B738 / E75L, San Diego USA, 2021

Summary

On 10 June 2021, an Embraer 170-200LR was cleared to line up and wait on runway 27 at San Diego with a Boeing 737-800 already cleared to land on the same runway. The occupied runway led to ASDE-X activation, which prompted a controller go-around instruction to the 737 when it was less than a mile from the runway's displaced threshold. However, this was blocked by an undetected simultaneous transmission from the B737. The 737 manoeuvred around the E170 that was vacating the runway as per the ATC instruction, before touching down beyond it.

Description

On 10 June 2021, a Boeing 737-800 (N8674B) operated by Southwest Airlines on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Phoenix to San Diego as SWA1648 deviated around an Embraer 170-200LR operated by SkyWest on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from San Diego to San Francisco as SKW3371, which was on the runway prior to touching down. The 737 was cleared land but an instruction to go around was not received due to simultaneous transmissions. The E170 was attempting to exit the same runway after being instructed to do so following an earlier line up and wait clearance on it.
