Duffy Backs Safety Audit After Deadly Crash Near National Airport
Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, on Wednesday endorsed calls for the department's inspector general to audit air safety protocols around the nation's capital after a fatal January crash between a commercial flight and a military helicopter, as officials told senators the Federal Aviation Administration and the Army would soon sign a policy agreement to avoid such accidents in the future. Mr. Duffy's pledge to fully support the audit comes after a bipartisan majority of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation earlier this week called on the watchdogs overseeing the Department of Transportation and the Army to examine their safety measures. They asked both inspectors general to investigate whether changes could have helped prevent an Army Black Hawk helicopter from ramming into American Airlines Flight 5342 as it approached Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Jan. 29, killing all on board both aircraft, as well as a series of near misses that have occurred in the same region. The National Transportation Safety Board has already started an investigation into the Jan. 29 crash. On Wednesday, its chairwoman, Jennifer Homendy, told senators on the commerce committee during a closed-door meeting with N.T.S.B., F.A.A. and Army officials that the probe would be completed by Jan. 29, 2026, according to Senator Jerry Moran, Republican of Kansas and the chairman of the panel's aviation subcommittee. In the meantime, the F.A.A. and the Army plan to conclude a memorandum of understanding for safely coordinating air operations, according to senators on the panel and Chris Rocheleau, the acting F.A.A. administrator, who told reporters after the closed-door briefing that they were 'getting close' to an agreement. Since the crash, the F.A.A. has closed the flight route used by the Army Black Hawk on Jan. 29 to military traffic, and the military has limited the availability of V.I.P. flights — the missions for which the Army pilots were training that night — to just a handful of senior officials, Mr. Moran said. Previously, he added, V.I.P. flights were available to generals with at least a three-star rank; now, they are only available to the secretary of defense, his under secretary, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his deputy.

Action needed after Leicester City crash, says coroner
Urgent action must be taken to address concerns about helicopter rules after a crash killed five people near Leicester City's stadium, a coroner football club's chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, fellow passengers Kaveporn Punpare and Nusara Suknamai, pilot Eric Swaffer and Mr Swaffer's partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz all died in the crash on 27 October 2018.A prevention of future deaths report was sent to the European Union Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) after an inquest into the Prof Catherine Mason said current aviation rules may not adequately prevent crucial parts from wearing out prematurely and cause failures. Part makers may not receive all the detailed flight and system test data from manufacturers, so they cannot fully check if they are safe, the coroner Mason said concerns were raised about the lack of clear rules on how long some important helicopter parts should last and how they should be inspected, especially for aircraft already in coroner wrote of worries that helicopter makers are not currently required by regulations to thoroughly check critical parts after removal from service, which could help catch problems highlighted concerns raised during the inquest about the lack of clear rules for calculating stresses on key helicopter parts and the need for better standards to ensure ongoing report pointed to "failure modes analysis at a system level".The coroner wrote: "In my opinion, action should be taken to prevent future deaths, and I believe that each of EASA and the CAA have power to take such action."On October 27 2018, after a match between Leicester City and West Ham, the Leonardo AW169 helicopter spun out of control after it took off from the helicopter began to spin when Mr Swaffer tried to do a right-hand turn over the stadium to take Khun Vichai and the other passengers to Stansted Airport, an inquest jury previously Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report found that the helicopter began uncontrollably spinning when a bearing in the tail rotor "seized" after its lubrication broke down, jurors were aircraft landed on its left-hand side on a 1.6ft (0.5m) concrete step, causing a fuel leak which ignited and "rapidly" engulfed the helicopter in jury of 11 people, who heard evidence over two weeks, concluded that the deaths were of the five victims, including Khun Vichai, died due to smoke inhalation and it was likely they would have survived their injuries if the fire had not started, it was cause of Ms Lechowicz's death was given as "significant" head and chest injuries, and she would have died "extremely quickly" after the helicopter crashed into the ground.
