  • Right after April's elections, incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to serve a record fifth term, but then there was a deadlock among the political parties.

  • What all the things that you need to bear in mind you more than any other apple tw Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world, and as a result, the radio traffic is daunting.

  • The radio calls or just constant.

  • So you have to listen very carefully, and you have to be very careful when you taxi to ensure that you're on the correct taxiway and that you don't incur on a runway or do something else and taxi to the wrong place.

  • Absolutely.

  • It's the pilot's responsibility, of course, to keep from hitting anyone.

  • So air traffic control in the pilots are both working together.

  • So you have to monitor all these targets and ensure that nobody incurs into your airspace and causes 767 heavy Atlanta.

  • So it's another aircraft in front of us.

  • That's correct.

  • And what you're watching is he needs to clear this runway before we touch down.

  • And the tower and air traffic control has made that happen by assigning us air speeds and the pilot using his good judgment because we can't be on the runway at the same time.

  • He is for obvious reasons.

  • You could see your red over white meeting.

  • You're on the proper glide path, and our instrumentation here confirms that were properly configured.

  • We should be touching down shortly.

  • You try to touch down in the 1st 3rd or 3000 feet of the runway.
