Exclusive: American Airlines' largest regional carrier gets FAA warning
CNN
A commuter jet was seconds away from landing at a regional airport in Illinois last March when the pilots realized they'd made a potentially fatal mistake: They were aimed at the wrong runway.
Had the plane not diverted at the last second, there was a "high probability" the plane would not have had room to stop, an inspector later concluded, which would have been a "potentially catastrophic situation." This close call is one of multiple instances of alleged pilot error included in a Federal Aviation Administration warning to Envoy Air, the largest regional carrier for American Airlines.More Related News
