Norway Asks Air Defense Chief To Discipline Pilots

It's Not Nice To Scare The Commercial Air Crews...

If Norway's Accident Investigation Board, the country's air defense pilots will soon get their hands slapped.

The AIB says military pilots simply have no concept of how TCAS instruments installed in commercial aircraft work -- because the multinational Air Defense pilots are repeatedly setting them off.

For whatever reason, the AIB said military aircraft closed to within a mile of commercial aircraft three time in November 2003 alone. In one notorious case, reported by the Trondheim newspaper Adresseavisen, a British pilot cruised leisurely to within a mile of a commercial passenger flight. The British pilot apparently didn't understand the civilian crew's calls to a nearby control tower and, even as the crew called for help and for instructions, the pilot continued flying beside, beneath and above the passenger plane.

The AIB implored Air Defense to teach the military pilots better "manners."
