Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[LBAYORKIE]

The runway has to be clear before final landing clearance can be given.

Unless you are cleared to land after or you are landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle where they often clear you to land with aircraft still on the runway.

Oddly enough, my neighbour was on the Jet2 to Kefalonia - the one on the runway. It may have been a matter of getting away to meet its slot. The KLM may also have been told to continue approach with one on (the runway) and expect a late clearance to land. I have heard this many times on the radio (and seen it) when up there taking photos. There is of course the risk that if the aircraft on the runway doesn't depart immediately, the KLM would have to abort and go around. I have seen this happen too. Ultimately I am sure it is a matter of judgement for the ATC provided both the aircraft crews are fully aware of the situation.

Some years ago I saw this sort of thing happen at NCL where a departing aircraft had been given clearance to enter the runway for take off and an arriving aircraft had been given clearance to continue his approach, presumably with the proviso that final clearance to land would only be given once the departing aircraft had got away.

In the event the departing aircraft was too slow and the arriving aircraft, who was virtually about to touch down, was told to go around at the very last minute. From the terminal it all looked very hairy but I'm sure it was all very controlled and 'just one of those things' that happen when the controller was trying to keep everyone happy and things moving.

If the KLM had made its own decision to abort (is this possible) would the Jet2 have had to abort take off even if started its roll out.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Klm could have decided to overshoot, its the captains perogative. The Jet would have taken off as normal.
