WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is planing additional helicopter route changes near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after the January 29 mid-air collision of an American Airlines AAL.O regional jet and an Army helicopter that killed 67 people.
FAA official Nick Fuller said at a National Transportation Safety Board investigative hearing that an agency work group is planning changes on a key helicopter route near Reagan after imposing permanent restrictions on non-essential helicopter operations in March.
