There have been two major incidents around landing at SFO in the last decade, one involving fatalities.
Prioritising safety by requesting to land using ILS after a 12 hour flight should not be seen as 'punishing' everyone else.
- nerdponx 3y agoMy understanding is that the Lufthansa crew could/should have requested ILS much sooner in order to give ATC time to figure it out.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoExcept of course that everyone else is apparently able to handle it.
- yellow_postit 3y agoRight up until they can’t and a new rule gets written in blood. Given the depth perception issues of lights at night this seems like a sane request. The bigger problems are overworked ATC (fixable) and the utter mess that is SFO design (seems unlikely to fix)
