WABC-TV Ch 7 in New York - Investigative Report Unsafe Landings at Newark Airport

Aviation Workers of America — Tue, 01 May 2007 14:42:56 GMT

This story ran April 30, 2007 on WABC in New York.

It involves an unsafe landing procedure that happens everyday at Newark Airport in New Jersey. The controllers at Newark have been trying to get the FAA to fix the procedure for over 2 years and have been continuously stonewalled. FAA does not want to acknowledge the 3 near collisions that have occurred in the last 22 months while running this procedure. The controller's union finally went to the media and this is the result. This procedure closely mimics the controversial procedure at Memphis Int'l Airport that made the front page of USA Today.
