In Boston, the incidents are repeating themselves in the recent past, because the number of near misses is increasing. As JetBlue Flight 206 initiates all landing measures, the pilot of a Learjet 60 takes off. This leads to the following consequence: the FAA is now investigating the safety architecture in the US aviation system.

The event unfolds as follows: The pilot of a Learjet 60 continues to take off and ignores instructions from an air traffic controller to wait for Jetblue Flight 206 to land. Although he not only took note of this, but also confirmed it, he is beginning to initiate the launch. As a result, according to radar data, the distance between the two planes is approximately 180 meters. This is far too little and from the point of view of the FAA a clear push against applicable safety regulations.

Due to multiple incidents of this category at US airports, the FAA considers the examination of the security architecture in the US aviation system to be essential.
