One technical observer attributed the TCV to slow pilot and
aircraft response. It was indicated that ATC instructions were
not followed. A second technical observer also cited slow pilot
response as the cause of the TCV. The observer wrote, @@AWE234
NORDO. 17R controller recognized blunder immediately. It
appeared that there was a comm problem with 16 pilot.'@
The controller for runway 16 (i.e., evading aircraft runway)
wrote that the blunder was self-identified with the aid of the
alert system. To prevent a recurrence of a similar operational
error, the controller suggested that, @Ipilots be trained for
listening skills. @@
The controller for the blundering aircraft runway (i.e., 17R)
cited @@numerous slow pilot responses,@@ and commented that @@NWA893
on RWY 16 was extremely slow responding.@@
