Helicopter flights at Washington’s Reagan airport should be partially banned amid ‘intolerable risk’ of collisions with planes – investigators
It comes after 67 people were killed in a mid-air collision between a military helicopter and an American Airlines flight as the plane was coming into land at the airport. The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has said helicopter operations near planes at the airport pose an “intolerable risk” to aviation safety. As the NTSB issued its preliminary report into January’s deadly crash, chair Jennifer Homendy said the board was calling for action to prevent a similar catastrophe from reoccurring.
