FAA Urges Airlines to Increase Safety Measures After Near-Incidents
TL;DR
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an "aviation safety call to action" after several near-misses at US airports in recent months. The FAA urged airlines to reinforce adherence to published processes and procedures and to evaluate information collected through their safety management processes. There have been six significant close calls on runways so far this year, prompting the agency to hold a safety summit last week. The National Transportation Safety Board Chair warned that these recent incidents must serve as a wake-up call for everyone before something more catastrophic occurs.
