B738 / A321, Sarasota-Bradenton FL USA, 2023

Summary

On 16 February 2023, an Airbus A321 crew did not promptly begin a night takeoff from Sarasota runway 14 on receiving clearance after confirming that the flight was ready for takeoff. The crew had been advised of a Boeing 737-800 at 3 miles to land on the same runway. When the A321 was still rolling as the 737 crossed the runway threshold, the 737 crew announced they were commencing a go-around. This alerted the controller, who was working alone, to a potential airborne conflict. He instructed the 737 to immediately begin a right turn which created 0.6 nm of same-altitude horizontal separation.
