A close call came at the Laguardia airport when two aircraft recently occurred after a clear misconception between controllers in the form of a near-speculation.On May 6 at 12:35 pm, American Eagle Flight AA4736 operated by Republic Airways, had to stop its takeoff process to prevent a possible collision.ABC News reported that the incident came to light when an air traffic controller initially approved the American Eagle flight for takeoff, while United Airlines flight UA2657 was still on the same runway, said ABC News.According to flight radar 24 data, the two aircraft came within 0.27 miles of each other before the Republic Airways flight was successfully terminated.The controller accepted the error and said: “Sorry about Bricyard 4736, I felt that United had earlier approved well,” and directed the flight to keep the flight in position by solving the position with the joint aircraft.The program follows a previous event in February when a southwest aircraft at Midway Airport in Chicago performed a Go-Around after crossing the active runway of a business jet during its landing approach.In response to these recurring incidents, the FAA is implementing increased runway security systems at various airports across the country.According to AP, a ground controller on a separate radio frequency on a separate radio frequency was instructing a ground controller to navigate a joint aircraft in a separate taxiway.On Monday, investigation was launched by both Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board.Laguardia Airport is one of the 35 American features equipped with ASDS-X, an advanced FAA radar system designed to prevent runway events. Despite this technique, the frequency of the runway in the last decade remains stable on the operation of 30 per 1 million airports per 1 million.Other 490 US airports work with basic control towers, where employees still rely on basic equipment, including binoculars for the ground aircraft monitoring.Transport Secretary Sean Dafi demanded the approval of the Congress for its multinational-dollar modernization scheme for air traffic control infrastructure. In his recent statement, Dafi criticized the current technique, depending on the “copper wire and floppy disk”.Lagardia has indicated a plan to implement additional safety measures to prevent similar conflict events.The incident combines to a series of aviation related problems at major American airports.
