The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a “close call” between a JetBlue and Learjet flight that occurred at the Boston Logan International Airport, Massachusetts, on Feb. 27.
The incident occurred before 7 p.m. Eastern time. According to the FAA’s preliminary review, an air traffic controller had asked the pilot of the Learjet 60 to line up and wait on Runway 9 while JetBlue Flight 206 landed on Runway 4-Right that intersects Runway 9. However, the pilot of the Learjet flight took off despite not getting the clearance.
“The Learjet pilot read back the instructions clearly, but began a takeoff roll instead. The pilot of the JetBlue aircraft took evasive action and initiated a climb-out as the Learjet crossed the intersection. The Learjet was operated by Hop-A-Jet, a private charter company. The FAA will determine the closest proximity between the two aircraft as part of the investigation,” said the FAA in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times…. Source
