(This happends every day in CPH)
even 2 planes landing same time From nort rw22 and south rw 04
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has stopped its air traffic controllers reversing the flow of runway traffic after a recent miscommunication caused a loss of separation between three commuter aircraft near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The FAA wants a national standardised procedure to be put in place before controllers resume the practice of directing aircraft to take off and land against the usual direction.
The FAA made the change after a July 31 incident at Reagan National Airport involving three US Airways commuter flights which were directed to fly closer than the required 1,000 vertical feet and 3.5 lateral miles separation.
At the time of the incident, air traffic controllers had been changing the direction aircraft were landing and taking off at the airport due to bad weather developing to the airport’s south.
