first of all, controllers make mistakes too - so don't dislocate yourself patting yourself on your back james keck. But yes, pilots are responsible for more of these incursions for a reason... while a controller needs to learn only his airport, the pilot is responsible for EVERY airport and mistakes happen. Thankfully I haven't made this mistake yet, but statistically we all will make a mistake at some point. Lets just hope it isn't a fatal one. Egyptian air.... I could go on and on about how their ineptness led to US Air Force Personnel being forced to fly their AWACS for years because they were too stupid to read the "owners manual". Here we have people who's greatest accomplishment is hitting smaller rocks with larger rocks - flying heavies... don't get me wrong, I don't hate them .... but aviation requires a thorough use and knowledge of the english language.
After 6 years as a VATSIM controller, I know that even in the "pretend" ATC world it can get stressful, with non-compliant pilots who don't speak good English and all. I can only imagine the stress controllers must feel when there are people's lives at stake. My hat is off to those professionals!
This happens more than people know thank the lord we have professionals in those towers..........
Did anyone notice how the ground controller froze for a few seconds and did not issue instructions to MSR while others on the tower cab could be heard yelling "whoa, whoa!" or something to that effect? Maybe I just misjudged it or the recording was cut off.
Don't be scared MGV...fortunately this is rare but shows the system works!
Thank you Frank and John!
