bushcaddy105 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 May I take the opportunity to thank all pilots at Narromine who encouraged me to formally report my incident with the Airbus (while en route to Narromine) to the ATSB. My report was received with courtesy, and I was assured that my approach procedures had been correct. I was also pleased to learn that the Airbus crew had accurately reported the incident prior to my reporting. So the message is:- report ALL incidents, as the big boys don't always get it correct! For those who didn't hear the story, refer to ATSB reference no. 20080 1771 dated 14/03/08 Take it from me, an Airbus 320 sneaking up from behind at 300 feet separation looks awfully big as it appears in the screen!
ZoneMagic Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 just had a look on the ATSB site and can not find the report.
bushcaddy105 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 Sorry, I should have put in a link. It's in the weekly reports, but rather obscure. Go to:- www.atsb.gov.au/publications/2008/pdf/aws210308.pdf and page down to page 13
bushcaddy105 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 Neither could I find it again at the first address! The date in the address line has changed from when I first found it, perhaps as more reports are added? I've just re-checked, and got it at:- www.atsb.gov.au/publications/2008/pdf/aws040408.pdf Its still on page 13 Why are .gov websites so difficult to navigate around?
Guest J430 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Can't see it there, want to share the experience with us? J
ZoneMagic Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 ahh yes found it on that one.. Bushcaddy105 what was the aprox time of the Incident?
Guest airsick Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Frighteningly similar to the Rex inicident mentioned elsehwere.
Guest J430 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Found it:thumb_up: Must have been too sleepy when looking last night! Well seems that freq selection gets em all. Anyone who says they have never done it at least once is either lying or does not have a radio! J:wave:
Guest aircraft1 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Thats why CTAF R's have beepbacks etc..... No beepback means CHECK YOUR FREQUENCY ! AHH, and these commercial guys are meant to be professionals ! ;)
TechMan Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Hi John, Can you please also submit an incident report to RA-Aus if you have not done so already? Thanks Chris
