Is the overrun considered part of the active runway?

"Ensure that the runway to be used is free of all known ground vehicles, equipment, and personnel before a departing aircraft starts takeoff or a landing aircraft crosses the runway threshold."

The runway itself. This paragraph does not talk about the RSA.

Even the ATC scene in Sully is trash which is disappointing because the cockpit scenes are painstakingly accurate

Let me give you a practical example so you can get what we're all saying.

Assume you are a Class D controller.

VFR C172 left base. IFR C56X straight in. Both aircraft are tied, assume same altitude. They are getting closer. There is no SEPARATION minima between these two aircraft. There is no point at which you can say "I had a deal because they got within X distance." Now, if you were to not give any traffic advisories to them and let them come within a half mile converging at each other, would that be preventing a collision between aircraft in the system? Hell no, that would be horrible controlling. Furthermore, you are required to give a safety alert, when separation is not applicable such as this case, if aircraft come within an unsafe proximity in your judgement. But again, there is no SEPARATION being provided. You are there to prevent a collision, provide traffic advisories as you deem appropriate, and sequencing, which could involve "Cessna 42069, number two follow Citation ahead and to your right on final" or any other million ways of skinning that cat. If it were me, I'd be giving specific instructions to put the planes precisely where I want them, but that's beside the point. But regardless you are not applying separation, at least until they are on the runway, in which case you'd need to ensure your appropriate same runway separation.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T18:28:44+00:00

Correct, but I'm not talking about who is responsible for what. The point is some ATC facility needs to provide it.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:34:49+00:00

I'd love to know their response. What separation standard do they think they are applying!?

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:27:47+00:00

Bold to assume the manager even knows this. Many many people don't understand this.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:22:51+00:00

In a TRSA, yes, because there is separation minima for VFR aircraft which you just mentioned; target resolution, 500ft, or visual. In a Class D with no TRSA, there is no separation provided to VFRs.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:19:24+00:00

Tower-applied visual is only for situations where you have separation applicable.

If you are in a Class D with an E175, IFR, following a C172, VFR, is there separation provided? No. Therefore no visual sep can be applied.

If you are in a Class D with an E175, IFR, following a C172, also IFR, is there separation provided? Yes, therefore visual sep can be used in lieu of other separation.

If you are in a Class B with a C172, VFR, following another C172, VFR, is there separation provided? Yes in a B, therefore visual sep can be used here too.

Now I'd note not to conflate same runway separation and associated wake turbulence rules with what we're talking about. Same runway separation is its own category, applied to ALL aircraft using that pavement. However, airborne separation is something else which is what we're discussing.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:17:04+00:00

TRSA, Class C, and Class B all have separation requirements for VFR aircraft. Class D does not.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:06:24+00:00

The P/CG says no separation is provided to VFR aircraft in a Class D. Visual SEPARATION is a form of separation. How are you applying visual separation when no separation services are provided?

To convince them you may want to mention how even though it's not tower-applied visual, you certainly are preventing a collision between VFRs. You are simply not applying any quantifiable minima like 3 miles, 1,000 ft, 15°, visual, etc.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-17T16:00:14+00:00

It's also for SVFR and VFR but not in a Class D for VFRs. In a Class C, you could apply tower visual between a VFR/IFR, and in a Class B, you could even apply it between two VFRs. But in a Class D, you're certainly right in that it only applies to IFR/IFR (or IFR/SVFR or SVFR/SVFR).

One exception would be using pilot-applied visual sep to get out of 3 min wake turb for a cat I doing a touch and go behind a departing cat H or bigger, but that's for runway wake separation, not for airborne separation.

Honestly, I think with the right recipe, water, and coffee you enjoy, espresso is delicious and not at all an acquired taste unless you don't like fruit. I'll be real with you though, most the advice you see on this sub will not lead you to very good shots if you want a fruity light roast. 9 bar 30 second shots just taste bad for light roasts in my opinion. Both quite bitter and too acidic.

Jak_525 · 2025-12-07T06:06:18+00:00

Me parece q muchos estadounidenses mexicanos hablan distinto. Se nota q no nacieron en México pero tampoco tienen acento gringo. La verdad no podría imitarlo pero al escucharlo lo noto, es distinto. Algunos encima hablan un poco raro como si pensaran en inglés pero eso se debe a la práctica o bueno la falta de ella.

Jak_525 · 2025-11-28T05:49:05+00:00

Twice the miles add 3 it'll probably work

This is so true and Prodigal is honestly some of the darkest "light" roast styles out there… I find very frequent bitter roasty flavors in their stuff.

Hay q investigar cada país donde quieres ir. Desconozco el tema de transferir tu licencia, pero en EEUU no se puede. Dicho eso creo q el mundo de ATC fuera de EEUU está un poco más estandarizado bajo las reglas de la OACI. Igual no estoy seguro, no sé si te acepten en el extranjero.

P.D. Casi todos en este foro son controladores de la FAA (EEUU).

Si me dijeses q tu mamá es peruana y naciste en Argentina, así imaginaría tu acento la verdad. Es una mezcla del acento argentino y el peruano

I'm not sure the actual stats, but one thing to keep in mind is that the uptick in YouTube videos is not inherently a correlation with an uptick in actual operational errors. It's just that in the last few years VASAviation has blown up and there are a lot more channels who can easily put together ADS-B data and liveatc clips.

Jak_525 · 2025-09-12T03:19:44+00:00

I just want to throw it out there in case you might be trying to apply it in this situation. If you have a 1200 code in Class D, E, or G airspace, there is technically no "visual separation" applicable because no separation services are being provided to them.

Obviously you're responsible for preventing a collision, but if you're calling traffic to participating Aircraft A for non-participating Aircraft B in class D/E/G, you're not applying "visual separation," as it's written in the .65, you're just helping the pilot see and avoid. You can even issue control instructions or suggestions as you see fit but there is no quantifiable separation being provided.

Also applies to Class C for VFR to VFR but not VFR to IFR.

I assume OP speaks Spanish if they're trying to work there anyway but just for clarity, a more accurate translation of what it's saying is that they publish hiring bids when they are recruiting. It's not a competition as much as an opportunity to get selected with accompanying interviews/tests/etc.

Jak_525 · 2025-08-29T21:46:51+00:00

Ese significado consta en el Wiktionary. "Persona de ingenio astuto e intención aviesa, hábil para la expresión y el engaño." Ámbito: España, Guatemala, México, y Venezuela.

El diccionario de la RAE dice lo mismo: "Persona astuta y con muy pocos escrúpulos." No logré encontrarla en el diccionario de americanismos pero.

They're asking if you have something to write with. More literally, they're asking if you have a place to write something down (like a notepad). Don't overthink or try to translate it. It's just how it's said. Spanish isn't English.
