Federal investigators are looking into the collision that occurred between a passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, resulting in the deaths of all 67 people aboard. In response, the Federal Aviation Administration has introduced flight restrictions on helicopter routes near the airport to enhance safety. Early analyses suggest the helicopter was operating outside its designated flight corridor and exceeded the required altitude, complicating the investigation into the incident.
"The Federal Aviation Administration will limit helicopter flights on routes along the Potomac River, near the airport, as well as over the airport itself."
"The helicopter that collided with the passenger jet was a U.S. Army Black Hawk, raising questions about whether it was flying where it was supposed to be."
