los angeles International Airport” rel=”154527”>Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) An exciting flight safety incident occurred on the morning of November 7. An Air France passenger plane deviated from its course without permission after takeoff and entered the flight path of an American Airlines passenger plane. Both the passenger planes narrowly avoided colliding in the air. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said air traffic control personnel immediately issued corrective instructions to the Air France passenger plane. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
People magazine reported that the accident occurred around 12:20 a.m. on November 7, involving Air France flight AF028 and an American Airlines passenger plane. The FAA told “People” that Air France flight AF028 “made an unauthorized turn” after leaving the airport and then entered the path of another plane taking off from the parallel runway.
The FAA reported that air traffic controllers immediately issued correction instructions to the Air France passenger plane. Air traffic control call recordings show that the controller immediately warned the Air France crew: “Air France 028, immediately turn 270 degrees… Attention traffic warning, there is an aircraft at 12 o’clock, less than 1 mile, maintain altitude 2,000 feet.”
Subsequently, the controller again asked the Air France pilot why he deviated from the original route and reminded the other person: “Air France 028, you were instructed to climb with standard instrument departure procedure, not to turn to the specified heading.”
When the controller further asked the crew what procedures they were following, the pilot replied: “Give me a moment.” The controller replied: “No problem.” Another pilot later stated that the crew had originally been instructed to fly according to the “SUMMR TWO” departure procedure, and the first pilot also confirmed this statement.
An Air France spokesperson confirmed to KTLA-TV that flight AF028 took off from Los Angeles to Papeete, Tahiti on November 7 and received a request from air traffic control to adjust its flight path shortly after takeoff.
An Air France statement said: “The crew immediately followed instructions and then continued the flight.” The aircraft finally landed in Papeete at 5:59 am local time. No one was injured in the incident, KTLA reported.
