A detection system installed at the airport prevented a crash, the agency said.
Interruptions, distractions and multitasking led to a near-collision between an American Airlines flight and a Delta flight moving at 120 MPH down a runway at John F. Kennedy International Airport last year, according to a report released on Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.
The taxi paths of the American B-777 and the Delta B-737 , based on ADS-B data, with times annotated at select locations."The other two flight crewmembers didn't catch the captain's error because they were both engaged in tasks that diverted their visual attention from outside the airplane," the agency said in a statement.
The NTSB has pushed for ASDE-X technology to be installed at airports since 1991. JFK installed its ASDE-X in 2009 and is one of 35 major airports to have it equipped, according to the NTSB."Our investigation also makes clear why we've long supported systems that warn flight crews of risks directly: because every second matters," NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said in a statement.
