My neighbor works runway ops at ORD.  They had 10 closed while they looked for a chunk of concrete that was allegedly sitting out there.  In comes an 777 -- UAL 158 from SFO (red-eye) -- trying to land on 10 before they had it re-opened; tower asked them to sidestep to 9R but they were too close in so had to go around.

The exchange begins around 18:35.  They come back for a second try at 28:28, this time on 9R.

According to my neighbor UAL 158 has been snakebitten lately; within the past month they've lost an engine on one flight and had a passenger die on another.

Here's the track from FlightAware showing the go-around and second approach to 9R:

If the computer simply needs to be able to run Windows 2000 or XP and have a line or mic input on the sound card I think I might be able to get what you need to get the feed back up. It won't be a powerful computer by any means. Is the application used to feed the audio processor or memory intensive?

Ok, I've obtain a computer to get the feed back up and running. It's a Dell GX270; 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with 256MB of ram and Windows XP. The computer uses about 115MB of ram when fully booted. I checked with Dave and he indicated that the remaining ram should be more than enough to run the needed software. I tested and confirmed that line input, mic inputs, and speaker output are all functional. So once I'm able to deliver the computer the feed should be back online.  grin grin

I saw an old post in this forum about using a scanner while on board.  The post stated something regarding "oscillators" in regards to why scanners cannot be used.

I wanted to get the forums updated opinion and knowledge on this subject.  Especially wanted to know why computers and devices can use wi-fi on-board and a scanner cannot.

Yup. No strips on departures this morning. Usually they print 30 minutes prior to the proposed departure time except it didn't happen today.

Not sure if page is contract or faa but if higher up folks review these tapes like they should (generally 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after) she should be sounding different the next time you hear her. Too bad about the accident though.

Good deal, thanks for some insight sir.  As a controller, it seems you probably have a better perspective than many.

They are the military the can do what they want. Enough said.

The FAA and the USAF disagree with you.  Until we officially declare war on Pilatus anyway.

Sounds like Both GA Pilots were full of them self's. "He's to close to my airplane" Really? I mean Really? The F-16 cost 10 times as much as "Your Plane"

I've been unable to find the FAR that states required separation distance is inversely proportional to the resale value differential of the participating aircraft.

The F-16 also has a marked advantage in the ratio of ejection seats to passengers.

I would have grabbed a camera and took a picture.

As a passenger, sure.  As a pilot your primary responsibility is the safety of your aircraft and passengers, not sightseeing.

The only thing you are right ton is the FAA and USAF disagreeing.

As far as the Ejection seat comment. How do you know there were passengers on board? Now where in that article did it state that it was a Pt. 135 or PT 91 flight. It could have been a Part 91 ferry or home flight. 

Your pilot comment is laughable, Either you have no idea about real world Aviation or you work at a FSDO. I have seen thousands of Pictures that pilots have showed me of landmarks, Other Aircraft, and of each  other messing around on the flight deck. These are pilots with Commercial and ATP ratings. Everything is not always done by the book.

Thankyou too...it's a good Idea to do this...I have sometimes thought about following USAIR from Manchester england to Philly...I think if I remember rightly...the Delta Pilot Waved at me at manchester (he did 1st which was nice) and I might have listened to the atlanta sector or i've just merged them2  grin
