Aviation — duty
Air traffic controllers employed by the FAS do not have a duty to warn that turbulence had been forecast along the flight path.
“Ms. LeGrande contends, in essence, that the first sentence of FAA Job Order 7110.65P § 2-6-2—‘Controllers shall advise pilots of hazardous weather that may impact operations within 150 [nautical miles] of their sector or area of jurisdiction’—operates independently from the remainder of that subsection, which, in her view, details how air traffic controllers must advise pilots of hazardous weather. We believe that Ms. LeGrande’s textual interpretation of the job order is a strained one that, when read in the context of the rest of the directive, would produce a decidedly unrealistic result.”
Affirmed.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Gottschall, J., Ripple, J.
