Read previewThe FAA has opened an investigation after two passengers were injured when a United Airlines plane responded to an alert from a midair collision system. AdvertisementThe FAA said in a statement that the flight responded to an onboard alert about another aircraft in the vicinity. The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) helps prevent midair collisions by monitoring the surrounding airspace and alerting pilots about nearby aircraft. The system sounds an alarm in the cockpit, and the pilots notify the air traffic controller that they are responding to a TCAS alarm, Kevin Karpé, a former air traffic controller and air traffic manager, previously told Business Insider. However, last year, concerns rose about a spike in the number of collision close calls taking place in the US.

☆ I'm a former air traffic controller and I'm not alarmed by the recent number of close call collisions. Passengers shouldn't be either — here's why.

Kevin Karpé spent 31 years as an air traffic controller and air traffic manager. He says despite the nationwide air traffic controller shortage, the system is managed by very professional people. I've spent 31 years with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as both an air traffic controller and air traffic manager. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhen a close call like that occurs, an air traffic controller may have put the air carriers in that position. AdvertisementAdvertisementToday if an air traffic controller has an operational error they can voluntarily report the incident using the Air Traffic Safety Action Program (ATSAP).
