A320 close call at San Francisco highlighted NOTAM overload: ICAO forum
QUOTES:
"Overflight of a heavily-occupied taxiway by an Airbus A320 at San Francisco served as an illustration of the serious risks of overloading pilots with NOTAMs, an ICAO forum has heard, as the organisation initiates efforts to reduce unnecessary NOTAM information.
The Air Canada jet’s crew, intending to land on runway 28R at night in July 2017, inadvertently lined up with the parallel taxiway C which was occupied by four aircraft – only executing a go-around at 100ft after overflying the first of them.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators found the pilots misidentified the taxiway because they had not recalled the closure of runway 27L contained in a NOTAM.
The crew’s flight-release package was 27 pages long and the NOTAM advising of the runway closure was on the eighth, towards the middle of the second page of NOTAMs."
