The 2023 incident involving American Airlines and Delta planes underscores the need for advanced cockpit warning systems.

NTSB identifies pilot distractions and multitasking as key factors in the near-collision.
A ground-based detection system at JFK alerted controllers, preventing a potential disaster.
Only 35 major U.S. airports currently have the recommended detection technology installed.
NTSB recommends installing systems that directly warn pilots of ground navigation errors.
