Another close call (Go-around required)

[Daleandee]

A UPS cargo jet aborted its landing Tuesday at a Kentucky airport to avoid another aircraft on the runway, according to reports about a close call at the same airport where a deadly crash occurred months earlier.

Sigh.

I always like news stories about runway incidents or crashes that add reports about another incident that occurred in the past. They get extra points for research that ties in the subject airport or the same make and model.

In addition to their recap of the earlier UPS MD-11 crash, the linked Fox News story gets extra credit for including this in their reporting of the aborted landing:

In a separate incident Thursday near Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, a small propeller plane landed in a field. Both people aboard were uninjured, according to WKYT.

For those that want to research this event further:
Event time/date: 00:07L/04:07Z on 4/14
Location: KSDF runway 17L
UPS1303 B767 N338UP
SKQ25 PC-12 N667RB

From ADS-B data, appears UPS1303 had a minimum go-around altitude of 580 MSL (450 baro). TDZE for 17L is 501.

From LIveATC audio, SKQ25 was supposed to depart on 17L prior to 1303 arrival but apparently was not ready. ATC twice directed SKQ25 to hold short 17L at E. Instead, SKQ25 inexplicably entered 17L, eliciting the “what are you doing?” and “Stop!” from ATC. 1303 was directed to go around. English was not SKQ25’s primary language. SKQ25 departed 17L from D and was told to contact someone upon landing so I assume a PPD was issued.

I was once bitten by a penguin, five seconds after a zookeeper said they don't bite.

“No, my penguin doesn’t bite.”

“OWW!!”

“That’s not my penguin.”

I got bumped out of the pattern once by an airplane on a straight in approach. Even though I was already in the pattern and had stated my intentions and was lower than he was, it didn't look like he was going to back off so I chose to exit the pattern and give him room. Did I complain? No. Did it ruin my day? No. Was this reported on the news? No. This is just as newsworthy as those other stories NOT!!
None of those stories should be on the news. Reporters never get it right. If their lips are moving they are lying about something!
