WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation

Administration said Friday it taking steps to address safety

issues involving general aviation and business jets after a

serious Feb. 25 near-miss incident in Chicago.

The FAA said it will initiate safety-risk analysis of

close encounters between pilots flying visually and pilots

flying under air traffic control after holding a meeting

Thursday with general and business aviation groups. Last month a

Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) flight was forced to abort a landing

at Chicago Midway and narrowly avoided a collision with a

business jet that entered the runway without authorization.
