From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-5)Eww 380 was level at 6000 ft. MSL. ATC cleared EWW338 to climb to 9000FE. MSL. EWW380 took the clearance in error and executed a climb. EEW380 read back the clearance and when they did not get a further response they initiated a climb to 9000 ft. MSL. ATC was forced to initiate a turn so as to avoid a collision with another aircraft. The aircraft missed each other by aprox. 500 ft. eww 380 was under the impression that their read back was correct and was unaware of the "near miss" until sometime later.
