NTSB反对在2024年坠机后会削弱安全规则的国防法案条款,警告它可能危及飞行。 The NTSB opposes a defense bill provision that would weaken safety rules after a 2024 crash, warning it could endanger flights.

由Jennifer Homendy主席领导的NTSB强烈反对2025年《国防授权法》中的一项规定,即在2024年1月里根国家机场附近空中碰撞造成67人死亡后,将取消安全措施。 The NTSB, led by Chair Jennifer Homendy, has strongly opposed a provision in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act that would roll back safety measures following the January 2024 mid-air collision near Reagan National Airport that killed 67 people. Homendy称这一条款为“安全洗白”条款,并警告说它将重新创造危险条件,同时指出在起草过程中没有与该机构协商。 Homendy called the provision a "safety whitewash" and warned it would recreate dangerous conditions, noting the agency was not consulted during drafting. 该法案将允许军用飞机根据过时的规则运作,有可能避免强制性的ADS-B跟踪技术。 The bill would allow military aircraft to operate under outdated rules, potentially avoiding mandatory ADS-B tracking technology. 批评者,包括参议员和受害者家属,敦促通过两党核查法,要求对所有飞机进行现代跟踪,并减少军事豁免。 Critics, including senators and victims’ families, urge adoption of the bipartisan ROTOR Act to require modern tracking for all aircraft and reduce military exemptions.
