An automated surveillance system alerted the controller of the situation and the descent was called off, the FAA said. No injuries or damage were reported.
The FAA said in a statement it is investigating the"go-around" and said it is not yet clear how close the two planes came. That will be determined in their review.
"The controller had previously cleared the Citation to land on Runway 27 and then instructed Southwest Flight 2493 to taxi onto that runway and wait for instructions to depart. The facility’s automated surface surveillance system alerted the controller about the developing situation. John Cox, a pilot with decades of experience, says that's part of a layered system of protection in place for cases just like this one.
