NTSB Urges Congress to Act on Safety | Washington DC News

Six months after a catastrophic midair collision that killed 67 people, the NTSB’s 75-page report with 50 safety recommendations still sits largely unimplemented — a glaring gap in aviation safety. Chair Jennifer Homendy warns that every day without action is a day of continued risk. While some progress has been made — like the FAA and Army closing a dangerous helicopter route near Reagan National and ending visual separation — legislative efforts are stalled. The Senate passed the ROTOR Act, the House passed the ALERT Act, and Homendy is urging Congress to reconcile the bills before the next session. She insists these measures aren’t just bureaucratic checkboxes — they’re essential to honoring the victims and ensuring the skies remain safe for everyone.
