From the arrival runway, the tower controller had cleared the Air France aircraft to hold short of runway 22R. While holding short of the runway, the Air France pilot stated over the radio “Air France 012 to cross?” She should have instead phrased it with something like “requesting permission to cross runway 22R,” or something.

The aircraft was cleared for a visual approach on runway 17R. Oklahoma City Airport does indeed also have a runway 13, which is the direction the pilots were headed. However, given their distance from the airport and altitude, it’s not even logical that they were attempting to land on that runway.

The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. I mean, all jets I have flown are like that, but this is fairly sensitive to pitch, power, and flap configuration—all requiring lots of trimming. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.

But too much airspeed can lead to bounced landings if the pilot tries to force the airplane on the runway or a runway excursion if the airplane runs out of room before it runs out of speed. The left wing dropped and the airplane descended off the side of the runway, impacted terrain, and cartwheeled before coming to rest.”

We strapped into the cockpit, completed routine checks and procedures, started the engines, and taxied to the end of the runway. Landing on a short field required full flaps and the slowest possible safe airspeed, a couple of knots above stall. That was about 89 knots, as I recall. This is Saigon. Five go-arounds.

After we decided this, we heard a Challenger jet announce “Taxiing to 26 for takeoff”. That was the runway we would use to land. As we will learn, it was the whole issue.

The fast jets and faster-talking controllers can be intimidating. Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. These simpler classes cannot handle major international airports’ constant high-speed jet traffic. It’s understandable. Managing so many aircraft is challenging.

It also keeps planes organized on the runway, but what is it exactly? Aviation taxiing is when an airplane or other aircraft with wheels rolls off, on, or along the runway at a slow, consistent speed. It uses a propulsion system comprising propellers or jet engines to navigate at a certain set speed limit.
