Jason: Hey, MZeroA Nation, Jason here.
Day 21, and we're talking about almost landing on a taxiway.
No Harrison Ford jokes, please.
Really nice dude.
It's just unnecessary.
Don't even go there.
It's too easy to do, right?
We're not talking about Harrison Ford.
We're talking about air Canada.
And, we had the MZeroA.com team of graphic designers and animators
worked very hard to recreate an animation for you that happened,
where Air Canada almost landed on a very active taxiway at night.
Let's go ahead, and let's show that animation.
Air Canada 759: And, tower, just want to confirm.
This is Air Canada 759.
And, I can see lights on the runway there.
Can you confirm we're clear to land?
Controller: Air Canada 759, confirmed.
Cleared to land on Runway 28-Right.
There is no one on 28-Right but you.
Air Canada 759: Okay, Air Canada 759.
Radio: Where's this guy going?
He's on the taxiway.
Controller: Air Canada, go around.
Air Canada 759: In the go-around, Air Canada 759.
Controller: Air Canada 759,
looks like you were lined up for Charlie there,
climbing 280 [unin] 3,000.
United Airlines 1: This is United 1.
Air Canada flew directly over us.
Controller: Yeah, I saw that, guys.
Jason: I share all this to demonstrate one important thing:
even the professionals make mistakes.
Hey, show hands.
Let me know in the chat if this was you.
Who's ever been flying to an airport and the runways are 18, 36, and you go,
"Is that in N18?"
Or, "Is that N18?"
I've done it.
We spent a lot of time in South Florida,
and I'll operate out of the Lantana Airport, which is a triangle.
It's got three runways in the shape of a triangle.
Here I am, 10,000 hours later, in and out of Lantana,
a lot of flying down, Palm Beach approaches is in your ear.
Everything else is happening. Lantana is always a zoo.
It's always windy.
And, I'm looking, going, "Okay, that one is which one?"
It just gets confusing, sometimes.
Even professionals make mistakes.
Here's Air Canada that Was lined up for the taxiway,
rather than lined up for the runway.
At night, taxiway lights are blue.
How could they do that?
Even the professionals make mistakes.
We're all prone to them.
Use this as a lesson to realize that we must all slow down
and fly the airplane.
You have to leave your personal issues at home.
You have to leave your work issues at work.
You have to leave everything.
When you enter into the cockpit,
that is your one and only focus, is the safety of that flight.
Code of Federal Regulations 913 is pilot-in-command responsibility.
It says you have the final authority as the safety of this flight.
That's a lot of pressure.
That's a lot of responsibility.
Take it seriously.
Obviously, you made it this far in the 31 Day Safer Pilot Challenge.
I have no doubt, you are so serious about this.
Hope you've pre-ordered your copy of "Aviation Mastery," the book, already.
AviationMastery.com, if you're a customer of ours,
you're probably already in our new Learning Management System
with new courses.
We are blessed.
We are blessed because of you all.
We're blessed because you are a blessing to us.
So, thank you, MZeroA Nation, MZeroA family.
If there is anything we can do to help make you a safer, smarter pilot,
please, please, please, don't hesitate to reach out.
Have an amazing, wonderful rest of your day.
And most importantly, remember,
that a good pilot is always learning.
Have a great day, everyone. I'll see you.
