Washington .- The plane he was traveling in the U.S. first lady, Michelle Obama, a Boeing 737 from New York, has had to make an emergency landing at the base of Andrews (Washington) due to a driver error the air has been on the verge of hitting a military plane. The first lady returned to make a television appearance, among other acts, accompanied by Jill Biden, wife of vice, when a driver noticed that the track that had to land his plane was occupied by a military unit load, that would give him time to take off.
Then he ordered the presidential aircraft fleet to conduct a series of maneuvers to increase the distance between the two devices, but did not work, which indicated the pilot to continue flying around the airport, to buy time until the other leave the track. This type of load devices tend to create turbulence in other planes, if there is sufficient distance between them, about 5 miles (8 kilometers).
Hence, the driver tried to separate as possible to the two ships, as reported by sources of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to The Washington Post. "The driver tried many things to increase the gap before ordering spinning. It was really a bad technique. Not only managed to put together, but said they were further away than they really were, "the official said on condition of anonymity.
This is not the first incident of this nature." Things like this happen very often Unfortunately, in this case involved a presidential plane, "said another FAA workers. This same control tower directed annually more than 1.5 million flights. In 2010 a record number of errors committed by their drivers 21 more than in 2009, a total of 52, so that the National Transportation Safety Board decided to open an investigation.
In the last few weeks have found several flaws in the union of air traffic controllers. Six of them have been suspended for falling asleep and a seventh in a movie, whose sound broadcast across the radio frequency.
