Airliner, military jet nearly collide

September 7, 2000

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

An F-117 stealth fighter flew close enough to a United Airlines jet to set off the passenger plane's on-board radar today, the airline and the military said.

The incident occurred shortly after United flight 174 left Los Angeles International Airport for Boston about 8:30 a.m., said Chris Nardella, a spokeswoman for United, which is based in the Chicago suburb of Elk Grove Village.

The Boeing 757 was flying at about 10,800 feet when its on-board radar equipment detected an approaching aircraft. Nardella said the crew kept the plane at that altitude until the Air Force jet passed overhead.

An Air Force spokeswoman, Maj. Cheryl Law, said she did not know how close the stealth jet and the United plane came to each other. The stealth jet, which is able to evade radar, was broadcasting its position publicly when the near-miss occurred.

Nardella said United officials reported the incident to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The F-117 is based at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

The United flight carried 166 passengers and seven crew.

Det ser kanskje ut til å være litt forvirring rundt begrepet "on-board radar". Var det på værradaren de så F-117? Neppe. 757-en fikk nok TCAS-varsling, og denne er ikke radarbasert, men transponderbasert ved at flyet (F-117) sendte transpondersignal i mode C. Dette sitatet underbygger at det er TCAS: "The stealth jet, which is able to evade radar, was broadcasting its position publicly when the near-miss occurred."

Det er med undring jeg leser følgende tekst hentet fra ovenstående link :

Boeing 757-flyet var på vei fra Los Angeles til Boston, og hadde klatret til en marsjhøyde på 10.800 fot bare fem minutter etter take-off fra Los Angeles International Airport, da flyets anti-kollisjonsalarm gikk av.

Nesten alle artikkler vedr. luftfart er det et eller annet som virker helt ulogisk.
