NTSB主席女主席Jennifer Homendy强调指出,联邦航空管理局(FAA)自2011年以来掌握的数据显示,每月发生碰撞警报,原因是飞机和直升机之间几近失事,但并未采取任何行动。 NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy highlighted that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had data since 2011 showing monthly collision alarms due to near misses between planes and helicopters, but no action was taken. 民航局目前正在审查数据,并在飞机起飞和着陆期间关闭了里根国家机场附近的直升机路线,以防止共用领空。 The FAA is now reviewing data and has closed a helicopter route near Reagan National Airport during plane takeoffs and landings to prevent shared airspace.
