洛杉矶国际机场法航客机起飞后错转航向 与美航客机仅差约400英尺
11月7日清晨，美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市洛杉矶国际机场上空，两架刚起飞的客机险些相撞。
法航28号航班空客客机从一条跑道起飞后，本应按公布的 SUMMR TWO 标准离场程序爬升，却向左偏离指定航线，闯入了同时从附近跑道起飞的美航客机航路。美航客机目的地为德克萨斯州达拉斯—沃斯堡，法航客机目的地为法属波利尼西亚帕皮提。航管员在无线电中多次追问法航机组为何转向，并紧急指令其立即转向270度航向，同时警告美航机组：「12点方向有飞机，不到1英里，保持2,000英尺。」据飞行追踪数据，两机垂直距离一度仅约400英尺。
两机合计载客约500人，最终都继续飞往目的地，无人受伤。航管员事后告诉法航机组，此事可能按「飞行员偏离指令」处理，并给了对方一个电话号码以便联系航管部门。联邦航空管理局预计将调查这起事件，以确定机组是否未按指令飞行、是否采取进一步措施；截至11月8日，事故原因尚未公布，联邦航空管理局也未就此回应。

Air France Jet Makes Wrong Turn After Takeoff at LAX, Coming Within About 400 Feet of an American Airlines Plane
Two airliners that had just taken off came close to colliding over Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, on the morning of November 7.
Air France Flight 28, an Airbus, was supposed to climb out on the published SUMMR TWO departure procedure but turned left off its assigned course into the path of an American Airlines jet that had taken off from a nearby runway at the same time. The American flight was bound for Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; the Air France flight for Papeete, French Polynesia. Controllers repeatedly asked the Air France crew why it was turning, urgently instructed it to turn to a heading of 270 degrees, and warned the American crew: "Traffic at 12 o'clock, less than a mile, maintain 2,000 feet." Flight-tracking data showed the two aircraft came within about 400 feet vertically.
The two planes carried about 500 passengers combined; both continued to their destinations and no one was injured. Controllers later told the Air France crew the incident might be handled as a pilot deviation and gave them a phone number to contact air traffic control. The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to investigate whether the crew failed to follow instructions and whether further action is warranted; as of November 8, no cause had been announced and the FAA had not responded.
