A mid-air disaster was averted last week when an IndiGo plane which was on a collision course with an Indian Air Force (IAF) in Chennai airspace steered away to safety following an auto-generated warning, a source said.
The two aircraft were just “300 ft” away from each other at the time of the incident on May 21 which set off a Resolution advisory (RA) for the IndiGo pilot to steer the aircraft to a safer distance, the sources said.
RA is an auto-generated warning in the cockpit for the pilot to manoeuvre the aircraft and avoid collision.
