NEW JERSEY-<\/strong> Amidst a year marked by numerous near-miss incidents at US airports and runways, another incident occurred, this time at Newark Liberty International Airport<\/a> in New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Aviation Administration<\/a> is currently probing an incident that occurred on October 9, in which a helicopter pilot came uncomfortably close to a departing United Airlines jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newark Airport Near-miss incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A multitude of near-disaster incidents have occurred, leading the FAA to convene an emergency meeting involving airport administrators at nearly 100 airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this recent occurrence, the helicopter pilot received guidance from an air traffic controller, alerting him to his close proximity to a departing United Airlines<\/a> plane on an adjacent runway. The air traffic controller had to direct the helicopter pilot to move away from the vicinity of the runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, there were no injuries in the near-miss incident, preventing a catastrophe. This issue continues to be a matter of ongoing concern, given the FAA’s recent emergency meeting less than two months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The United States aviation regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), reported 46 close calls in July and almost 300 near miss or near collision incidents this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aviation system in the United States is globally recognized as the safest, yet even a single near-miss incident is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aviation system in the United States is globally recognized as the safest, yet even a single near-miss incident is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, U.S. carriers have achieved a remarkable safety record since 2009, transporting more passengers than the global population without fatal crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A multitude of safety measures safeguard the well-being of travelers, encompassing various aspects: commercial aircraft are equipped with Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems, prominent airports deploy surface safety technology, and a robust set of protocols are in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both air traffic controllers and pilots assume pivotal roles in this safety network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
