Contributing to the controller\u2019s incorrect assumption were his expectation bias regarding the SWA airplane\u2019s departure, his lack of situational awareness regarding the SWA airplane\u2019s position when the flight crew requested takeoff clearance, and the air traffic control tower\u2019s lack of training (before the incident) on low visibility operations. Contributing to the incident was the SWA flight crewmembers\u2019 failure to account for the traffic that was on short final approach and to notify the controller that they would need additional time on the runway before the takeoff roll. Also contributing to the incident was the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s failure to require surface detection equipment at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and direct alerting for flight crews.","registration":"N297FE","state":"TX","summary":"Incident on February 4, 2023 at Austin, TX: no injuries.","type":"INC"}],"num_engines":2,"other_names":"","plain_english":"N297FE is a Boeing 767-32LF, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor with turbofan engines, built in 2012.
