No prizes for who's at fault here. The said carrier has had multiple near accidents in this country over the last few years yet no sanctions. When will Australia show some leadership in this corner? Ban them...
Busted altitudes into Perth this year...drove an A320 into the water...departed of 16R and went off course...busted altitude into Gold Coast...
To give you an idea, that's the distance of two A330s between both aircraft, incredibly close.
Loss of separation involving Airbus A330, 9M-XXS and Airbus A320, VH-VFO near Gold Coast Airport, Qld on 21 July 2016
Investigation number: AO-2016-084
Investigation status: Active
Summary
The flightpaths of the inbound Airbus A320 and the outbound Airbus A330 resulted in a loss of separation. Both aircraft received a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) [1] resolution advisory (RA), [2] with the crew of the A320 conducting a climb to increase separation.
[1] Traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) is an aircraft collision avoidance system. It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder and gives warning of possible collision risks.
[2] Traffic Collision Avoidance System Resolution Advisory, when an RA is issued pilots are expected to respond immediately to the RA unless doing so would jeopardize the safe operation of the flight.
