The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a near miss at JFK between Republic Airways Flight 4464 and Air Canada Express Flight 8554. The incident unfolded on parallel approaches when Republic 4464 missed its intended path and pilots received a resolution advisory, prompting a go-around. FAA officials say both crews responded to onboard collision warnings and the flights landed or diverted safely with no reported injuries. The agency opened a formal inquiry and said the JFK event is separate from an ongoing probe of a recent Nashville near miss.

A United Airlines flight diverted to Pittsburgh over a reported security threat, and emergency slides were deployed, officials say.

A pilot told investigators that a tour helicopter vibrated and spun before crashing near Kauai, Hawaii, recently, killing three people. Authorities identified the account in preliminary National Transportation Safety Board briefings reported by ABC News.

A UPS cargo jet aborted its landing this week at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport after a smaller plane entered the runway without authorization. The Federal Aviation Administration said the smaller aircraft, calling itself Skylab 25, turned onto the runway without authorization and air traffic control ordered the UPS 767 to go around. FAA said required separation between UPS Flight 1303 and Skylab 25 was maintained, though audio shows a controller shouting, "What are you doing?" UPS told reporters the go-around was conducted safely with no injuries and no operational impact, and described the maneuver as a standard procedure.
