Ground collisions at airports spark safety concerns
Washington AP reports rising worry over on ground incidents at major airports and the clash of large jets with small planes. A Tampa taxiway crash involving a Piper Aztec and a Pan Am 727 amid dense fog killed the private pilot William Bain. NTSB findings show 17 controller oversights and 9 pilot errors across 26 incidents, urging tighter ATC alertness and better coordination. FAA plans post Cerritos include nav gear upgrades and pilot education while FAA chief Engen defends pilots’ right to fly near busy airports.
