And no fire trucks crossing the runways.
- PunchyHamster 7mo ago....they need to get to fucking fire ....if they go around kilometer of the runway the fire will turn into bigger fire
- singleshot_ 7mo agoTwo trucks
- renewiltord 7mo agoDid it? They didn’t get there so did we get bigger fire at their target? I imagine the training will consist of something like changing the comms protocol to say “runway lights are on, control. Truck 1 confirming cross runway 4D?” prior to crossing. Double check so to speak.
- rogerrogerr 7mo agoGround vehicles consistently have radio conventions that just don't fit into the aviation world. It feels like a contributor to this accident, you can hear the controller's brain skip a couple gears trying to understand the goofy word order from the truck. Pilots and controllers speak the same language in the same order; ground vehicles just kinda say stuff. The aviation-ized version of your proposal would be something like this: > tower truck 1 short of 4 at delta, red status lights
- renewiltord 7mo agoThat makes sense! I imagine the word order thing is just that ground vehicles are not aviation trained. They just happen to be in the same space.
