A pilot on a regional Delta Air Lines flight reported a small plane getting too close as the passenger jet approached John F. Kennedy Airport on Monday.
According to air traffic control audio recordings, an air traffic controller warned the pilot of the Delta plane, operated by Endeavor Air, of a personal aircraft, noting that they were not in contact with the small plane, made by Cirrus, and that the plane was about 500 feet above them. The Endeavor pilot initially told the controller they got a traffic advisory, which alerts pilots of any traffic nearby.
Later, the Endeavor pilot tells the controller they got a resolution advisory, which is a warning from the collision avoidance system which provides pilots with specific instructions to avoid a collision. Preliminary data from Flightradar24, shows there was about 475 feet of vertical separation between the two aircraft as their paths crossed.
