It just keeps happening.

If I tried to do that the machine would be yelling at me "not a runway" as soon as the ground speed goes over 35 knots or the power levers get pushed up more than 45 degs.

I haven't seen the system available for a 737. Airbus have it.

How does it know?

But you can't compare a machine built / designed in the 50's and 60's with one designed in the 90's or later.

Hell the 737 doesn't even have overwing exit slides....

Disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about aviation.

That little photo caption at the end implies that this happened because a private jet cut the plane off. It felt shoehorned in there; it’s not addressed in the body of the article. Is Fox diminishing that fact?

Huh: Southwest 737 Tries To Take Off From Taxiway In Orlando

A Southwest Boeing 737 attempted to take off from a taxiway at Orlando Airport (MCO). The circumstances here are truly strange.

I didn’t see a single mention about the plane getting cut off, in my brief read.

It gets a feed from the GPS and ECAS. It gets upset when your GPS jammed.

Proper Airbus is 1980's but has a common databus for system data and position.

I think it was developed around 2005.

They added two incidents into the same report. The other was a runway incursion at Chicago

Apparently supposed to ne 17R and ended up on the taxiway immediately to the right (H) with the next one was G.

Now how they missed the large stop lines is unclear, or the white stripes or all the rubber.... It is a big airport in all fairness

Agree Fox cramnmed two recent events into one article.

Lack of "Spatial Awareness" again

Sounds like a couple of pilots are going to get furloughed

Air Canada 759 nearly caused the deadliest airplane accident in history when it attempted to land on a fully occupied taxiway. I don't know that there were any repercussions for the pilots.

Interesting about Air Canada. Although in 2017, you would think the Airbus A330-211 would have had all kinds of warnings going off prior to 59' AGL go-around?

59 feet above ground. They were only 15 feet above the aircraft on the ground. There were 4 planes loaded with passengers on the taxiway if I remember correctly. It didn't even get reported initially. Something is really off about that story.

 

[Garbage1]

I wonder what it was like to be in the jets on 'taxiway' when full throttle turbojet/fan dumping it all towards the sheet metal roof about 15' above your head?

 

[LittleInch]

It was 15 ft above the tail but even so pretty close. Pilot fatigue was a major issue.
