American Airlines pilots involved in a near-collision on a runway in New York last month will appear for interviews with the National Transportation Safety Board, their union said Wednesday, complying with subpoenas the agency issued last week
jet last month at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The American Airlines plane taxied across the wrong runway—not the one that air-traffic controllers had cleared the pilots to cross—where a Delta flight was accelerating for takeoff. Technology alerted air-traffic controllers to the potential conflict, and a controller instructed the Delta flight to stop its takeoff. The NTSB has said the two planes were about 1,400 feet apart at their closest point.
A spokesman for the NTSB said Wednesday that it looks forward to hearing the flight crew members’ accounts. An American Airlines representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The NTSB said it had received written statements from the flight crew members involved but wanted to interview the American Airlines pilots as well. The agency said that it had tried to speak with them three times and that the airline had cleared the pilots’ schedules to ensure they would be available.
The subpoenas issued to the three American Airlines pilots on Feb. 10 sought to compel them to appear at the safety board’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and gave them seven days to respond. Having a transcript of the pilots’ accounts of the conversation leading up to the runway incident was particularly important because the audio captured by the plane’s cockpit voice recorder was no longer available, the agency said last week. The recorder’s two hours of audio capacity was overwritten after the flight departed from New York to London.
