2016-07-28 · Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport · C206 / DHC2 · Category B
TA/C 2/DHC2 WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF WEST WATERLANE. TA/C 1/C206 CALLED FROM THE FISH AND WILDLIFE COVE, REQUESTING TO TAXI VIA THE SLOW CHANNEL TO THE WEST WATERLANE FOR A NORTHBOUND DEPARTURE. LOCAL CONTROL INSTRUCTED C206 TO TAXI VIA THE SLOW CHANNEL TO THE WEST WATERLANE. HOWEVER LC WAS DISTRACTED, MOOSE WERE OBSERVED INSIDE THE FENCE LINE IN THE VICINITY OF THE GRAVEL STRIP. LC WAS UNAWARE THAT C206 WAS IN THE FISH AND WILDLIFE COVE AND THUS FAILED TO HOLD THE C206 SHORT OF THE WEST WATERLANE FOR THE DEPARTING DHC2. C206 CROSSED THE WEST WATERLANE WITHOUT A CLEARANCE IN ROUTE TO THE SLOW CHANNEL AND IN FRONT OF THE DEPARTING DHC2. C206 ADVISED LC THAT, BASICALLY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUNWAY WHEN HE WENT RIGHT OVER MY HEAD. ADDITIONALLY PILOT OF C206 COMMENTED TO LC, ... GOOD JOB OF PILOTS (DHC2) THEY AVOIDED ME. LOSS OF SEPARATION, TOWER ESTIMATED CLOSEST PROXIMITY WAS 200 FEET VERTICAL.

Counts are reported events, not a danger ranking. Before FY2008 the FAA used a narrower definition, so earlier years are not directly comparable.
