FAA is making the rules imposed after an airliner collided with an Army helicopter permanent
The temporary rules imposed after last year’s collision of an airliner and an Army helicopter to improve the safety of the crowded airspace around Washington D.C. are being made permanent, the government announced Thursday.
The Federal Aviation Administration took steps to make sure that helicopters and airplanes would no longer share the same airspace around Reagan National Airport shortly after the investigation into the Jan. 29 crash began. The rules also prohibit air traffic controllers from relying on visual separation and require all military aircraft to broadcast their locations.
The National Transportation Safety Board plans to hold a hearing next Tuesday to detail everything that contributed to the deadliest plane crash on American soil since 2001.
Helicopter flights now banned near Reagan National Airport
WASHINGTON (7News) — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a permanent ban on helicopter flights near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
This decision comes nearly a year after a tragic mid-air collision on Jan. 29 of last year, which resulted in the deaths of 67 people when a passenger jet and a Blackhawk helicopter collided over the Potomac River.
“After that horrific night in January, this Administration made a promise to do whatever it takes to secure the skies over our nation’s capital and ensure such a tragedy would never happen again,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
