tnt and aa at Brussels Airport ?

[ups 747]

hi folks

did anyone of you saw an almost crash ,or how do you call that when 2 planes are almost at the same time at the same runway, at brussels airport about the time of 0825 this morning with a tnt cargo and an incoming AA on 02 right????????????????

[sdbelgium]

on 02 right

There is only on RWY02. The others are 25L/7R and vice versa...

[JM]

very short separation, can happen, not a first time, especially on 02... ( 02 Right doesn't exist though ) Or weren't they on 07L and R today ?

Grtz,
JM

Just a normal go around procedure. Far from a crash, nothing to worry about

Indeed, saw the AA going around (on 07L). Nice to see and hear, but I doubt the pax think the same

I saw a similar 'incident' with a landing TNT B737 and the El Al 767 a few weeks ago. The LY proceeded on the runway while the TNT was landing, although no gears down so imagine the distance. The TNT pulled up again and turned over Brucargo and did a go-around.

Although this is far from an accident, it is not normal of course. Whose 'fault' is it? I suppose the tower since no aircraft (in this case the LY) would proceed to the runway without clearance and the landing clearance for the other plane (in this case TNT) is given already long before. So I assume it is a flaw from the tower?

A major disaster is just a matter of time at BRU.

It is quite unbelievable how often take-off and landing directions and procedures change.
change.
All this thanks to the incompetence of our politicians.

We can be happy that only Airlines with good safety records,high standards and good pilots ..fly to BRU.

The human factor is very important, even in a highly automated business as aviation.
And humans make mistakes.

Most accidents (train, road,..) are due a combination of conditions: confusion, wheather, rush, hustle...and human weaknesses.

The incidents mentioned here are very serious.

Any pilot's comment ??

Hi JOVAN,

I hope you are wrong that accidents will happen in BRU.
What you say about changing runways is correct and I hope the finally decide to use runways the safest way and not the way they can win most votes at the elections.
If more airlines would come to BRU (economical growth or now SN joines Star) it becomes more and more urgent.

I have no clue how many go arounds there are elsewhere, e.g. LHR or FRA.
