NTSB

After the regional jet-helicopter crash near DCA, the FAA faces scrutiny of its handling of reports noting the risks of mixing helicopters and commercial flights.

NTSB and the FAA are investigating the March 13 incident that started while the American Airlines 737-800 was taxiing to a gate at Denver International Airport.

The agency on March 14 released several safety steps it is taking in the aftermath of the late-January fatal midair collision.

American has opened an Office of Continued Care and Outreach as it shifts to a “longer-term” response following the Jan. 29 crash of American Eagle Flight 5342.

The board’s recommendations, made public March 11, call on the FAA to prohibit helicopter operations east of Reagan National (DCA) when Runway 15/33 is in use.

The cause of the January 2023 runway incursion between a United Airlines Boeing 777 and a Kamaka Air Cessna 208 at Honolulu's Daniel K Inouye International Airport (HNL) was not surprising.

The cockpit voice recorder did not record the moments before a Learjet 55 medical jet crashed earlier this year in a Philadelphia neighborhood, the NTSB said.

Helicopter routes that pass closest to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) should be permanently suspended, Airlines For America (A4A) said.

Are HondaJet’s runway excursions statistical outliers or indications to reevaluate the pilot-vehicle interface?

The commercial jet was within seconds of touching down on Runway 31C when it accelerated and climbed over the Challenger; the NTSB and FAA are investigating.

A team led by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada is just starting its work on the Feb. 17 crash of a Delta Connection MHIRJ CRJ-900 at Toronto Pearson.

Investigators have determined parts of two messages from a controller in the DCA tower may not have been heard by pilots in the UH-60H Black Hawk.

Constraints on arrival traffic at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) are easing slightly.

Despite decades of accident-free flying, pilot reports pointed to the risks of a collision between helicopters and commercial aircraft in Washington airspace.

Air traffic is being reduced at DCA as two secondary runways are temporarily closed following the Jan. 29 mid-air collision just east of the airport.

The Jan. 29 collision of an American Airlines CRJ-700 with an Army UH-60L Black Hawk was the worst aviation accident in the U.S. since 2009. Aviation Week editors discuss potential contributing factors and the consequences for future flight operations around DCA.

Multiple NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System reports from the past two decades detail close encounters between commercial aircraft and helicopters near DCA.

Among the key new details confirmed by NTSB: The CRJ crew received at least one alert from its traffic collision avoidance system about 20 sec. before the collision.

NTSB investigators are confident that data from all three recorders recovered from the midair collision accident site near DCA will be extracted with no issues.

After a collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk, changes to airspace procedures near Washington DC are being implemented.

A manifest is not yet available. In the meantime, friends, neighbors, colleagues and family members are checking in with one another.

An NTSB-led investigation is in full swing to identify factors that led to the collision between an American Eagle CRJ-700 and a U.S. Army helicopter.

Several young figure skaters, their coaches and family members from the Washington, D.C., area were on American Airlines Flight 5342 Jan. 29 when it collided midair with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River.

South Korea's Transport Ministry said the last 4 min. of Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216 data was not captured by the flight data or cockpit voice recorder.

The precursors to the Boeing 737-800’s belly landing and fatal runway overrun remain unclear.
