Aviation Safety Reforms Stall Amid Congressional Standoff
The head of the National Transportation Safety Board, Jennifer Homendy, has urged Congress to pass significant aviation safety reforms. The NTSB has provided a clear roadmap to improve aviation safety, and Homendy is calling for action to be taken. The House and Senate have competing bills to address safety measures, with the House legislation requiring the installation of collision-prevention technologies on all military aircraft by 2031. The NTSB determined that the 2025 accident was caused by the FAA’s decision to allow helicopters to travel close to the airport with no safeguards. This was reported by Reuters.
