Having just one controller on duty is also problematic [as noted in the recent wrong-runway episode in Lexington KY (RISKS-24.41)]. [Source: Matthew L. Wald, *The New York Times*, 20 Sep 2006; PGN-ed, TNX to Lauren Weinstein] http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/20/wa...20control.html Non-issue. The pilots were responsible for verifying that they were on the correct runway. Ron Lee Incorrect. It is an issue. Fatigued controller working a double shift without proper rest combined with the FAA violating their own staffing orders at KLEX. It is a HUGE issue. The word is Liability. Look it up. How can you justify cutting controller staffing while you spend millions on Civil Rights empires in the FAA? You are on an IFR approach. You are bumping minimums low on fuel. Would you rather have the FAA spend money on.. 1. Air Traffic controllers and ILS technicians or... 2. Kissing the Black Ass boondoggles at a resort spa? I choose number 1. The FAA chooses number 2. It is an issue |
