Low fuel emergency in DFW

(in article ): I'm not saying that ATC didn't have a problem, but by the same token, it is also unacceptable for the pilot to continue to his destination after he declared an emergency to avoid the delays and hassles of diverting to a closer airport. Mike Schumann He already had an emergency. He had just left DFW and still had the charts out for it. Maybe landing at a less familiar field without adequate preparation was too big a risk in his opinion. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

He was headed to DFW from Tulsa.

In this case the pilot would need to tell ATC "unable" on the other two runways and tell them the straight-in to 17 is required. Danny Deger
