Ross Carlson Posted September 27, 2008 at 05:13 PM Posted September 27, 2008 at 05:13 PM I did LAX to SFO ... the controllers did a fantastic job with all the traffic. The final approach controller (I forgot to get his name) did an especially good job. The pilots seemed to be on top of their game as well. Great fun!

Greg Marcoux 980029 Posted September 29, 2008 at 02:06 AM Posted September 29, 2008 at 02:06 AM Thank you Ross for the kinds words. I was the finall approach controller and except for one Delta guy on text who got lost in the shuffle it was a fun and challenging night. When SFO is visual the paralell approaches are quite a sight for pilots, p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers and controllers. The primary responsibility for seperation switches from the controller to the pilot once the pointouts have been made to the pilots. Thanks to everyone for coming out it was a fun event.
