"content": "\u003cp>It might seem like everyone thinks their local airport is the worst of them all: the longest security lines, the worst food, the most delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we in the Bay Area have good reason to complain. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/\">Bureau of Transportation Statistics\u003c/a>, in 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/node/224131\">SFO was the third-most-delayed major airport in the U.S. in terms of arrivals\u003c/a>, with about 26 percent of arriving flights delayed. And that’s not unique to last year. Since 2010, SFO has consistently ranked in the top four of the most delayed airports, some years dipping as low as 69 percent of flights arriving on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what is it about SFO? It all boils down to three things: fog, runways and air traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Curse you, Karl!\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While San Francisco might not have blizzards or hurricanes, it turns out a little bit of fog can go a long way to hinder operations at SFO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a clear day, aircraft at SFO can land side by side, because the two pilots on each aircraft are able to look out the window, see each other and maintain separation,” says SFO spokesman Doug Yakel. “The problem is when it becomes foggy, and those two aircraft can no longer see one another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When pilots can’t visually maintain distance from other planes, they must rely on instruments. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aircraft must maintain a distance of 4,300 feet when landing side by side in periods of low visibility. However, the two runways primarily used for landings at SFO are only 750 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11772413\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11772413 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS3592_IMG_4264-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A scenic view of SFO.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scenic view of SFO. \u003ccite>(Molly Samuel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So when it’s too foggy, aircraft can’t land side by side at SFO anymore. Instead of landing 60 planes in 60 minutes, like SFO can do on a clear day, they can land about half that number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA also employs a\u003ca href=\"https://www.fly.faa.gov/Products/AIS_ORIGINAL/shortmessage.html\"> Ground Delay Program,\u003c/a> where flights destined for SFO are held at their originating airports until they are given clearance to take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think about metering lights going on to a bridge, for example, where you need to meter the traffic that’s going into that area, because there’s more demand than there is space,” says Yakel. “That’s essentially what happens in bad weather at SFO.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO’s runways were built so close together because they were constructed in the 1940s, when there was much less air traffic. As air travel has become more popular, the distance between runways has made weather more of a limiting factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Busiest in the Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The fog doesn’t delay planes at other local airports nearly as much. In 2018, San Jose International Airport’s (SJC) arrivals were 82 percent on time, while those at Oakland International Airport were 81 percent on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO is the seventh-busiest airport in the United States, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/airport-rankings-2018\">boarding almost 28 million passengers\u003c/a>. According to Yakel, two-thirds of the Bay Area’s air traffic goes through SFO, with OAK and SJC essentially splitting the remaining third.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If SFO had the same level of flight activity as [the Oakland or San Jose airports], weather probably won’t be as much of a factor,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Deal with Departures\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Yakel says fog doesn’t directly affect departures, its effect on arrivals does trickle down. At the very beginning of the day, all of the planes departing SFO have been kept there overnight. So even if it’s foggy, their departures shouldn’t be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the rest of the day, most departing planes depend on an arriving plane, so it can load up passengers and head to the next destination. If the arriving flight is delayed, perhaps by fog, then the departing flight will be delayed as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Improvements on the Horizon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakel says that SFO is working with the FAA to address the delays and they are already seeing improvements. On low-visibility days SFO could once land only 27 planes per hour. Recently they’ve gotten that number into the high 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Twenty years ago it would have taken additional runways,” he says. “In the years to come, technology is going to address this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA has been\u003ca href=\"https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/\"> overhauling the nation’s air transportation system\u003c/a> in an attempt to make air travel more efficient and precise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fun Facts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider doing carry-on when flying American Airlines.

And that’s not unique to last year. Since 2010, SFO has consistently ranked in the top four of the most delayed airports, some years dipping as low as 69 percent of flights arriving on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what is it about SFO?

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aircraft must maintain a distance of 4,300 feet when landing side by side in periods of low visibility. However, the two runways primarily used for landings at SFO are only 750 feet apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11772413\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11772413 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS3592_IMG_4264-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A scenic view of SFO.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scenic view of SFO. \u003ccite>(Molly Samuel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So when it’s too foggy, aircraft can’t land side by side at SFO anymore. Instead of landing 60 planes in 60 minutes, like SFO can do on a clear day, they can land about half that number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA also employs a\u003ca href=\"https://www.fly.faa.gov/Products/AIS_ORIGINAL/shortmessage.html\"> Ground Delay Program,\u003c/a> where flights destined for SFO are held at their originating airports until they are given clearance to take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think about metering lights going on to a bridge, for example, where you need to meter the traffic that’s going into that area, because there’s more demand than there is space,” says Yakel. “That’s essentially what happens in bad weather at SFO.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO’s runways were built so close together because they were constructed in the 1940s, when there was much less air traffic. As air travel has become more popular, the distance between runways has made weather more of a limiting factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Busiest in the Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The fog doesn’t delay planes at other local airports nearly as much. In 2018, San Jose International Airport’s (SJC) arrivals were 82 percent on time, while those at Oakland International Airport were 81 percent on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO is the seventh-busiest airport in the United States, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bts.gov/airport-rankings-2018\">boarding almost 28 million passengers\u003c/a>. According to Yakel, two-thirds of the Bay Area’s air traffic goes through SFO, with OAK and SJC essentially splitting the remaining third.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If SFO had the same level of flight activity as [the Oakland or San Jose airports], weather probably won’t be as much of a factor,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Deal with Departures\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Yakel says fog doesn’t directly affect departures, its effect on arrivals does trickle down. At the very beginning of the day, all of the planes departing SFO have been kept there overnight. So even if it’s foggy, their departures shouldn’t be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the rest of the day, most departing planes depend on an arriving plane, so it can load up passengers and head to the next destination. If the arriving flight is delayed, perhaps by fog, then the departing flight will be delayed as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Improvements on the Horizon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakel says that SFO is working with the FAA to address the delays and they are already seeing improvements. On low-visibility days SFO could once land only 27 planes per hour. Recently they’ve gotten that number into the high 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Twenty years ago it would have taken additional runways,” he says. “In the years to come, technology is going to address this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA has been\u003ca href=\"https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/\"> overhauling the nation’s air transportation system\u003c/a> in an attempt to make air travel more efficient and precise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fun Facts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider doing carry-on when flying American Airlines.

James Kisses and First Officer Matthew Dampier said they felt something was amiss during Flight 759’s final approach to the runway. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crewmen said the confusion grew in part out of uncertainty about the status of Runway 28L, one of the two closely spaced parallel runways commonly used for SFO arrivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Flight 759 crew had been advised 28L would be closed for construction and that they were to land on 28R. But as they descended a few minutes before midnight, they weren’t certain what to make of lights they could see on the ground\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the NTSB report on his initial interview, Capt.

"content": "\u003cp>Federal investigators say an Air Canada jet coming in for a landing in San Francisco in July came a lot closer than previously thought to hitting four other planes on a taxiway, in what aviation safety experts say could have been a horrible disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Transportation Safety Board says Air Canada flight No. 759 was just 59 feet above the ground at its lowest point, flying over a United Airlines jetliner waiting to take off, before the Air Canada plane pulled up, circled around and then landed safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators say both pilots on the Air Canada plane thought they were lined up to land on runway 28-Right at San Francisco International Airport on the night of July 7, and runway lights they saw to the left were from runway 28-Left. But 28L was closed and dark, its approach and runway lights turned off, except for a large, 20-foot wide, lighted flashing “X” placed at the threshold; and the normal runway lights they said they saw to their left were actually from runway 28R.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even though they were cleared to land on 28R, the plane wasn’t lined up to land on it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where’s this guy going?” exclaims another pilot on the ground in a radio call to the air traffic control tower. “He’s on the taxiway!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An air traffic controller tells the pilot of Air Canada 759 to go around and the pilot agrees to do so, when a United Airlines pilot chimes in, “United 1. Air Canada flew directly over us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controller responds, “Yeah, I saw that, guys.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Airlines plane, a Boeing 787, was the first plane waiting to take off after Air Canada’s landing, and the new NTSB report indicates the Air Canada plane, an Airbus A320, may have come within just a few dozen feet of colliding with the United jet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Boeing 787 is 55 feet tall at its highest point, the top of its vertical stabilizer. At its lowest point, Air Canada was 59 feet above the ground, though it gained some altitude before flying directly over the United 787.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Wednesday’s NTSB investigative update, “Both pilots said, in post-incident interviews, they believed the lighted runway on their left was 28L and that they were lined up for 28R. They also stated that they did not recall seeing aircraft on taxiway C but that something did not look right to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators have not yet determined why the pilots mistook the taxiway for the runway, but the report indicates the taxiway was lighted normally, with blue lights to distinguish it from white runway lights.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But 28L was closed and dark, its approach and runway lights turned off, except for a large, 20-foot wide, lighted flashing “X” placed at the threshold; and the normal runway lights they said they saw to their left were actually from runway 28R.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even though they were cleared to land on 28R, the plane wasn’t lined up to land on it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where’s this guy going?” exclaims another pilot on the ground in a radio call to the air traffic control tower. “He’s on the taxiway!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
