U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Announces Permanent FAA Actions to Secure Airspace Over Nation’s Capital Following NTSB Preliminary Report

Excerpt:  “U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy today held a press conference to announce that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is accepting both of the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) safety recommendations, including permanently restricting non-essential helicopter operations around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and eliminating mixed helicopter and fixed wing traffic. This is a continuation of the immediate action Secretary Duffy and the FAA took to restrict air space for helicopter operations following the tragic January 29 mid-air collision near DCA. … The announcement followed the release of the National Transportation Safety Board’s preliminary report.”
