flight safety

you simply cannot regulate and train for every conceivable situation. sometimes a pilot just ACTS and sometimes it works out for the best and sometimes it doesn't.

What you can do is train and discuss and hope for understanding. IF a pilot doesn't landin the first third of a runway, then you should go around...but if going around would cause a midair collision then stay on the ground.

What needs to be done is simply this. Acknowledge that there will be overruns...put 1000' of EMAS over run material on all runways. IF this plane had hit EMAS...it would be flying again by now...think about that.


I am all for more training, better training...more frequent training. In fact I think three times as much time in the sim/classroom and at least 3 times as much money should be spent. I also think a good amount of flying in a REAL PLANE loaded with sandbags should be part of the equation.

Why not? MONEY...that's the answer for all crashes...MONEY.
