💨 Abstract

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is advocating for stricter helicopter flight regulations near Reagan National Airport following a fatal midair collision on Jan. 29, 2025, which killed 67 people. Norton suggests limiting helicopter flights to only those transporting the president, vice president, or during national security emergencies. She also calls for mandatory use of ADS-B technology, which enhances aircraft tracking and safety, except in specific exempted cases.
