we have airplanes coming out of the terminal both directions all the time. there are multiple different runways aligned with one another. i feel like it becomes each more precarious at an airport that has crisscrossing runways. when things make the news like runway incursions and you have to be almost extra vigilant as you re flying. runway environment at an airport like this especially you have to be extra vigilant absolutely. everybody s got their head on a swivel now. we are taxiing to take off from a different runway at d dulles. air traffic control tells us to take off with the flight approaching those runways to the south. 262, takeoff. cleared for takeoff. runway 30 is on the pavement and on our heading indicator. double check. power to come up. power to 20 and roll it.
i ve been cleared for the approach. now i ve been cleared to land. come down. there you go. it s lower than you think. we are rolling. we have yankee 6 coming up here. yankee 6 is the taxiway we ll use to exit the runway. turning exactly where controllers tell you to go on the ground is just as important as commands given in the air. turn right at yankee 6 or yankee 7. contact ground 262. bill points out how he s using an ipad app to track where we are on the airport grounds. how important is being aware of where you are on the airport especially at a busy airport like dulles? that s absolutely critical. look where we are right here.
like this, you have to be extra vigilant. with what we ve seen lately, i think everybody has their head on a swivel right now. we re taxiing to take off at dulles which crosses in front of the northbound runways we just use to land. air traffic control tells us to take off with the flight approaching those runways from the south. 262. flight runway heading on takeoff. clear for takeoff 30. here we go, runway 30 is on the pavement and 30 is is on our heading indicator. that s a double check. come up. 20 and rolling. you want to go quick for that guy that s going to the center. my normal flying is typically from a smaller country airport. it s not as busy, and there is no air traffic control tower. what s clear from this demonstration is that the nature of these incidents has not changed but they have put a new spotlight on safety. i think dealing with the problems, that s what we do in
airports nationwide. even new radar that can track planes and other vehicles on the ground. we are navigating to a landing at dulles international airport, one of the d.c. area s busiest with four runways. three of them are parallel to each other. even though we re landing in clear weather, bill dialed in a radio beacon to point us at the proper runway. i m approaching the airport here, in the interest of time we edited out some of the turns from air traffic control to line us one with the runway. airport in sight. 262, 040 clip. i have been cleared for the approach. contact double star 34.42. over to tower. and now i ve been cleared to land. let it come down. let it come down. there you go. nice. that s the picture. see, it is lower than you think. it really is, right? we re rolling.
