Air Canada plane avoids disaster in San Francisco

An Air Canada plane narrowly averted disaster after it almost landed on a taxiway with four other planes on it in San Francisco Friday night.

Air Canada flight AC759 from Toronto was cleared to land on runway 28R just before midnight, a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration said.

"However, the pilot inadvertently lined up for Taxiway C, which runs parallel to the runway," the statement said. "An air traffic controller sent the Air Canada jet around."

In an audio recording of the conversations between air traffic control and pilots available from Live ATC, the Air Canada pilot tells air traffic control he sees other lights on the runway before being told there are no other planes on 28R.

Aqui hay mas informacion acerca de este incidente que podria haber sido una catastrofe!


Ryan Jorgenson, a FlightAware senior aviation data analyst, pulled the time stamp from the air traffic audio of the moment the air traffic controller ordered the aborted landing and then used FAA Surface Movement Event Service location data to determine exactly where the plane was at 11:56:07 p.m. on July 7.

“If everything lines up with my data and the timestamp from the audio, it’s amazing that the pilots were even able to go-around that late in the final approach,” he said.

Mountain View pilot Max Trescott, who has been following the event, took it a step further, saying that had the Air Canada pilot waited five more seconds to pull up, he would have hit the third jet on the runway — a United Airlines 787 headed to Sydney, Australia filled with fuel and passengers. He calculated the time element based on the new FlightAware data.

“I find it remarkable that the Air Canada crew had still not fully comprehended their situation as they were passing over the second airliner, when the tower called for the go-around,” Trescott said.

Yo creo que coincide que en este tipo de aeropuertos de dobles pistas y además otras dos en forma de cruz suelen haber más incidentes ó confusiones de este tipo, hace poco hubo otro "incidente en el Chicago midway", tambien con el mismo diseño de pistas... y fue que autorizaron a 2 aviones a despegar casi al mismo tiempo ¡perpendicularmente!¿?

Bastante cerca!

Es increíble lo grande que pudo haber sido esta tragedia.

Me cuesta trabajo pensar como es que se pudieron haber confundido.

Realmente los pasó rozando. Las mismas luces de aterrizaje los llega a iluminar así que no es una mera percepción del ángulo. Pudo ser una verdadera tragedia.
