APG 119 – More Near Misses, MH370 Update

Posted on May 30th, by Capt. Jeff in Podcast. No Comments

What is up with all of these recent near misses? The FAA comes up with a new plan to prevent incidents from recurring at EWR. Excellent analysis of the “near miss over the Pacific” by Ben Granucci, Associate Editor at NYCAviation.com, and a new occurrence at Houston Intercontinental, including audio from LiveATC.net.

You’re not going to believe this. A crackdown on passenger drinking at London’s Gatwick Airport appears to have “greatly reduced” the number of alcohol-fueled in-flight incidents on one route to a popular party destination, a British leisure-focused airline says. Wow. Who knew?

More news, including a hard landing by a FinnAir flight at JFK, another turbulence event injures two, and another near collision event near Perth, WA, Australia, involving a UFO. Really strange.
