It’s is 99% computerized. It’s the last 1% that requires significant human interpretation and reaction to real world events.
Even further, many of these problems do not lie solely with ATC. They also involve humans, piloting the airplanes.
- qiqitori 3y agoI don't get why this incident occurred, it should be quite preventable with the currently installed (quite simple) technology, namely status lights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway_status_lights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway_status_lights They're apparently installed according to this PDF: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/rwsl/media/JFK.pdf https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/rwsl/media/JFK.pd... In this case, planes coming from 04R (per the article) were crossing 04L. All the normal crossings of 04L I see in this PDF are equipped with the lights. So what went wrong?
