Narrative:

Air carrier X landing on runway 09 at mci, another company aircraft (also an small transport) was departing on runway 19. The tower controller (a trnee) issued us a visibility landing clearance and also a clearance to land on runway 09. The controller also issued air carrier Y (departing 19) takeoff clearance and fly runway heading. The full performance level controller saw the collision course take shape and issued air carrier Y and immediate left turn to 270 degree and remain north of the localizer for 09. Unfortunately he used the wrong flight # and when finally realizing his mistake (after being asked by air carrier Y) used the correct flight # for the immediate turn. Air carrier Y turned to 270 degrees in a 50-60 degree bank, 200' AGL to stay out of the airspace we were using on approach. Our course was not altered due to the fact air carrier Y was not in visibility sight by us. Trnee/fpl controller need better communication skills (within the tower) and with aircraft. The captain of air carrier Y and the fpl controller alleviated an accident, but the situation in the first place is inexcusable. Training must take place, but a better monitoring method is needed.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR Y HAD NMAC IN ATA WITH ACR X.

Narrative: ACR X LNDG ON RWY 09 AT MCI, ANOTHER COMPANY ACFT (ALSO AN SMT) WAS DEPARTING ON RWY 19. THE TWR CTLR (A TRNEE) ISSUED US A VIS LNDG CLRNC AND ALSO A CLRNC TO LAND ON RWY 09. THE CTLR ALSO ISSUED ACR Y (DEPARTING 19) TKOF CLRNC AND FLY RWY HDG. THE FULL PERFORMANCE LEVEL CTLR SAW THE COLLISION COURSE TAKE SHAPE AND ISSUED ACR Y AND IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN TO 270 DEG AND REMAIN N OF THE LOC FOR 09. UNFORTUNATELY HE USED THE WRONG FLT # AND WHEN FINALLY REALIZING HIS MISTAKE (AFTER BEING ASKED BY ACR Y) USED THE CORRECT FLT # FOR THE IMMEDIATE TURN. ACR Y TURNED TO 270 DEGS IN A 50-60 DEG BANK, 200' AGL TO STAY OUT OF THE AIRSPACE WE WERE USING ON APCH. OUR COURSE WAS NOT ALTERED DUE TO THE FACT ACR Y WAS NOT IN VIS SIGHT BY US. TRNEE/FPL CTLR NEED BETTER COM SKILLS (WITHIN THE TWR) AND WITH ACFT. THE CAPT OF ACR Y AND THE FPL CTLR ALLEVIATED AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE IS INEXCUSABLE. TRNING MUST TAKE PLACE, BUT A BETTER MONITORING METHOD IS NEEDED.
