Aircraft Dispatchers Revising Flights Could Cause Collisions
Five air traffic controllers have uncovered a problem that they claim could cause planes to be at risk of colliding or having accidents due to wake turbulence. The problem occurs when pilots, air traffic controllers, or airline dispatchers revise flight plans.
Letters that were sent to the White House and Congress by the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that protects whistle blowers, claims that the computers that aircraft dispatchers use do not automatically show when multiple flight plans have been filed.
This can result in an aircraft dispatcher clearing a flight for departure that is based on an outdated plan, and the pilot of the plane flying a route that was not anticipated or planned for by the aircraft controller. As a consequence, aircraft dispatchers have to review the flight plans, contact pilots, and then search through printouts that track a flight’s progress in order to compare prior plans with the new data being displayed on the computers.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the problem and has revived a working group established in 2012 to resolve the issue. An audit from the beginning of the year however, has shown that the group has had little impact and the problem remains.
Sheffield School of Aeronautics believes that the Detroit Metropolitan Airport whistle-blowers deserve deep gratitude, and while more work needs to be done, their actions have reignited effort to solve the problem.
