WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it was investigating a \u200cclose call at New York’s John F. Kennedy International \u200cAirport between two passenger jets.<\/p>\n
“The crew of Republic Airways Flight 4464 performed \u200ba 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. \u200cBoth flight crews responded \u2060to onboard alerts,” the FAA said in a statement about the Monday incident.<\/p>\n
“The FAA is investigating \u2060the event,” it added.<\/p>\n
The two planes came within 350 feet (106.68 meters) vertically and 0.62 miles (997.79 meters) horizontally at their closest points, \u200baccording to \u200bflight-tracking service Flightradar24.<\/p>\n
The two planes \u200bwent around and landed \u200cwithout 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.<\/p>\n
Controllers told pilots in both planes to take evasive actions and the initial landing \u200cwas aborted before the jets eventually \u200bmade safe landings, according to the \u200breport.<\/p>\n
The pilots told the \u200bcontrollers they were responding to the RA alarm, \u200cor “resolution advisories”, which is the \u200bmost serious of \u200bthe anti-collision warnings pilots can get, the report added.<\/p>\n
Last month, New York’s LaGuardia airport witnessed a deadly collision when \u200ban Air Canada \u200cExpress jet struck a fire truck, killing the plane’s \u200btwo pilots.<\/p>\n
