British Airways flight BA2666, an Airbus A320-232, was involved in an airprox incident with CS-DVH, a Cessna 525B Citation CJ3.
A TCAS-RA was triggered in the approach phase.
Probable causes:
The occurrence of this event was primarily due to inappropriate air traffic management by the Radar Approach Controller on duty at Marrakech Menara Airport, which includes the following:
- Non-compliance with the procedure for vertical and horizontal separation of aircraft in motion;
- Lack of response from the controllers on duty to radar alarms;
- Loss of situational awareness in response to radar alarms.
Contributory factors:
The presence of a controller to manage air traffic, without any effective assistance either at their workstation or from the supervisor, certainly inhibited cross-checks to prevent the occurrence of this event.
Moreover, unfamiliarity with such situations exacerbated by the non-compliance with current separation procedures could be one of the contributing factors to this ATM event.
