At an uncontrolled airfield, yes. In this case, it is rather unlikely right of way had much to do with it. Moreover, the definition of a runway incursion does not include 'right of way'. And finally, 'runway incursion' implies something that may not be the case here, especially to less informed people - like those reading with us and sometimes blowing up matters just to have a story. I don't like when that happens, thus the question.EHAM wrote:but according to the right of way rules a landing aircraft has precedence over a taxiing aircraft.
It does not have to be a mistake. Sometimes, manoeuvres at an airfield take longer than anticipated, for various reasons. That can lead to a runway still occupied with an aircraft on short final, in which case a go-around is often the best option. That is, most of the time, still a fully-controlled situation. I am not saying it was in this case because I don't know, but I oppose to suggestions it was not before facts are clear. That's all.B767-300ER wrote:It Could also be the controller who made the mistake!
