Two aircraft narrowly avoided a collision over the weekend, FAA says days after safety summit

Two aircraft had a near-miss over the weekend at the Hollywood Burbank Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday, days after holding a summit to address rising safety concerns.

A Southwest flight was approaching a runway at the Burbank airport at 9:52 a.m. Saturday when an air traffic controller noticed a helicopter was on that same runway, according to a statement from the FAA. The helicopter, a Bell 505, had been practicing touch-and-go landings.
