(HD Video) UTair Aviation 767-300 Go Around at Barcelona Airport

Submitted
An UTair Boeing 767-300 (VQ-BSX) incoming from Moscow as UT5187 and Aerolíneas Argentinas Airbus A340-300 (LV-FPV) were involved into what could be the bigger disaster of Barcelona Airport. The Utair 767 was about to land on Runway 02 while the Argentinas was crossing the runway. By the time Russian pilots sights Argentinas (they were taxiing to Holding point of RW25R for take-off) on runway while they were on final approach, they do their best making an impressive and close go around.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but for once, congratulations to CNN for not going beserk and billing this at "Terror in the Skies", etc.. I watched the video via CNN, and their aviation correspondent took pains to point out the perspective and that the aircraft appeared closer than they were.

Sorry, but as pilots when we CAN see a situation ahead, we react. In this case, it was "severe clear" and yes the other jet went around....... "TOGA....Flaps 20....Positive rate, gear up, check altitude"...THAT for a B-767, just a few of the call-out. in a go-around.

Good catch for the UT pilot. Those callouts are the most important, especially that 1st one. That pulls everybody's head back in the game cause you know crap is fixin' to happen fast. I don't guess it's quite so bad when, for whatever reason, you just wind up with a trashy approach and give it up and go around to try it again. It's a little more anxious when you get closer down and it get's throwed at you like that. I was just before a good unbothered, picture perfect flare several years ago at KSAT and a little 150 just dawdled out there on the runway like he owned the place. Talking to several later that were at the FBO and they said they didn't know a 757's engines would smoke like that. I don't know about the smoke but those RB 211's spooled fast. LOL. As far as the 150, student, got mixed up, thought he was on the taxiway. As I was going around, tower just cleared him off and got him the heck out of the way.

Hey preacher ever wonder what would happen if KPHL Tower (or anywhere else) would clear with "Speedbird six niner is cleared to land 27 Right...burble...squelch...burble ...squelch", as someone keys another mike (or no trx due to an equipment failure) and the missing part was "...after company traffic has crossed at Tango" (or November, or Lima or anywhere else). Tango (and possibly November) are far enough back from the threshold and 17/35 crossing that 69'ers driver might not be looking that far ahead and the right seat preoccupied with the panel switching to ground or something else inside like packing his Jepp case or whatever they use today ? Alternatively a similar scenario with Ground clearing "Speedbird 66 cleared to cross 27 Right at Tango ...burble "etc, with "...after company traffic has landed" having beed stepped on.

Well, besides the arrogance of the KLM golden boy, that's about what happened at Tenarife. They say the radios and all are better this day and that supposedly don't happen but open eyes are better than 100 radios. When that missing part about company traffic at Tango shows up as big old airplane in front of you, you better have a plan B until you are safely on the ground or in the air away from everybody. Just one more reason they say takeoffs and landings are the most dangerous times of any flight. If all goes well, fine, but a t/o or landing is a conglomeration of "WHAT IF THIS GOES WRONG" and most go smooth. Then some not.
As far as a direct answer to your question, I'd have to say "Let me wake up Leroy cause he ain't never seen no crash like this". LOL

I hate to spoil the party (and I can't believe that eight million people actually watched that YouTube video).

Apparently the Aerolineas Argentinas crew crossed the runway in error, which is serious. BUT, the camera perspective greatly exaggerates how close the two aircraft came. Reports say the planes were a full kilometer apart.

Meanwhile the go-around maneuver, performed by the 767 was, by itself, routine.

I discuss go-arounds in chapter 3 of my book (Cockpit Confidential). The maneuver can FEEL abrupt and can be frightening to nervous flyers, but it's perfectly natural for an airplane, and not especially difficult for the pilots.

Most of you likely know this already.

Well, Patrick, you really haven't spoiled the party but I'll make a few comments to some of yours. It doesn't appear that Aerolineas crossed in error. According to the Spanish folks, both planes were clear and yes the camera angle was exaggerated showing way closer than they actually were. I would like to see a side angle view myself. That said, anytime I have been cleared with no restriction and something jumps out there, it is my decision to continue the approach or not. This was apparently a little too close for comfort for the UT pilot and he went around. a mile is not much at that speed. You know that.Anybody that has flown for awhile has been there, done that, whether in a C150 or big iron. It is unsettling to the pax but it is a maneuver that all pilots train for. This is one reason all us old heads always stress to fly the plane. Until you are down & chocked, landing is one of the most dangerous parts of a trip and the pilot is along to handle what goes wrong. If it's all good, it's a wonderful feeling. I'll be the 1st to give up a trashy approach and try again, but I hate surprises.

An unplanned one like that is where reflex and training kicks in and when you call TOGA, you hope everything works and you can spool up enough power to clear the guy. That said, I would thought that just out of instinct, the Aerolineas guy would have taken a quick glance too. Yes he was in the right as he'd been cleared to cross but UT had also been cleared to land. Dead Right????????? I can't really tell but if the UT had been a little further in, it might have been bad ugly.

Well, they can say what they want to about clearance and I'd sure have to see a side shot for another angle on the clearance, BUT, if I had been given clearance to land, anything that got in my way past that time would be an incursion and I would go around as well. It would be hard for me to believe that no reports were filed or nothing was said. Even if it would have worked, it would have been too close for comfort, and being in the pointey end, I'd have been at the crash scene first. If he cleared him to land, saying "After the Aerolingues crossed", then it really would have been pilot's call and he may have been expecting it, but it just seem like it was sort of surprising. It looked like the only difference between it and Tenarife was that he had time to get airborne again and get over the top.

From the angle of the video, the Argentinas A340 seems to be crossing 02/20 at the taxiway just south of 25R, which would be N5. That puts them about a mile down from the threshold of the landing 767.

1) I would love to hear the full ATC feed.

2) I'm curious to see exactly where the crossing aircraft was taxiing (how far down the runway was he), to see how much space there really was between the planes. After all, the landing jet was still well above ground level when the taxiing aircraft was halfway through crossing the runway.

The video shows that. He was just crossing that active, taxiing to the other runway. As I said below about the AvWeb article that said both were cleared, the angle may have it look worse than what it was but it apparently was too close for comfort to the UT pilot. I don't think he was that far out.

Okay....It's been interesting following so far, but I can't help but chime in now.
Those of you who have served Army (and maybe USMC) know that there there's two types of walking: (1) Walking, (1) Range Walk! Range Walk!
Range Walk is a 'No-Shit Uptempo' fast walking pace intended to get your butt off the rifle range swiftly but safely. If you're not Range Walkin', someone's gonna tell you about it right quick!

So I can't help but think how that may apply to the OP.
Are there rules, tempos, standards that pilots are supposed to follow when scooting across any runway, let alone an active one??? I mean, one shouldn't be lollygagging their way across an active runway. Goose you some throttle and scoot yourself across and off that runway!
So.....are there rules/standards for that??
Thanks!

Well, there probably are somewhere but common sense is the best and you are much correct about the range walk and goosing it to scoot across but a lot of mentality nowadays is that if you are cleared, what ever piece of real estate or airspace you are in at the moment belongs to you. Now, big iron won't move like a GTO but it does seem to me that that 340 was lollygaggin' just a little. Probably the tower was expecting or wanting him to "RANGE WALK" and he decide to "DAWDLE". LOL

I might add that any airport with parallel runways has this problem. ATL comes to mind. If you are on the outside, you take whichever high speed and stack. When the tower says go you go and you don't dawdle. It ain't uncommon to look out on final as you cross and see a lineup out there, but they ain't that close.

I think the Argentinian aircraft was on taxiway N5 which crosses about half way down the runway. The landing aircraft touched down (at least on second attempt) about a third of the way down the 8300 foot runway.
The UT pilot did well to recognize the issue, power up and Toga in plenty of time to make it appear as close as it did thanks to the camera angle. Still 1000 feet is quickly covered!

Love the discussion between various pilots on this issue. In this day and age, with everyone having a cell phone video, any mistake is going to be viewed by thousands of people. What looks routine to pilots probably scars the *rap out of the public. Another issue not discussed so far is language. Although English is the official flying language, if you have Spaniards and Russians trying to communicate in English you have the potential for a mis-communication. One of the other posts said, " "Speedbird six niner is cleared to land 27 Right...burble...squelch...burble ...squelch" Now add a Russian accent to that and you just increased your chance of a problem. I might add that Argentinian Spanish is different from Spanish in Spain. I work with a Spaniard and an Argentinian, and sometimes they can barely communicate.

I have been playing the video many times, the person recording says " Oh Dios" (Oh God).
Just to be fair I will like to see a simulated graphic from above. Similar to the ones presented by CNN on the Texas near miss. As a pilot , regardless, if another aircraft is coming to the same runway I am in, or I am approaching a runway were there is an aircraft, GET OUT OF THERE. We cannot assume that the aircraft on the runway is going to move quickly enough and or a might float too much on the touch down thus eating more runway than expected. THERE IS NO EXCUSE HERE.
