ATOOC: Separation Anxiety at JFK

Air Traffic Out Of Control

In this episode, several flights are coming in for an approach at JFK when an American Airlines pilot feels that his separation from other aircraft is too close for comfort.

When he raises this concern to the tower, the controller doesn't want to hear it.

The controller quickly corrects the pilot on the separation he requires in his airspace.

After landing, the pilot is asked to contact Approach Control to discuss the issue further.
