The maneuver was required to avoid an American Airlines plane that was departing from an intersecting runway. The incident is being treated as a potential safety event, and investigators will review available data associated with the flights. Details beyond the flight circumstances were not provided in the report, but the FAA investigation will focus on the sequence of events leading up to the proximity.
