At airliners.net it is reported that there was a near miss at MAN between a Ryanair 732 and a MyTravel A321. Did anyone happen to see it?
In the article the term “staggered runways” is mentioned. What is meant with that? Two runways running parralel close together?
the original post:
Does any know whether a near miss report is/has been submitted for an incident at Manchester yesterday morning involving a Ryanair B732 and a My Travel A321.
The Ryanair plane landed on 06R shortly after a Turkish B738 and proceeded at high speed to vacate. The Turkish aircraft was held short of 06L but the Ryanair plane just darted across 06L without a bye or leave !
At the time the MYT A321 was given take off clearance and was rolling on 06L and to avoid collision with the RYR B732 necessitated not just an abort but a full blow emergency stop smoking brakes the works !
It then had to taxi off the runway and initially taxied back to begin another attempt but having stopped short of the runway clearly the brake were so hot it returned to stand and was delayed for several hours after that !
THIS type of incident was forecast by many when the staggered runway scheme was proposed !
Who is to blame RYR Manchester Tower Ground etc….
It was quite major incident I my eyes and there were a number of spotters and others that simply just missed it !
But any ways any professionals ATC/MYT/RYR knows any thing ?http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/1431714/.

I’m surprised the tires didn’t blow out, which would have prevented it from taxiing any further, I would imagine.

IF it is true, then the B732 is to blame! They taxied into the runway without having clearance to do so! Is RTO always full braking? I read somewhere that a 747 that used MAX braking has to cool down for a few hours!
