Marco Manieri 0 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Really a minor thing but... incoming traffic should not be given landing clearance until previous traffic (incoming or outgoing) has vacated the runway. This is currently ignored by GATC (unless there's a collision!). Might be worth considering a penalty (or maybe just the command is ignored) for these situations? I found myself cheating on this...

RobsonM 94 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Lol. So stop cheating! You are THE ATC so you can give whatever command you want. If you mean that aircraft will land anyway then I'll look into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewings 3 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 In the US landing clearances are allowed if the preceding traffic is anticipated to be clear of the runway by the time the succeeding aircraft arrives.

RobsonM 94 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes but this is controllers duty to stick to that rules not softwares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 And in Singapore there are even two aircraft allowed to be on the same runway as long as the first one has passed the middle runway marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Coenen 9 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Many countries, many different rules. Glad GATC isn't sticking to one set of rules. The only thing is a plane lining up crashing into a plane waiting for departure on the runway. As speeds are about 10kts, this shouldn't happen in reality even when such command shouldn't be given by ATC. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
