FAA says an air traffic controller cancelled takeoff clearance for American Airlines Flight 2134 “because another aircraft was cleared to land on an intersecting runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.” https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/boston-bound-flight-averts-runway-collision-at-reagan-national-airport/3384166/
@w7voa THIS ISNT NEWS.
It's routine. It happens to me like once a month. Some planes are faster than others and sometimes they give clearance thinking you have time, and then have to revoke it when the other plane gets where it's going a little faster than expected.
@LouisIngenthron Are you a commercial airline pilot?
@w7voa No, I fly smaller planes. And, admittedly, in this particular instance, it was a nearer miss than most, but revoking clearance after it's been given is still very common.
