FAA investigates event of one jet flying too close to another, though both crews responded to alerts and landed safelyThe US Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it was investigating a close call at New York’s John F Kennedy international airport between two passenger jets.“The crew of Republic Airways Flight 4464 performed a go-around at John F. Kennedy International Airport after missing the intended approach path and flying too close to Jazz Aviation Flight 554, which was cleared to land on a parallel runway. Both flight crews responded to onboard alerts,” the FAA said in a statement about the Monday incident.
The US Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it was investigating a close call at New York’s John F Kennedy international airport between two passenger jets.
“The crew of Republic Airways Flight 4464 performed a go-around at John F. Kennedy International Airport after missing the intended approach path and flying too close to Jazz Aviation Flight 554, which was cleared to land on a parallel runway. Both flight crews responded to onboard alerts,” the FAA said in a statement about the Monday incident.
“The FAA is investigating the event,” it added.
The two planes came within 350ft (107 meters) vertically and 0.62 miles horizontally at their closest points, according to flight-tracking service Flightradar24.
The two planes went around and landed without incident, according to an ABC News affiliate. In the air traffic control audio, anti-collision alarms were heard blaring in the tower and cockpit, the ABC affiliate reported.
Controllers told pilots in both planes to take evasive actions and the initial landing was aborted before the jets eventually made safe landings, according to the report.
The pilots told the controllers they were responding to the RA alarm, or “resolution advisories”, which is the most serious of the anti-collision warnings pilots can get, the report added.
Last month, New York’s LaGuardia airport witnessed a deadly collision when an Air Canada Express jet struck a fire truck, killing the plane’s two pilots.
