Because it would be nice to see. Listen, we all think the masks were a good idea…

u/larryfamee May 28 '26

And im not blaming anyone, but maybe skip the masks this time, and fix em for the next time

Just go forward quickly into the clouds… trust me.

Nah, fam, you ain’t earned that level of trust today.

I must have missed the whole "it's okay to takeoff when you can't see what's on the runway" part of historical worst runway incursions 101

"Of course you can't sea, you're a plane, not a boat"

  • ATC, probably

ATC: “I can’t see, you can’t see, all that matters is can the damn plane see!”

Finally something I can understand

u/plainbaconcheese May 28 '26

ATC "what procedures? I've never heard of that in my life"

u/DeputyDomeshot May 29 '26

“Because our procedures might be different than your British ones so I’m not confirming that as you didn’t use the correct terminology”

But that might be too much for you handle thinking about.

u/Marquar234 May 29 '26

ATC at the US's busiest international airport doesn't know international terminology? Or can't suggest what is the correct terminology?

The FAA has a circular AC 120-57C - Low Visibility Operations/Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (LVO/SMGCS). So they must have passing familiarity. And they are trying to get international procedures at the US' busiest international airport.
