Incident: United B738 and Expressjet E145 at Newark on Apr 24th 2014, near collision close to ground

A United Boeing 737-800, registration N77520 performing flight UA-1243 from San Francisco,CA to Newark,NJ (USA), was on final approach to Newark's runway 29 descending through about 400 feet AGL at about 15:02L (19:02Z).

An Expressjet Embraer ERJ-145 on behalf of United, registration N11176 performing flight EV-4100/UA-4100 from Newark,NJ to Memphis,TN (USA), was rotating for takeoff from runway 04R at the same time.

At that point tower instructed UA-1243 to go around and instructed EV-4100 to maintain visual separation to the traffic to their right. The Embraer crew stopped the climb close to ground reporting they "took the nose down" and "he is real close" restating upon hand off to departure "it was really close".

The Boeing positioned for another approach and landed safely at Newark about 11 minutes later. The Embraer reached Memphis without further incident for a safe landing there, too.

The FAA opened an investigation into the possible loss of separation erroneously stating flight UA-29 was involved.

On Apr 25th 2014 the NTSB opened their investigation into the loss of separation incident at Newark.
