Re: Planespotting II
Glad that everyone was ok - although this seems like a somewhat predictable event if you have multiple aircraft approaching on parallel runways with one side making a turn on to short final - overshoot the turn and you end up with a collision.
They were luckily that they were on the equipment that they were, and it was fitted with CAPS.
That Metroliner is a hull loss for sure.

Re: Planespotting II
One of those situations where it might have also benefitted the pilot not knowing what had happened, the cargo aircraft anyhow that landed, listening to the communications, he genuinely doesn't seem to realize what actually had happened.

Indeed, they audibly suggest a right engine failure.

Re: Planespotting II
It totally amazes me there is no comment from the controller. He doesn’t see the collision, he doesn’t either see, or mention the damage to the metroliner. ATC really is on a completely different level over here compared to the UK, and not in a good way.
And in fact I’ve just watched the video again, and I think someone made the comment earlier about aircraft turning into final with another inbound on a parallel runway. That is absolutely the case and again backs up the shocking sequencing here. Centennial has a similar set up to us, main and GA runway. The runways are much closer together than what you would expect to see at a commercial hub. I’m not a controller, but I’m certain that here the SR22 would have been instructed to extend his downwind. That really was an accident waiting to happen.

FAA is spanking Envoy Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airline d/b/a American Eagle.
"consistent evidence showing potential lack of airmanship," unsafe and poor piloting by multiple Envoy Air flight crews over the past two years"

Looks like the FAA is going to downgrade Mexico air safety rating to category 2. FAA did the same in 2010 for about 4 months.
If Mexico is downgraded, Mexican carriers will be permitted to maintain existing service, but will be unable to add new service to the US, and codeshares with US carriers would be restricted.

Re: Planespotting II
People are getting nasty on flights, over the weekend a Southwest flight attendant lost 2 teeth due to a passenger assault. Between April 8 and May 15 Southwest had 477 passenger misconduct incidents.
In a typical year the FAA averages 100-150 formal cases of passenger misconducted being reported to them, so far this year, 2,500 have been reported, most 1,900 were passengers refusing to comply with mask mandates.
