Denny wrote: Yes, the controller errored in not following procedure on the altitude snitch alarm (it's there for more than just dinging us pilots for busting an altitude), but interestingly we have no information about why the other airplane did not question who else answered to his tail number... snip Simple, the abbreviated callsign used by the controller was the correct one for both airplanes (four papa alpha). How would either airplane know which one the controller was talking to. In the accident pilot's defense, he did read back with his full callsign and the controller missed that as well. I'd say the controller had some responsibilty in this one. As for the Jacksonville crash, I've read the NTSB report on that one and I agree with the OP. It was a money grab. The pilot lost it on missed approach at 1,000 ft. supposedly it was caused by the tower controllers giving the pilot an altimeter setting that was .03" Hg off. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)
