A judge has reopened a federal lawsuit accusing air traffic controllers of causing the 2016 fatal crash of a small airplane that veered into the wake of a jetliner’s turbulence before it went down near Reno-Tahoe International Airport. The families of the pilot and a passenger killed are seeking up to $6.
A Detroit judge is temporarily off the bench after he put a teenager in jail clothes and handcuffs after she fell asleep during a courtroom field trip. RENO , Nev. — A judge in Nevada has reopened a federal lawsuit accusing air traffic controllers of causing the 2016 fatal crash of a small airplane that veered into turbulence in the wake of a jetliner before it went down near Reno -Tahoe International Airport.
Brown thought there was only one, the lawsuit said. His plane hit the second cargo plane’s turbulence and crashed in a recreational vehicle park in Sparks about one-half mile from the airport runway. The appellate court said in its ruling in June it was vacating her decision, but the judgment didn’t go into effect until this week.She ordered the families of Brown and Elliker — who filed subsequent lawsuits later consolidated into a single case — along with the Justice Department lawyers representing the FAA and any other relevant parties to confer and file a joint status report by Aug. 27 proposing steps to resolve the case in accordance with the 9th Circuit’s ruling.
The three-judge panel said the confusion came as the controller switched from the tower’s use of radar to establish space between planes to what is known as “pilot-applied visual separation,” in which pilots make visual contact with other planes to maintain separation without direction from controllers.
