This sent the flying machine into the way of an Air Canada flight and near landscape on the San Gabriel Mountains.The controller understood the error and told the EVA Airlines team, who figured out how to get the plane onto the right way before anything happened.The two planes remained the required separation separated, a Federal Aviation Administration official told CBSLA.
