, a JetBlue plane landing at Boston’s Logan International Airport had to take “evasive action” to avoid hitting a Learjet charter plane that had failed to follow a command from air traffic controllers.
March also marks the 46th anniversary of the deadliest accident in aviation history, when 583 people were killed at the main airport in Tenerife, Spain, in 1977 after two plains collided on the runway. The accident prompted a series of changes that remain common practice today, like the use of standardized English phrases over communication channels and the implementation of crew resource management — a set of policies that give other crew members in the cockpit license to contradict a pilot’s orders if they believe they are unsafe.
“That was a really huge thing that helped change safety — that all crew members can feel like they can speak up...without the threat of losing their job or being reprimanded, or even take over control if necessary,” said Kathleen Bangs, an aerospace expert and former commercial pilot. “This was big step forward from the breed of pilots who had been trained in the military or during wartime.”Colgan Air Flight 3407 went down en route to Buffalo, N.Y.
“Safety does not breed vigilance,” she said. “Unfortunately, the flip side is complacency. That’s what we’re seeing — pilots cutting short, controllers cutting short, people not paying attention.”
