NASA Discusses Safety During the Taxi Operation

[KeithSmith]

Given the recent event in Nashville, it would seem that NASA must have a crystal ball.

Here is their latest issue of Callback, which came out just before the event.

The hardest part of the job is getting to, and from, the runway. Airports are insanely busy, not everyone speaks english as a first language, there are all sorts of ground vehicles driving all over the place, the taxi light is useless, add in night, rain, a few other distractions, and the fact that you have not been to that airport in over a year (because your company goes to over 100 different locations) and the stress level goes way up. I don't know what happened in BNA but I will say........."But by the Grace of God, there go I"
