Harrison Ford makes miss call to hold short
Harrison Ford is being investigated for making an error while operating a plane this week in California, according to a new report. The actor, an avid flyer, apparently landed at the Hawthorne Airport on Friday in Southern California when he began traveling from the runway to the taxiway. According to audio obtained by TMZ, Ford, 77, failed to follow a tower operator's direction to "hold short" on the runway due to "traffic." (www.foxnews.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

I think any of us mortals had his recent history, our tickets would have been pulled long ago.
No need to pull his ticket...but...maybe he needs a 'Wingman' sitting in the right seat. I would think that his Insurer would insist on that at this point.
As someone who was sure this had to be Ford's mistake, I would suggest listening to the audio before passing too much judgment.
ATC: Husky 9HU, hold short Runway 25 at HOTEL
Ford: Hold short of 25 at HOTEL for 89HU
Ford: Tower, 89HU holding short at HOTEL
ATC (with not the clearest enunciation): Husky 9HU continue holding short runway 25, traffic on the runway.
Ford: Crossing 25, 89HU.
I have no idea how that sounded across Ford's radio, but if I personally was holding short and heard "continue", I might do just that.
I don't think "continue" and "hold short" should be used together, especially given that radio transmissions are not always crystal clear.

I would cross if I was told, "Cleared to cross Runway 25." "Continue" isn't an ATC command. It would only be used if you had already been given a clearance to perform an action.
Just an FYI about his performance as an pilot. First the latest he did not follow atc "hold short" command and he caused a mess and it could have been worse. Second he crash landed on a golf corse, luckly no one was hurt. The worst of late he landed on a taxi way and only missed a 727 by less than 40 feet vertically. SO why does he still have a pilots license? If it was anyone else they woulden't! My 2 cents worth!
