 33 and then cleared to land which means cleared all the way to the ground not just 400'.

And your plan is?

Boo!

H3 seems to be AWOL ... hope he didn't get cornered/trapped over in the NWT forum. Sorry fly ... at least you saved some CB. We should let @Idaho know there's no reason to continue paying retainer.

Doesn't take as long as a TF.

But not an MD?

Well ok then ... these two look like they didn't go.

What doctor (medical) do you know who was able to do it in 7 years?

I'll go dogecoin to your bitcoin or we could just bet CB.

Sounds about right.

It appeared the Blackhawk hit the CRJ within a few seconds of being instructed to pass behind. And couldve instructed "left turn pass behind" then more clear it wasn't the other aircraft. 300mph closure rate is 12 seconds to go a mile correct?

Kamala is that you?

Some kids are done in high school some continue into college. And grandfather. But maybe more import is when did the dad or grandfather quit growing, its a genetic thing, see above.

Transferring to OU?

I think they said its usually till 9:30 but one controller left early. Have you every flown into a busy airport like DCA? When you've got a 300 kts closure rate you don't want to be waiting for the controller to get back to you.

They would not have been as busy an hour later, hence why they back off to one controller later. That flight would've already landed.

Don't think the issue is so much the qualifications but the staffing numbers. Been reported/suggested DCA was at about 67% of the expected staffing level. Also only one working both traffic when normally two thru the busy hours. Director of training in Oklahoma suggested they were getting plenty of applicants but only putting out ~ 70 to 80% of the numbers in the past due to ratios.

Does Schwab know ... maybe he will flip and go to Northen Iowa?

Its not a Basset thread ... leave him be.

The lawyers are on my side ( @Idaho ) ... leave me alone!

His real name is Danny Bo Basset?

We can agree to go -1 on the O/U.

So maybe Iowa?

This is Basset Day ... what are you doing?
