I remember, quite a few years ago being on Lima, holding short of 20R, between the runways, waiting for a small private twin to land on 20R. So, we're chatting about something and I'm looking for the twin on final, and when I see him, I notice that his gear is not down. I mentioned this to my FO and made a dumb remark like, "I wonder if he's going to throw the gear out in the flare like the Space Shuttle used to do." Well, as he passes in front of us, maybe 50' above the runway, my FO gets on the radio and says, "twin engine aircraft over the numbers of 20R, GO AROUND, your gear is not down!" So, the guy, sounding like an elderly gentleman, says he's going around. Shortly after, he keys his mike again and thanks us for noticing and directing the go around. Be careful out there and fly safe.

He was clueless of what he did even when he was on the ground? Not buying it. For his own safety, and ours. In his golf course accident, did u know he had, "...dislocated his ankle, broke his back, shattered his pelvis, a concussion, large laceration across his forehead and retroamnesia for FIVE DAYS after the accident" (his own words here). His responses are slow to questioning yrs. later in interviews and his demeanor now is agitated without provocation, etc., etc. Brain trauma, PTSD are parting gifts from his adventures w/o question. Did u know a "compromised" brain during this emergency causes the brain to be triggered again into trauma, possibly explaining his semi-drunken sounding/confused voice. We all love him and Calista doesnt deserve to be a widow this way. Fly safe everyone.

They specifically said that he isn't a mere weekend pilot like many other celebrities. So yeah this was a serious error but not worth revoking his license for in the greater scheme. And while he should have gone around after seeing a plane on where he believed his runway to be, he had full awareness of it, so the risk was much lower than the news made people believe.

I would not care to judge Mr. Ford harshly. Two accidents and one incident over many years flying is not far off the mark considering the type of flying involved. His heli crash during training is not unusual. Gliding a helicopter (autorotation) is a difficult skill to learn and maintain. I’ve personally seen a number of helicopters damaged or written off this way with fully qualified instructors at the controls. Kodos to Mr Ford for simply admitting “I broke it”. The golf course crash was an engine failure. No pilot error there. Finally, the taxiway landing; not dangerous, just embarrassing. Terribly embarrassing. I feel for the guy. I’m pilot, mechanic, flight instructor and maintenance professor. Helicopters and airplanes. Five forced landings, no crashes, no violations, no fines. Have I made mistakes over the years? Yup. I just didn’t end up on KZfaq.

Robnord1 - Yeah Buddy!! I chose life as well just like you and Sid on "Ice Age" for same reason you stated PLUS found you could do everything right piloting even a Cessna 150 & end up very dead! In '74 passed ground school & on 4th lesson took off VFR from Ypsilanti in late fall. Flew around per instructions & winter storm just moving in so back to airport, approached runway, at 30ft saw white blur to left, left wing thrown up 90 degrees to runway! Lost airspeed too so whipped wheel to left, full power, full rich, prayed to God, dropped out of air, & bounced on right wheel. Had over-corrected, gave it right wheel, bounced on wrong wheel, got it centered, bounced on both wheels, and then finally lit in raging snowstorm stopping ASAP! Instructor KO'd from slamming rt window, we were advised Ford parts heavy right behind us, so as now blind, the controller directed trip to Air Service apron from tower. Instructor still out & his blood all over from splitting head open. Plane undamaged except needing cleanup in aisle 2 as Instructor had also pissed pants. We got him patched up & Mechanic loaned him coveralls. Our presence requested in tower & we thought they'd be PO'd, but that was not the case. Pilots from following cargo plane already there w/Capt exclaiming "Wow...that's the best worst landing I've ever seen"!! Senior Air Controller that had guided us to Air Service explained what we hit was huge snow devil or small snow tornado throwing wing up, that had formed and blew across runway just as lucky us set to touch down. We had to fill out paperwork for near miss or some such incident with all putting down what we knew about it. Instructor wrote weather quick changing VFR to IFR so immediate return with student still at controls, almost down, then woke up in Air Service Office with big guy holding me down for lady EMT stitching rt side of head back together, what the hell happened?? Senior Controller who had just happened to witness it wrote best possible outcome as "Cartwheeling, massive double fatality crash closing my runway"!! Other than cleaning up the Air Service's plane I ABANDONED LEARNING TO FLY! After Wawa, Ontario deal next year in a Beaver settling to land on lake socked in by fog, from rt seat I yelled "MOUNTAIN" and pointed (almost) dead ahead we were already there! Pilot pulled column back, full throttle, full rich, shouted full flaps which I provided, and plane struggled straight up. Have you ever seen a mountain's sheer vertical rock face right tight to your pontoons?? Pilot used last of airspeed for a 180 & down the rock face we went, then the wooded section w/frickin' treetop we couldn't miss, so right between the pontoons we trimmed it soaring back up into the relative safety of the fog bank. Under the circumstances, my Buddy and me offered free in/out service whenever we wanted to come back fishin'!! We never went back as had both chose life, JUST LIKE YOU!!!

In the simulator, I almost landed on the 'wrong' runway (Taxiway C) at KSNA just like Harrison Ford because those 2 asphalt islands on the left side of taxiway C from a distance look like the dominant black 'lane' and resemble the runway on the left side. And once you fixate on THAT being the runway, you're mind disregards visuals cues for the actual runway like the chevrons and "20L" for the actual runway. Plus when Han Solo was lining up on Taxiway C, the American 738 wasn't blocking the taxiway at that time and was still slowly lurking along L. It was only once Ford was committed to landing did the 738 taxi underneath his glideslope, and it looked like Ford took minor evasive action by landing high and long, which is why he inquired about the airliner after he landed. So definitely some mitigating factors in Ford's favor on this one.

JohnnyCacao It can mean a few things, but often it means that the controller believes you make a mistake. They would usually tell you this by saying “possible pilot deviation, call the tower”. What happens after that depends on what you did and how pissed off the controller is. If you are lucky, maybe they will just give you a friendly reminder. If it’s more serious, then they would collect information and file a report with the FSDO (local FAA safety office). if that happens, most cases you would get an official warning or they might require you to take remedial training. If you did something reckless they could suspend or revoke your certificate. Usually that would be for very serious infractions or if you have a previous record of infractions. But sometimes they just want to clarify something. Maybe there was a misunderstanding or a disagreement they want to discuss. Or really anything else they want to talk about without tying up the radio frequency. Maybe they had problems reading your transponder or they just wanted to apologize for inconveniencing you because they were dealing with another situation.

True, but when you see a commercial airliner perpendicular to what you think is the runway, you can always wave off, go around and confirm with the tower that you are on the correct approach. It's not like he was landing on a grass field somewhere. . .

From this recording, it seems like all parties involved were incredibly professional. You could tell that Mr. Ford owned the error from the get go; that goes a long way in my book.

@samualwhittemore2286 жыл бұрын
Jake Jones He had a choice. Almost any Hollywood narcissist would have blamed ATC or the airliner. It shows that he is attempting to be responsible --- especially so given his notoriety. He even subtle expressed that during the ATC communication exchange with ---> "It's a big deal to me" . If it was not a big deal we wouldn't even be watching this video.

at a busier multirunway airport this could have been a HUGE deal. Im a fan and the way he handled it was awesome. But if he continues to fly he needs to stay away from busy airspace and frankly... airports
@john.john.johnny5 жыл бұрын
As the man said what else was his choice but to say the obvious? .. And very importantly you should know that we are not judged on what we do off airport.. who cares that most actors would blah blah blah.. he's a pilot.. be judged as a pilot.. what's wrong with you? Low expectations for actors you have and me too but don't be a douche claiming that in this case he was stand up.. Nothing says he wasn't either but no need for unneeded praise.. I like Harrison but your comment is more dangerous than his mess up. Good day

SNA Tower: that’s affirmative sir, and say parking? N89HU: (long pause) I’m going to signature east. SNA Tower: continue on Charlie and then hold short of Hotel.

Ya know, one of the really good take-aways from listening to this is to hear how reasonable, polite, conscientious, thorough the controllers and others within the FAA were in addressing this, both to the Husky pilot and to the airliner pilot that called in later. Yes, they work for the government, yes, they know their job and do it well, and yes, they can be reasonable, polite, understanding. In short, government workers are actual people. Great people.

There is an airfield next to my hometown for which the landing runway is grass but the taxiway is paved. It is needless to say that quite many people have landed on the taxiway. (check for "Vienne Reventin", LFHH in France ). The history for it, is that the taxiway used to be the runway a while ago. However some companies claimed some land next to the runway so the had to move it to the field next to it... And the old runway turned into a taxiway.
