Radzi 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 I wonder what will happen if the following aircraft needs to TOGA? This is nothing compared to what I saw in KUL a few weeks ago. Single runway ops, 32L. AK A320 cleared to line up. TG B777 on final. AK cleared for takeoff, but didn't start their takeoff roll immediately. When AK A320 started rolling, TG B777 decided to GA. When AK A320 just get airborne, TG B777 was just about above them. Under ATC control, TG bank left, AK maintain runway heading, problem solved. Saw a similar thing in SIN a few years back, can't remember the airlines. But ATC cancelled their takeoff clearance (for delaying takeoff and causing a GA) and they had to rejoin the queue again.

Norman 1 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Capt .... that wasn't the first time in 32L.... BTW.... long time ago during 32R single ops... Witnessed myself the situation as the photo above... Tower was really edgy at that time... as soon as the departing a/c airborned he just issued ... "(rego))... clear to land 32R..", & seconds later touchdown... phew.. (everybody was standing in the tower...)... so "immediate.." means really "now..."... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike P 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Only if the protocol allows them to do so. Technically an aircraft isn't even allowed on the runway until the plane is fully taken off? I thought that's normal practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put them in the "sin" (no pun intended) bin to reflect on their actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
