NEW YORK-<\/strong> On April 9, 2024, Tuesday night’s taxi for takeoff at New York JFK, an American Airlines (AA) <\/a>flight attendant sustained ‘serious’ injuries, while another crew member suffered minor injuries due to the pilots of a Boeing 777<\/a> applying excessive braking force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, American Airlines flight AA106<\/strong>, scheduled for London Heathrow (LHR)<\/a>, departed nearly two hours behind schedule on April 9, as it had to return to the gate for medical assistance to the affected flight attendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Airlines Flight Attendant Injured<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) <\/a>stated that they would investigate the incident but refrained from commenting on the severity of the injuries sustained by the crew members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA disclosed in an emailed statement to PYOK that American Airlines Flight 106 returned to the terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport around 8:15 p.m. local time after the crew reported a medical issue during taxiing for takeoff. The flight was destined for Heathrow Airport in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, American Airlines Flight 106 gained international attention in January 2023 when its pilots inadvertently taxied onto an active runway, where a Delta Air Lines (DL) <\/a>jet bound for Santo Domingo had already received clearance for departure and was accelerating down the runway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Delta pilots managed to halt their aircraft in time to prevent a collision, the AA pilots were permitted to proceed with their flight to London following the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon the aircraft’s arrival at Heathrow and the commencement of the investigation, it was discovered that the cockpit voice recorder had already been overwritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, cockpit voice recorders on US-registered aircraft only capture two hours of data, despite opposition from pilots who advocate for extending the recording time to 25 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021, European airlines have been mandated to equip newly delivered jets with 25-hour cockpit voice recorders, while the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been advocating for longer-duration CVRs for the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
