JFK ATC: CONFUSING CALL SIGNS! 

Not a pilot, but sounds like 5424 was about to land on the same runway after them taking off, so seems reasonable to ward off the potential collision.

@@AySz88 That shouldn't really be an emergency. That's normal for a rejected takeoff.

Maybe yhey could have made it a pan pan pan for a blown tire so any plsnez coming in to land could either get down wuivk​@AySz88 quick and clear runway ir fo a ho round and let him land I guess when uouve got o ne tire less on landing it can ho wrong

I perfectly understand blocked conversations, but there is no point typing it twice. And sometimes you can't do copy/paste because they add something to it, so I have to check it again. 🙂

That's one layer of swiss cheese. Wonder how many more there are just waiting to be found.

Yeah, yeah. The euros whine about that constantly, but the system works fine, as it did here.

@@CiaranMaxwell In what way is this a layer in that overused model?

Thats not how American ATC/NAS system works. At complex airports such as JFK or any of the other "major" airports as you would call it require controllers to be a starter facility first which is low level traffic and then they transfer into these facilitys with experience. JFK as it happens has a system called ASDE-X, asde model X which can give controllers warning for runway and some facility have ASCC which does the same for taxiways and runways if there are incidents like that in the apst (anc, sfo etc). The American airspace system is made for efficeny, the ICAO system is not efficent at all. Being able to clear multiple people to land at once while doing depatures is excellent, at an airport without the ASDE or ASCC system they cannot line up and wait while issuing a land clearance but with that it will alert them if they need to send someone around. the american system is 100% safe, blab about the runway incursions all you want, we havent had a major incident and most likely never will
