ICAO is highlighting the serious Airbus A320 taxiway overflight at San Francisco as an illustration of the safety risks associated with overloading pilots with NOTAMs, as the organisation initiates an effort to reduce the quantity of unnecessary information.
The Air Canada jet’s crew, intending to land on runway 28R at night in July 2017, inadvertently lined up with the parallel taxiway C which was occupied by four aircraft – only executing a go-around at 100ft after overflying the first of them.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators found the pilots misidentified the taxiway because they had not recalled the closure of runway 27L contained in a NOTAM.
