FAA planning more helicopter route changes after fatal collision
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is planning additional helicopter route changes near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after the January 29 mid-air collision of an American Airlines regional jet and an Army helicopter that killed 67 people.
At their closest points, helicopters and planes routinely flew within 75 feet near the airport, according to the NTSB.
But Jack Jarvis, a contractor who evaluated the tower's staffing level, said it wasn't healthy — and when he reported his findings, he was silenced.
