    A possible near midair collision between an American Airlines Airbus A321NEO flight number AAL345 and an Air Canada Airbus A220 flight number ACA782 shortly after departing KLAX . Both aircraft departed runway 25R, with a 54 second interval. According to flight data, ACA782 filed the ORCKA5 departure procedure, while AAL345 filed the DOTTS2 departure procedure. ADS-B data shows a distance of 0.63nm laterally, and 568ft vertically, with both aircraft responded to RA's.

      It's tough to judge without seeing a mode c altitude readout, they could have been separated by 1000ft+ vertically. TCAS RA's can trigger before minimum sep is lost. Also if they are both flying the RNAV DOCKR departure then their track should be the same and AAL wouldn't have been able to cut off ACA. In that case a speed restriction should be enough to prevent an overtake. Departure controller should have recognized it for sure, but someone wasn't flying the procedure.

    I fly these departures out of LAX quite frequently, but still to this day, don't understand why ATC starts giving headings immediately after takeoff instead of the original "climb via" instructions originally given in the clearance. There was no need to do that with the Air Canada flight. Just more shit to make something fairly simple much harder.

    • @Jmjbs

      That's the most likely explanation. To add to this, it seems like the departure controller was relieved in the middle of this. So it's likely the controller going on break told the relieving controller he issued the climb to Air Canada when he actually didn't. The relieving controller expected ACA to be leaving 5,000 before they would be an issue with American.

      You're probably right, but where did both get their clearances to 5000'? DOTTS2 is initial climb 17000' with DOCKR AoB 3000', WEILR AoB 5000' and DOTTS MNM 15000'. ORCKA5 on the other hand is initial climb FL230 also with DOCKR AoB 3000' and KLIPR MNM 10000'. I don't hear any instruction to climb 5000' only for either of the flights. Did KUSA give them that?

Once you get handed over to Departure they will either give you clearance to a higher altitude or a CLIMB VIA Clearance which would then clear you the rest of the way to 17,000' in this case. @@organfreak1212

    The controller forgot to climb Air Canada. Had AC been cleared to 12000 you wouldn’t be watching this. Instead, AC leveled at 5000, which is what AA was cleared to, causing the close call. Had AC been given the climb to 12000 on initial contact, as soon as they crossed American would have got the climb to 12000 too. Done correctly, this is a typical operation.

American right behind him was on his departure route which is basically a crosswind departure to the south with an eventual turn to the east south of long beach...... the Air Canada should have been allowed to fly west and gain altitude before that turn. Then the American would have been below and likely ahead of the Air Canada flight path

      The nature of the ORCKA needing a vector while other aircraft are own nav is a setup for a near miss like this or worse. Yes, it’s on ATC here to maintain the separation, but I’d think it would be easier to deconflict the traffic by designing the separation into the departure procedures so that no ATC instruction is necessary, and no conflict can occur.

      You're right. It's terrifying to think about two heavies colliding shortly after take-off, especially as there's usually suburbs and dense residential areas beneath the climb out /approach zones. Does seem bizarre to have two aircraft departing so close together and cleared to the same fix though - wouldn't it make sense to alternate the initial fix for such close departures? To be relying on assumed vertical separation seems very dicey.

I will try and make it easy to understand for you 😊 If ATC is expecting a certain minimum (or maximum) rate of climb, and/or a particular speed and you climb or fly slower / faster or change it then the ATC computer can only predict what it sees at that time, it may not be wrong as such but, the also TCAS (Traffic or Collision avoidance system in the aircraft, another prediction engine) predicts potential collisions based on where you and the other traffic are and what you are doing and if you continue to do it. If it thinks there will be a collision it gives you avoiding action, (an RA or Resolution). It may be you are still turning, speeding up / slowing down or starting / reducing a climb etc. in which case the prediction is maybe premature but you still have to follow it. It only gives CL

    OK. I am probably missing something here. Both aircraft where given RNAV to DOCKR and both cleared to climb 5000. After the transfer, Departure is keeping the clearance unchanged and restricts speed for AAL. I assume that the speed restriction is to keep them separated since they are on the same departure and cleared level.

    At first blush this looks like mostly an ATC issue, but both planes were supposed to be on RNAV to DOCKR departure which means they should have been on exactly the same track maintaining fixed horizontal separation. Either ACA782 turned left too late past DOCKR (or not to heading 220) or AAL345 turned left too early. To my eye it looks like AAL345 turned to 220 exactly where they were supposed to, while ACA782 was on like 230-235 and late. Had they been on same track in front of AAL345 there would have been no issue when ATC turned them to 110. It seemed odd that AAL345 tried to turn left inside ACA782 but I think again they were on the proper DOCKR - SHAEF track with a turn at SHAEF to 155, and with visual contact thought they could just fly underneath em until ATC got involved and made a mess of it.

In other words, there's immediate and real danger of a mid-air collision, and the TCAS systems in each plane are talking with each other to keep it from happening.

    Even before AC gets vectored on a 110 heading.... The two aircraft are not on the same fpath, even tho they've been cleared for the same DOCKR departure. This means on of them was either late with the turn (AC) or making an early shortcut without clearence.(AA) So in my opinion the controller and one of the aircraft crew made a mistake here.

    I am guessing that with today’s technology TCAS must have been going off like crazy in both of these cockpits?

    We’re missing comms. Who told American to turn inside Air Canada?

    The pilots should ask for a number they can call.
