Siden dette skjedde ved den flyplassen jeg gikk på flyskole som før het Williams AFB, tar jeg den med her. Falcon Field er også nevnt. Der sto det en del fly fra 2. verdsnskrig, og det er per i dag en avdeling for Commemorate Air Force der. Der henger et norsk flagg også. Hvorfor? Sjekk innlegg her den 29. okt. 2011. (Red.)
Controller
Orders 172 Pilot To Land For Being ‘Risk To Aviation Safety’
By
February 19, 2024
A controller at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway
Airport in Arizona ordered a pilot to land and then grounded her after she
appeared to be confused and disoriented while flying in the immediate area of
the airport. The Cessna 172 pilot, who said she had a private pilot
certificate, appeared to not comply correctly with the controller’s
instructions as other aircraft landed and took off at the airport. At one point
she asked to “go back to Falcon Airport” about 15 miles away but the controller
had had enough. “I’m going to make you land here at Gateway,” he said and after
she’d exited the runway he told her “You’ve proven yourself a risk to aviation
safety at this time.” He then told her she was to go to the FBO to get an
instructor presumably to fly her back to Falcon Field Airport.
However, the ground controller had trouble getting her
to follow his instructions to the FBO and had to tell her which way to turn at
every intersection. “The FBO is to your left where the BP gas sign is,” he
finally says. The aircraft is registered to an LLC in Yorba Linda, California.

I was @ kffz this morning when that
pilot was cleared for right close traffic for 4R. A few minutes later I heard
the tower tell her she was going the wrong way and she needs to go to right
close traffic. It didn’t happen so tower told her to go to 3000 and cross
midfield to be able to go to right close traffic for 4R. She didn’t sound like
she was an English speaker so she didn’t understand what was being said. I
can’t believe a CFI let them fly alone.

‘Commercial pressure’ in flight schools
can lead to this. I have seen students who just went off the runway due to
being unable to adequately maintain directional control (with an instructor on
board) be sent solo immediately after. This from a major flight-training
provider.
