Lipkin-Moore credits his trainers, who
provided important guidance about this
complex airport — lessons that proved
invaluable that evening. "I was told by my
trainers from the beginning that you can never
let your guard down at this airport. Years later,
now I see why," he recalls. "Staying disciplined
— and scanning at the right place at the right
time — is what put me in position to catch
the mistake while it could still be fixed."
Boston Logan's intersecting runways and
complex layout require constant vigilance
from controllers. Lipkin-Moore's skill,
knowledge, experience, and impeccable
scanning, and quick recognition of an
unexpected takeoff roll prevented a potentially
catastrophic runway incursion.
