those track dots look to me like someone edited them in afterward
As long as we're discussing DCA, any one there this afternoon around 4pm with the Air Wisconsin emergency? I *heard* engine fire, they rolled the trucks, closed the airport for a while.
that wasnt even close, if i didnt have friends still working i could tell you about some really disturbing deals here in Chitown. we just dont go blabbering to the press about it like they do in DC. and thats not what a radar display looks like thats just a replay of the ARTS/STARS data.Big thumbs down for her waiting those critical seconds before she turned the arrival south, could have saved a deal if she was more on the ball.
Or said "I had both aircraft in sight", doesn't make it a pretty operation but definitely no deal.

I have Tuesdays offGreat Point about the visual seperation, forgot about that one ive been a scope dope too long. so were you the arrival or depature guy that day ? the problem i have with this is she waited 22 SECONDS after the arrival checked in before she took any action 22 SECONDS !!!! any of you controllers out there should know how critical time is and 22 seconds can be a life time at times
in her defense, the arrival's check in was pretty bad
As a pilot, when I hear your voices go up a bit, or hear the word "immediately" or "beep beep beep beep" in the background, I react more quickly than spinning the bug and pushing HDG.that may be but this is the time that they pay us the big bucks for, i can teach a monkey to use 1000' and 5. some day you may find your self in a situation where you only have a few seconds to act and you have to act right away no playing 20 question no trying to figure out what happened, that comes after you seperate the aircraft which is always our number 1 priority .
They lost an engine on the t/o roll, fire came out the back, smoke in cabin, it was the real deal.Per our out of service website, it says engine change for this aircraft so whatever happened was a legit emergency.
