INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Last Wednesday, in a brazenly callous move, the Federal Aviation Administration supervisor at the Flying Cloud Airport control tower turned his back on runway operations during an on-the-job training exercise to take a call on his cell phone and missed his trainee mistakenly clear an airport vehicle to cross the runway in front of a departing aircraft.
- Due to the lack of supervision, the trainee/manager permitted an airport vehicle to cross an active runway in front of a general aviation aircraft departing on the same runway just 2,600 feet away.
- During that training session the supervisor turned his back on the trainee and active ground control operations to take a phone call.
