Narrative: I taxied just past the runway hold at C3 from D3 in an effort to perform run up clear of the main taxiway. The hold lines had been moved back and I was now over the hold line.  I realized I was over and did a 180 back to taxiway C and called ground for instructions to taxi back to the hangar.  I just completed the Runway safety course yesterday and am beginning recurrent training this afternoon.  My plane was just out of annual and after an extensive preflight I wanted to do a few trips around the pattern to help verify the soundness of the aircraft before I took my flight instructor up with me.  I am fairly new to DVT.  It is way more complicated on the ground and in the air here than I was accustomed to so I wanted to get with an instructor before I flew around the area too much.  Then Covid hit and I couldn't go up. None of this is an excuse.  It is just background that I hope will be helpful.




Synopsis: Private Pilot reported runway incursion occurred during taxi and cited being new to the airport as a contributing factor.

Narrative: Received a call from Ramp Lead for this flight. According to the Ramp Lead; item #4 has an overhang on both sides. The Ramp reported that the commodity was a car. Loading was rearranged to accommodate and some freight removed. The remark shows no indication that the item has an overhang. Also; since the commodity was reported to be a car; the only hazardous information provided shows RMD. Most cars have combustion engines which means flammable liquids may be present (i.e. fuel; oil; etc.).




Synopsis: Airline Ramp personnel reported a car loading discrepancy which was corrected prior to departure.

Narrative: I was the flying pilot; we were kept high the whole time. Then we were given [Runway] XXR GPS Y; as we turned; the turn was inside the approach fix; it was tight.  I turned to final and we looked high and I wasn't comfortable; so we asked for a go-around. I initiated TOGA; we were approximately 2;200 feet when we did the go-around; and began the go-around process and around 2;500 feet. ATC asked to maintain 3;000 feet. We got extremely busy and by the time we realized it we were at 3;500 feet.  We descended to 3;000 feet and we asked to extend the downwind.I had been out for a year and half; and since I gotten back; I did not fly that much; also was off last month and half of this month due to COVID-19; but also I should have asked for extended downwind in the airport; should not [have] allowed the Controller to rush us and I have learned a lesson.Don't accept any arrival that I am not comfortable with.




Synopsis: Air carrier First officer reported an unstablized approach and an altitude deviation during a go-around.  First Officer cited lack of flying as a contributing factor.

Narrative: While trying to maneuver my plane into a parking spot; I looked out the right window and saw I was extremely close to another plane's spinner and stepped on the brakes quickly. I shut the plane down and walked out to the wingtip and there was no evidence of contact with the other aircraft. It was an extremely close call and could have been worse if I had been any closer or any faster. The flight school airplanes had all been moved from their normal parking spots because the taxiways are in the process of being repaved and are much closer to each other. I recommend painting a temporary line in front of the parked aircraft beyond which no aircraft can taxi so that other instructors do not have this problem. Also I think I should not have been trying to rush back to the parking spot.




Synopsis: Flight school aircraft had been moved during repaving and while taxiing into a parking spot using the old taxi lines an instructor's wingtip nearly contacted another aircraft's prop spinner.

Narrative: Boarding was complete. Waiting for main cabin door closure. Requested air in the cabin as it was getting stuffy in the rear of cabin where I was stationed. I was FA/B. As soon as air came on; I noticed a smell and within a minute noticed a fog or light smoke in cabin. Called FA/A to ask if he noticed it. At same time he had noticed and was telling the CA. CA quickly came out of flight deck and got on the PA and directed passengers to quickly deplane and to remain together away from plane but inside white painted lines. I told the unaccompanied minor seated in row 19 to follow the last passenger off with myself behind. I noticed passengers were gathering all their stuff and line wasn't moving so I got on PA and told passengers to leave their things so we could deplane quickly. We all gathered outside plane then were directed to go into the terminal to wait for further details. I accompanied the minor and talked with her mom on phone to let her know what was going on then handed minor over to gate agent so I could return to the plane and my crew. After we were able; we helped gather the passenger's stuff they left on board and we took everything to a different plane and passengers re boarded and we departed for ZZZ1 1 hour and 45 minutes later. FA/A reported that he quickly exited the plane to put the step-in place as he was concerned that many of our passengers would have trouble exiting without it. We had 4 wheelchair passengers on board. He returned to his position to help with the deplaning.




Synopsis: Flight Attendant reported odor and light smoke in the passenger cabin when supplementary air provided while finalizing boarding.

Narrative: In cruise at 9;500 FT I had electrical smoke in the cockpit. I shut off the electrical master and made an immediate turn to nearest visually acquired airport. With backup handheld radio; I called in the blind on 121.5 three times and informed of smoke and landing. I was unable to receive; no light gun seen from Tower; no traffic noticed; uneventful landing; made two way contact on 121.5 when clear of the runway and communicated on ground to parking. The Tower did hear the 121.5 transmissions; but unsure of content; and saw me overfly before landing. No emergency services on the field were notified. Keeping a backup GPS turned on and a headset adapter plugged into the handheld radio would have made navigation and two way communication more likely. Flight following may have allowed one call or at least someone watching. There was little time except to fly to the nearest unidentified airport and communicate as [soon] as possible.




Synopsis: The pilot of an RV8 observed electrical smoke in the cockpit. He secured the electrical master switch and turned towards the closest airport. He transmitted his situation and intentions from his handheld radio on 121.5; but was unable to receive a response. He landed successfully and established communication clear of the runway.

Narrative: Aircraft called asking for a city tour. I approved the city tour and advised aircraft that departure runway was Runway 27. As aircraft approached they went past city and headed East bound; opposite to Runway 27 departures. I advised aircraft of an air carrier departure just lifting off and to maintain visual separation with the air carrier. Pilot said she would do so but her actions did not indicate that she saw the aircraft. I advised pilot that the air carrier was going to turn left in compliance with the SID and for her to descend as both aircraft appeared to be at the same altitude. At this point the aircraft was South of the airport; nearly 2 miles from the city. Recommendation: restrict pilot to a specific area.




Synopsis: BOS Controller described a conflict event between an air carrier departure and a VFR tour aircraft; the reporter acknowledging more specific instructions should have been issued to the tour aircraft.

Narrative: WE were flying the LOC approach to 24L. As we started down to our MDA we broke out and I started looking for the airport. I was making the call outs to MDA and thought the First Officer was stopping the descent at the MDA. I looked out and back and realized he was still descending and told him to stop descent. We stopped 150 feet below MDA; continued the approach and landed. Looking back at the approach I should have called for a missed approach and received vectors for another approach. The only reason for continuing was use of poor judgment or just a bad decision at the time.




Synopsis: A CRJ Captain reported the flying First Officer descended 150 feet below MDA on a LOC approach.

Narrative: At LAS we were given instruction to line up and wait by ATC on Runway 7L at Foxtrot which is the beginning of the Displaced Threshold. Another aircraft was also cleared line up and wait on 7L at Alpha 8 intersection. The Aircraft on 7L at Alpha 8 intersection was cleared for takeoff. We were given an unusual instruction to taxi slowly up to Taxiway Delta on Runway 7L and we would probably be cleared for takeoff before we got there. The controller said that we had the same initial fix as the aircraft that took off at Alpha 8. While taxiing I noticed an aircraft on short final for Runway 1 Right that we were never informed of. I said 'stop there is a plane on short final'. We held short of 1 Right for a few seconds at which time the tower cleared us for immediate takeoff from present position. Nonstandard procedures from ATC caused confusion.




Synopsis: While lined up and waiting on Runway 7L at LAS Tower cleared an EMB-135 to taxi forward to A-8. As they approached Runway 1R the First Officer noted traffic on short final and shouted a warning to the Captain who managed to stop in a timely fashion.

Narrative: At departure time; aircraft ready for dispatch with all cargo doors closed only passenger door L1 remained open; the aircraft NLG raised off the ground approximately 18 inches per ground crew estimates. All loading for the departure was complete; bags/cargo; passengers and fuel.


Second narrative: While waiting for jet bridge to be pulled from aircraft the nose gear came off the ground. Following the ramp manual we had the nose gear chocked and the aircraft was connected to the Tug and cradle was down. As soon as the nose gear came off the ground I immediately called for a supervisor and Maintenance. Once they arrived they checked out the situation and then cleared us for push.


Synopsis: Ground employees and a First Officer reported the nose strut of a B737 aircraft fully extended and came off the ground 15 to 18 inches while attached to the push back tug. Reportedly; all loading was complete at that time.

Narrative: Aircraft change running late. Operations Agent asked that we keep aircraft powered up because outbound flight attendants were here. Our flight attendants were going with us on our outbound flight. First Officer went to outbound gate. I stayed with aircraft and helped flight attendants clean aircraft. No outbound flight attendants were at aircraft; so I terminated aircraft. We left aircraft without seeing any new flight attendants. As I went to the new gate; I was wondering why the Operations Agent told me the new flight attendants were there when they were not.I began to think that maybe he meant the flight attendants were at the airport; or had landed. Reaching our outbound gate; I called back to [gate] and told the Operations Agent that the aircraft was shut down. I did not want the outbound flight attendants to show up; and they started boarding without the emergency exit lights being armed. The Operations Agent said that the new outbound flight attendants were there but had stayed in the gate area because they did not want to board the aircraft immediately.I did not see any flight attendants in the jetway or gate area. I'm not sure we should be leaving an aircraft powered up totally unsupervised but the most important fact was if I was changing the plan due to whatever reason should have told the Operations Agent before I left the aircraft. A long day; being rushed I did not immediately catch all the pitfalls of the event. It was not a through flight. No passengers were on the aircraft.




Synopsis: B737 Captain reported that a miscommunication between the flight crew and an Operations Agent resulted in the aircraft being powered up with no crew on board.

Narrative: Departed Runway 07R ANC on the KNIK2 SID. The departure requires a left turn at 2000 ft. or 4 DME whichever occurs first. After takeoff while just starting our turn we got a terrain warning from ATC and directive to turn left immediately for terrain. Our aircraft was right on the magenta line and we were beginning the turn at exactly the same time ATC contacted us to turn. I am filing the FSAP so future crews may be aware of this. Possibly enter a note on the 10-7 page regarding that departure and prompt turn.




Synopsis: B737 Captain reported ATC issued a Terrain Proximity Alert even though they were complying with the requirements of the departure procedure.
