ParaMan09 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 KLAX at 1300 so fairly busy. Delta is asking for a pushback but an arrival is also about to make it back to terminal. I decide to wait until he has parked before giving pushback approval for the departure. The issue is that I didn't realise that the departure plane's ass was covering the taxiway, which caused a collision with the arrival Delta. Obviously I had given no instructions the the departing plane as yet. Am I supposed to have known about that and let the arrival out first?

CL30 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yeah, that happens. I give a lot of "hold short of taxiway ___" commands to aircraft entering the ramp. Once I see them holding short, I check for conflicts and then clear them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaMan09 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yeah I should have been more vigilant, but there was so much going on I missed it. Oh well, the 500 point hit hurt though, was doing so well before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salad Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 You can be unlucky too when an aircraft spawns just as the arrival is taxiing in; DING! All part of the fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
