Deadly DCA Crash Report Sparks Call For Immediate Reforms
US Senator Tammy Duckworth is calling for immediate action from the FAA and Department of Defense to implement safety recommendations following a deadly mid-air collision at DCA, citing the need for collision avoidance technology and air traffic control modernization to prevent future tragedies. Duckworth has been a leading voice in aviation safety and has sponsored bipartisan bills to support the health of the aviation workforce and strengthen safety standards.
