Emirates B777-31H (ER) A6-EGZ msn 41081 arrived into Perth at 17.49hrs after earlier doing a go-around as a Singapore Airlines B777-212 (ER) 9V-SRP msn 33369 had encroached onto the runway & as a consequence the Emirates B77W decided to perform a go-around, the aircraft landing safely on her second attempt. Hexcode: 89621B
Did the Air Traffic Controller give permission fo Singapore Airways to enter Runway 03, & even if he did, did the Captain & or Co-Pilot not look at the approach of EK-420 about to land or hear the Radio Conversationon> Both aircraft would have been on the same Radio CHANNELL, & IT IS GOOD AIRMANSHIP, FOR A PILOT BEFORE ENTERING OR CROSSING AN active RUNWAY, TO LOOK BEFORE ENTERING?
ReplyDeleteThe landing aircraft has priority to land over the Singapore Airlines, & the ability of the Captain & Co- Pilot of Singapore Airlines is questionable. This would surely result in an Incident report by the EK-420 Captain, & if so, what action will be taken by the Perth Airport authorities or Department of Transport WA? Well done Captain of EK-420 for avoiding a possible disaster, with so many lives at stake.
