THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
06-FEB-2024. A Japan Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner (B788), registration JA836J, performing flight JAL65 / JL65 from San Diego International Airport, CA (USA) to Tokyo Narita International Airport (Japan) was taxiing for departure and was instructed to taxi via taxiways B, B8 and hold short of the runway at taxiway B8. But for some reasons the flight crew entered the runway via taxiway B10 without clearance. Meanwhile there was an aircraft on final approach (Delta Air Lines Airbus A220-300 (BCS3), registration N301DU, flight DAL2287 / DL2287) The Tower air traffic controller instructed Delta 2287 to go around. The airplane went around from about 800 feet, distance from touchdown was about 0.54 NM (1 km).

THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.

Attention all air traffic controllers: when speaking with foreign carriers, slow the f down and stick to standard pilot-controller verbiage. It’s not only more effective, but just a kind gesture. It’s difficult enough operating in multiple foreign countries where controllers have heavy accents, but when you machine-gun clearances (that you’ve issued thousands of times), it creates confusion and radio congestion. Thank you… rant off.

My country at least has learned the lesson very well, especially after causing Überlingen which was a big disaster and scandal in our country. The US is not the world and it seems to me that ATC is degrading in quality over there. I live in Europe and in my country, ATC instructions are clear, concise and short. You have no issue understanding what they say and in the end, it makes a frequency calmer, less hectic and more easily observable. There is always the common excuse that US airports are busier which is total hogwash. It works in Londong Gatwick, London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and so on. So why doesn't it in the US? Controllers in the US are in my estimation too stupid to understand that "say again's" from pilots will use more time, not less. This "crulan" stuff is a basic failure in radio communication and not something to be admired for because it is cool to talk fast. Narcissism is on a steep rise in the US society and I think we can see narcissism having a negative effect on ATC discipline over there. In that sense, I don't see controllers over there doing the best possible job. I see them trying to be cool (narcissism) which will lead to an accident. Just a matter of time.

But I know the layout at San Diego and really can't fathom how any pilot would think they were cleared onto the opposite end of the runway to taxi all the way to C6 to cross to the other side. One proper briefing and look into the ground chart would have made it clear, that this can't be what ATC meant. And in case of confusion, they should have just asked.

Appears that JAL thought they were supposed to taxi on Bravo to enter the runway and back taxi on the runway, holding short of B9 (and then revised to B8) on the runway (based on the read back "hold short of B9" when it should have been "hold short of runway on B9"). The "expect a back taxi" phrase probably confused them. Not great all the way around. At end of day, controller said hold short of runway, readback was taxing on bravo to hold short B9 which does not suggest in that moment that they are planning to enter the runway.

But I would counter that most airlines today have Airport Moving Maps which display your GPS location on the airfield map. Entering a runway should be clearly visible to the crew. This is why I think they thought they were allowed to back taxi. The investigation and cockpit voice recorders (if retained) will show if the crew was discussing back taxi as they entered the runway -- of if they were completely unaware that they had done so. My airline uses Runway Awareness Advisory System (RAAS) which alerts when you approach a runway, either on the ground or in the air. Even so, with moving maps and RAAS, pilots still make mistakes and cross or land on the wrong runways. Thankfully aviation has a series of backups to prevent single modes of failure which can lead to disaster.

On the initial communication, the controller did not issue a runway number with the instruction “ hold short of the runway on bravo 9”, and the pilot never read back the hold short instructions, as he never understood that instruction.

Initial taxi instructions need to include the departing runway. This was not included. Controller also said 'back taxi 09'. It should have been 'back taxi 27, or 'taxi down 09'. Since they are landing 09 and departing on 27 these instructions need to be made very clear.

This wasn’t an ATC issue. San Diego is a very tight airport, and Taxi Bravo has a tonne of lines drawn on it from the Apron on one side and the runway exits entrances on the other. It is a high threat situation, and needs to be carefully briefed. ATC instructions were clear. Taxi on Bravo hold short of Bravo 8. JAL thought the Runway was Bravo, and entered. End of story. Everything after that was after the fact.

JAL obviously at fault but this controller needs to slow it down. Every instruction he gives he says it twice like everything is urgent. He’d save more time saying it slower just the one time.

How about this theory... JAL expected that taxiway B would be a segregated strip of pavement-- like it is on the east end of the airport --and didn't recognize that it was actually adjacent to the apron. Looking at Google, I see there are no signs or pavement markings between his gate and taxiway B10. To add to the foolishness, Delta got inconvenienced but there was never any danger, so it's pointless to go through the whole pilot deviation stupidity with JAL. They've got him sitting out there on taxiway J just so they can read him the phone number, burning fuel he might need on the other side of the Pacific. Do they really expect the pilot to call them on the phone when he gets to Tokyo?

Not defending the JAL crew, but it looks like they got thrown off-kilter by reverse ops, which does not happen that often in San Diego. The problem sounds like they must have been planning on JAL to be the first plane out after resuming normal ops, or they would have just had him taxi all the way down Bravo to the departure end of runway 27. What probably threw the JAL pilot is he had probably already been given Runway 27 for departure and for him to back taxi confused him when he could have had a straight shot all the way down Bravo. Seems like the instructions they ended up giving him was the scenic route of the airport.

It looks like after Delta landed they were going to resume Runway 27 as the active runway. You sound like you know San Diego airport, so I ask you this. If they knew JAL was going to take off on 27 why did they not have him taxi straight down Bravo instead of the back taxi and scenic route instructions? They said possible pilot deviation. If I were that pilot I would have mentioned ATC deviation when they could have given me a direct route down Bravo.

@markw1123 4 ай бұрын

Bravo taxiway is actually part of the ramp area. If an aircraft is pushing back from a gate there isn’t enough room to get by so taxiing down the runway is sometimes a better option other than waiting. I think this is ultimately what caused the incursion. Taxiways are often separated from the ramp by grassy areas so it’s very clear where the taxiway starts. The crew turned onto the runway thinking it was a taxiway because that is the first paved area separated from the ramp.

I've seen a photo of the position where the JAL started to taxi, and taxiway A and B are parallel and right next to each other. The pilot read back instructions fine knowing he needed to be on B, so he probably thought the path leading to the runway was taxiway B. Where he proceeded to is actually a and told to hold position is a tiled area just prior to the runway and is the same surface as the taxiway (but would still obstruct any approaching planes). This also makes sense as to why he would not immediately recognise it as a runway, doesn't take a native English speaker or even a half competent pilot to spot a runway, but he probably wasn't on the runway immediately. The rapidfire English must be an issue for some foreign pilots (it's actually a bit slower than the JFK machinegun instructions in this vid, but still must be very difficult for L2 speakers). But the problem might lie in a misunderstanding of the layout and not language
