华盛顿7月27日路透电 — 美国国家运输安全委员会负责人周一敦促国会解决持续数月的航空安全措施分歧,批准重大改革法案。

美国国家运输安全委员会主席珍妮弗·霍门迪表示,该委员会“已经明确提出了改善航空安全、降低再次发生灾难性空中相撞事故风险的路线图。现在是时候兑现数月前承诺的行动了。”

美国众议院于4月以396票对10票通过一项全面航空安全改革法案,以应对2025年1月美国航空区域客机与美军直升机相撞事故后提出的数十项安全建议。此次事故造成67人死亡。而另一项被称为《ROTOR法案》的竞争性法案于去年12月在参议院全票通过,但根据快速通道规则,该法案需要众议院三分之二多数票才能通过,最终差一票未能达标。

美国国家运输安全委员会表示,自动相关监视广播系统(ADS-B)本可以阻止2025年这起发生在首都附近繁忙空域的相撞事故。

今年1月,美国国家运输安全委员会认定联邦航空管理局(FAA)存在系统性失误,导致了这起自2001年以来美国最严重的航空灾难。

众议院法案要求到2031年在所有军用飞机上安装防撞技术,但战斗机、轰炸机和无人机除外;同时为民用飞机和直升机安装防撞缓解技术制定了强制要求。

参众两院一直在进行谈判以解决法案分歧。

美国联邦航空管理局局长布莱恩·贝德福德本月早些时候告诉路透社,他已就相关法案向国会提供技术支持。

“更快获得更多态势感知,比等待可能需要六七年才能出台的完美解决方案要好,”贝德福德说道,他补充道,联邦航空管理局可以在国会未采取行动的情况下推进自动相关监视广播系统的部署,但更希望获得立法者的明确指示。

美国国家运输安全委员会认定,2025年事故的起因是联邦航空管理局允许直升机在无任何隔离保障措施的情况下靠近机场飞行,以及该机构未审查相关数据并未就将直升机航班转移远离机场的建议采取行动。

WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) – The head of the National Transportation Safety Board on Monday urged Congress to resolve a months-long ​standoff over competing aviation safety measures and approve significant reforms.

NTSB Chair Jennifer ‌Homendy said the board had “provided a clear roadmap to improve aviation safety and reduce the risk of another catastrophic midair collision. Now it’s time for action that was promised months ago.”

The U.S. ​House of Representatives in April voted 396-10 to pass a sweeping aviation safety ​reform bill to address dozens of recommendations issued after a January 2025 ⁠collision of an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter that ​killed 67 people, while a rival bill known as the ROTOR Act passed the U.S. ​Senate unanimously in December but needed a two-thirds majority in the House to pass under fast-track rules and it fell one vote short.

The NTSB said ADS-B would have prevented the 2025 collision in ​the crowded airspace near the nation’s capital.

In January, the NTSB found systemic failures by ​the FAA led to the collision that was the worst U.S. aviation disaster since 2001.

The House legislation ‌requires ⁠installation of collision-prevention technologies on all military aircraft by 2031, except fighters, bombers and drones, and establishes requirements for equipping collision-mitigation technologies for civilian airplanes and helicopters.

Talks have been ongoing between the House and Senate to resolve the differences.

The head of the Federal ​Aviation Administration, Bryan Bedford, ​told Reuters earlier this ⁠month he had provided technical assistance to Congress on the bills.

“More situational awareness faster is better than waiting for the perfect ​solution that might not happen for six or seven years,” Bedford ​said, adding ⁠the FAA could move forward on ADS-B without action from Congress but would prefer direction from lawmakers.

The NTSB determined the 2025 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.
