An American Airlines flight had to “perform an accelerated climb” to avoid a mountain during a routine departure from Hawaii on Wednesday.

The plane had just departed from Honolulu International Airport and was en route to Los Angeles International Airport.

Air traffic control can hear the pilot say, “Turn right and speed your climb through the terrain” on audio of the flight provided by LIVEATC.NET.

According to a Federal Aviation Administration statement, “an air traffic controller instructed American Airlines Flight 298 to execute an accelerated climb after the crew failed to make the assigned turn upon departure from Honolulu International Airport.”

The FAA statement continued: “The controller’s actions kept the aircraft safely over nearby terrain.”

“The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority,” American Airlines said in a statement.

“During the climb out of Honolulu on November 13, the crew of American Airlines Flight 298 requested and received permission to turn right and complied with the controller’s instructions. There was no Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) warning because there was no issues were with the terrain clearance based on the trajectory of the aircraft,” the statement continued.

The incident took place around 1 a.m. local time on Wednesday.

The FAA will continue to investigate.
