A passenger jet from Washington DC and an army helicopter, a federal review of helicopter protection around some US airports that were persuaded by a deadly middle clash in January in the publication of dangerous flying at Las Vegas Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday that the possibility of collision between aircraft tours helicopters and aircraft at Harry Red International Airport had led to instant changes to the agency. In the first three weeks after the implementation, the number of clashes for aircraft has decreased by 30%.
FAA said after the collision between the American Airlines jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter in January, 67 67 people were killed that Boston, Baltimor-Washington, Detroit, Detroit, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal. The millions of reports that have been collected are planned to use artificial intelligence to excavate.
FAA acting administrator Chris Rocheli also said that after the excavation of agency data, Las Vegas became anxious as the contracts with helicopter operators did not clearly define the need for vertical and lateral separation when helicopters arrived at the airport. And the tower’s air traffic controllers were not providing traffic advice between helicopters and aircraft.
“We have taken positive control over helicopters and giving quick action with pilots to provide more traffic suggestions,” said Rochheliu. He promised to take additional steps at Las Vegas and other airports where the FAA concerned.
Clark County Airplane Department spokesman Luke Nimmo has mentioned all the questions about the search to FAA.
A sightseeing helicopter in New York City killed six people after the Hudson River on April 10, saying the FAA said they were establishing a Rulmeting Committee to develop recommendations to improve commercial aviation tour.
Former National Transport Protection Board and FAA investigator Jeff Guzeti said the clash warnings for the aircraft were so quickly decreased.
“It is hard to identify how important the danger is,” he said. “But it is another hole in Swiss cheese that can adjust to other holes and in Washington, DC can cause exactly what happened to the accident”
He said that the FAA first addressed the Las Vegas Airport with a helicopter and commercial traffic mixture.
Guzetti added, “I think they will find problems at other airports, but they are probably not the degree they received with it.”
NTSB former chairman Jim Hall says helicopter has long been in security problems with the industry, describing it in many cases as “to be attracted instead of a safe journey.”
“Unfortunately in the case of aircraft, it is an accident that draws attention to the regulators’ responsibilities,” he added.
The mid -January clash near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington was the deadliest aircraft disaster in the United States since the 21st.
The helicopters have become a key concern, but Rochiliu says the key protection problems remain as an operation and maintenance problem. He said the top causes of the helicopter accident include reduction of control while conducting shortness and hitting an object.
The FAA has said that a review of security data is closed together with a mixture of different planes and airports to visit the airports.
The Hollywood Barbank Airport and Van Nuis Airport in the Los Angeles region have emerged as an anxiety because they are 10 miles (16 km) separate. Both the airport serve a broad mix of aircraft and there are approaching and departure paths.
A spokesman for the Hollywood Barbank Airport mentions the questions in the FAA. Van Nuis Airport did not immediately respond to the comment of an email request.
“As the safest mode of flying transportation remains, we must always try to make better,” Rochale also said. “We need to identify the trends and get more precise about how we use data and
Aircraft lawyer Robert Clifford, who represented several families of the DC plane crash, praised the FAA to take steps to further secure helicopter flights.
“As FAA’s frequent critic I can say that the FAA travel is recognized for taking these steps to protect the public,” he said. “Helicopters are known as the most dangerous and potential unsafe aircraft. FAA’s extra alert can save many lives.”
