“Close Calls” – This is how common near misses are in the air

Date:

The sky is huge, but even there traffic can be a problem. So-called ‘close calls’ – that is, near misses – are more common in the US than you might think. Most incidents are generally not made public.

In the travel month of July alone, US air traffic control recorded 46 close calls in commercial aviation, according to research by the New York Times. Calculated throughout the year, there are several incidents per week this year.

According to the US report, most of the incidents occurred at or near airports and were largely due to human error. Errors made by air traffic controllers can be attributed to a lack of staff and the resulting excessive demands.
