2/14/18 Question of the day
Two aircraft are on their ascent into the pattern on parallel runways, 26L and 26R, in fully clear weather. ABC1 is on 26L, and 123A is on 26R. Both aircraft are still on upwind, when 123A requests a runway change to 26L. ABC1 is still in the pattern for 26L. Which answer represents the most appropriate immediate action?

- (A) Deny runway to change to 123A and remove him from the pattern through the use of “Depature Approved, then switching him to Departure if available.
- (B) Instruct him to “Go Around”, request a “slowest practical speed” to avoid collision, and sequence him number 2 behind ABC1, and clear him for the option.
- (C) Sequence him behind ABC 1 as number 2, then clear him to land as number 2 for 26L.
- (D) Instruct an “Extend Upwind” if necessary, then instruct a pattern entry for 26L, and include a sequencing.

Edit: Unfortunately while scrolling I clicked (B), that is one of the incorrect answers, so just ignore that one. I cannot remove the vote, and neither can a moderator. Creating a new poll will delete the results.
