On December 23, 2021, when Morgan Farmer and Jake Zakrzewski plugged in to train on their first session of the day at Denver Center (ZDV), they were greeted with reports of severe icing and severe turbulence. Shortly after plugging in, N340J checked on. Zakrzewski and Farmer immediately noticed that he was having trouble maintaining altitude. They later determined that N340JS encountered severe icing, was unable to maintain altitude and descended below the Minimum IFR Altitude (MIA). Though the pilot never declared an emergency, the training team treated the situation as such, and was able to lead him to a safe landing.

It was a typical Tuesday evening around 11:30 p.m. when Boston Tower (BOS) controller Patrick Sullivan was contacted by the pilot of N477GJ, a BE40, requesting to taxi to Runway 9. The pilot read his clearance back incorrectly, which led Sullivan to reissue the taxi clearance, which the pilot again read back incorrectly. Continued errors in understanding instructions and following them resulted in the pilot heading directly toward a runway which had an aircraft on short final.
“I jumped up and said, ‘STOP!’ and the pilot stopped and said, ‘Thank you’ and asked if he was in trouble,” Sullivan recalled. “I said, ‘No, you didn’t cross the runway, you didn’t get onto the runway. Just stay right there.’” Due to Sullivan’s quick action and clear communication, the pilot was able to take off without catastrophe or further incident.
