华盛顿,2月19日(路透社) – 周四,美国众议院两党议员提出一项法案,以落实2025年1月美国航空一架支线飞机与陆军”黑鹰”直升机相撞事故后的50项航空安全建议。该事故造成67人死亡。
众议院交通与基础设施委员会、武装服务委员会的主席以及该小组的最高级别民主党议员表示,该法案旨在解决一系列问题,包括联邦航空管理局(FAA)安全文化中的缺陷、加强空中交通管制培训和程序,以及加强去年发生致命碰撞事故的里根华盛顿国家机场周边空域的安全。

美国众议院将于周一单独就《旋翼机安全法案》(ROTOR Act)进行投票。该法案由美国参议院于去年12月全票通过,要求飞机运营商在2031年底前为其机队配备一种名为”自动相关监视广播系统”(ADS-B)的安全系统。
参议院法案还加强了对商业喷气式飞机和直升机交通以及商业机场附近飞行路线的监督。
目前尚不清楚众议院是否会将周四公布的法案部分内容纳入参议院法案。众议院交通委员会主席山姆·格雷夫斯表示:”这项全面法案将通过直接解决导致此次事故的各种因素,使我们的航空系统更加安全。”

该小组的最高级别民主党议员里克·拉森众议员表示,该法案落实了美国国家运输安全委员会(NTSB)的全部50项建议,”以提高空域安全,保护旅客免受未来事故的威胁”。
众议院法案要求对联邦航空管理局的安全文化和安全管理系统进行全面独立审计,强制改进直升机路线设计,并解决对军事航空实践的多项担忧。
上个月,NTSB认定联邦航空管理局存在系统性故障,导致此次碰撞事故,这是2001年以来美国最严重的航空灾难。
NTSB确定事故原因是联邦航空管理局允许直升机在没有任何保护措施的情况下靠近机场飞行,没有将其与飞机分离,并且未能审查数据并对将直升机交通移离机场的建议采取行动。
NTSB向联邦航空管理局提出了30多项建议,指出华盛顿坠机事件前存在一系列故障。联邦航空管理局局长布莱恩·贝德福德周四在一次会议上表示,该机构需要改善其文化,并誓言实施安全委员会的建议。

US House lawmakers propose comprehensive aviation safety bill after fatal crash
February 19, 2026 9:23 PM UTC / Reuters / By David Shepardson
WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) – A bipartisan group of U.S. House lawmakers on Thursday proposed legislation to address 50 aviation safety recommendations issued after a year-long investigation into the January 2025 collision between an American Airlines regional jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter that killed 67 people.
The chairs of the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Armed Services committees and the panel’s top Democrats said the bill aims to address a series of issues including deficiencies in the FAA’s safety culture, enhancing air traffic control training and procedures, and strengthening safety of airspace around Reagan Washington National Airport where the fatal collision occurred last year.

The U.S. House is separately set to vote Monday on the ROTOR Act, legislation passed by the U.S. Senate unanimously in December that would require aircraft operators to equip their fleets with a safety system known as automatic-dependent-surveillance-broadcast system, or ADS-B, by the end of 2031.
The Senate bill also boosts oversight of commercial jet and helicopter traffic and flight routes near commercial airports.
It’s unclear if the House might add parts of the bill unveiled Thursday to the Senate bill. “This comprehensive bill will make our aviation system safer by directly addressing various factors that contributed to this accident,” said House Transportation Committee chair Sam Graves.

Representative Rick Larsen, the panel’s top Democrat, said the bill addresses all 50 NTSB recommendations to “improve airspace safety to protect travelers from future accidents.”
The House bill calls for a comprehensive independent audit of the FAA’s safety culture and safety-management system, mandates improved helicopter route design and addresses a number of concerns about military aviation practices.
Last month, the NTSB found systemic failures by the FAA led to the collision that was the worst U.S. aviation disaster since 2001.
The NTSB determined the accident was caused by the FAA’s decision to allow helicopters to travel close to the airport with no safeguards to separate them from airplanes and its failure to review data and act on recommendations to move helicopter traffic away from the airport.
The NTSB made more than 30 recommendations to the FAA, citing a series of failures before the Washington crash. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford, speaking at a conference Thursday, said the agency needed to improve its culture and has vowed to implement safety board recommendations.
