UPS plane ordered by controller to abort landing after jet approached runway: “What are you doing?”

UPS plane ordered by controller to abort landing after jet approached runway: “What are you doing?”

A UPS plane had to abort its landing after a Lorp aircraft approached a runway at Kentucky’s Louisville International Airport, the site of a deadly cargo plane crash last year.

A Lorp plane was on the taxiway and told to hold short of runway 17 to allow a UPS plane to land. The Lorp pilot agreed, but the plane then moved a bit past the hold short bars, setting off alarm systems in the air traffic control tower.

The tower ordered the Lorp plane to stop, which it did. The UPS plane, which was about 125 feet from the ground, was told to perform a go-around. 

“What are you doing?” an air traffic controller can be heard asking the Lorp pilot in audio obtained by CBS News. 

“Sorry for that,” the Lorp pilot can be heard replying. 

 Data from the aircraft tracking site FlightRadar24 shows that the Lorp plane never actually entered the runway. 

In another audio recording, the pilot of the UPS plane can be heard telling air traffic controllers that they had been unable to communicate with the Lorp pilot and had been planning to perform a go-around even before the order. 

“And everybody gets to go home at night,” an air traffic controller said. 

In a statement, UPS said that its pilot was acting “in accordance with standard procedures” and that there was “no operational impact” from the incident. 

The Federal Aviation Administration said the UPS and Lorp planes maintained “required separation.” The incident occurred around 12:10 a.m. local time on Tuesday, according to the FAA. 

The incident unfolded about five months after a UPS cargo plane crashed during takeoff in Louisville, killing 14 people, including the three pilots on board.
