Default 16th runway safety lapse at Logan since October 2004

BOSTON — A jet was forced to abort its takeoff when another plane
crossed onto its runway, the second such incident in just over a week at
Logan International Airport.
The American Airlines jet was moving into position for takeoff when an
American Eagle regional jet that had just landed crossed the runway,
said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters. He did not
know how many people were on the planes.The jet's clearance for takeoff
was canceled, and the FAA is investigating whether the pilot of the
American Eagle plane or air traffic controllers were at fault.

Peters could not say how close the planes had come to colliding Tuesday,
but The Boston Globe quoted an aviation source familiar with the
investigation saying they came within 1,000 feet of each other.It was
the 16th runway safety lapse at Logan since October 2004. Officials say
they have found no link between the incidents, though they have cited
Logan's cramped runways as a reason why problems occur there with such
frequency. The airport is the nation's 17th busiest.

On Sept. 27, a FedEx cargo jet that had just started its takeoff came
within 2,000 feet of a twin-propeller plane crossing the same runway.In
the most serious incident, on June 9, an Aer Lingus Airbus A330 and a US
Airways Boeing 737, carrying a combined 381 passengers and crew, came
within 170 feet and a few seconds of colliding as both were taking off.
FAA officials blamed errors by two air traffic controllers, both of whom
were suspended and sent for retraining.
