The two planes passed each other by 200 feet.

Last month, there was a very near miss at the Austin, Texas, airport.

The Washington Post revealed on Tuesday that a fighter plane and a private airplane nearly collided on September 23. A early report from the Federal Aviation Administration that the publication saw stated that the two aircraft were only 200 feet apart. Fortunately, though, the private plane’s pilot avoided a crash by acting evasively. (It appears that the fighter plane passed a tiny propeller-powered aircraft that was taking off on a nearby airfield.)

The FAA said in a statement that it is looking into the near-catastrophe. The Cessna Citation private aircraft belonged to NetJets, which did not reply to the Post’s inquiries for information. The F/A-18 fighter jet is operated by the Marine Corps and the Navy; its operator is unknown. The newspaper also received no response from any branch of the military when it came to comments.

It appears that the pilot of the fighter jet had not informed the air traffic controller of his plans at the time of the incident. Records from the past indicate that when the military aircraft got closer to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the private aircraft was given the all-clear to land. In order to execute a “break,” in which the aircraft performs a sudden maneuver to lower its speed before landing, the fighter requested clearance. After about 30 seconds, the Cessna pilot reports that he received a proximity warning, and another person on the radio bemoans the fact that “that would have been nice to know.”

Meanwhile, an unidentified air traffic controller stated that he believed the fighter jet would begin to descend at a separate point during the break. That is refuted by the F/A-18 pilot, who asserts that there was probably a misunderstanding. The pilot requested a phone number after landing so he could speak with the air traffic control office about the situation.

A controller responds, “Yeah, I was going to give you the number here because I guess there was a miscommunication.” “I think I misinterpreted the request.”

The near-miss comes after a couple of comparable events this year: According to The Washington Post, there was another near miss at the Austin airport in February between a Southwest aircraft and a FedEx pilot. Additionally, in July, a flight attendant from Allegiant Air suffered injuries as the aircraft made an evasive maneuver to avoid colliding with a private aircraft.
