A pilot who nearly landed a private jet on top of a commercial jetliner on Friday apparently noticed the other plane still on the runway, and investigators say collision was avoided by less than 100 feet.
The head of the National Transportation Safety Board tells CNN that a Cessna Citation coming in for landing on San Diego International Airport’s runway 27 Friday came “within 100 feet” of Southwest Airlines flight 2493.The detail provided Monday by NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy comes as her agency is investigating the incident known as a runway incursion, the seventh being probed by investigators since the start of this year.
The agency says collision warning alarms alerted air traffic controllers “about the developing situation,” and controllers ordered the crew of the Citation to abort their landing and go around.
