华盛顿，8月4日（路透社）——美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）表示，该局正在审查周二发生的一起涉及搭载唐纳德·特朗普总统的军用直升机的空中交通安全事件。
美国联邦航空管理局称：“我们正在调查一起涉及海军陆战队一号专机的安全事件，不过这似乎并非危险的近距离擦碰，两架飞机显然也没有交汇。”

两名消息人士告知路透社，特朗普的海军陆战队一号专机于周二下午从白宫起飞，但空中交通管制员并未按照去年致命撞机事件后出台的政策要求，暂停附近罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场的商业航班运行。
《华尔街日报》最先报道了此次事件。
据随行记者团的报道，特朗普的专机于当地时间下午2点33分（格林尼治标准时间18点33分）从白宫附近的椭圆广场起飞，前往安德鲁斯联合基地，准备前往洛杉矶。
一名消息人士向路透社透露，恩航3742号航班——一架飞往佛罗里达州彭萨科拉的区域支线E170型喷气式飞机——于下午2点34分起飞，与海军陆战队一号专机发生了疑似未保持安全间距的事件。恩航是美国航空的全资子公司
(AAL.O)，新标签页打开，美国航空未立即置评。
美国联邦航空管理局的规定要求，机场周边的飞机横向间距至少保持1.5英里，垂直间距至少保持500英尺。消息人士称，海军陆战队一号专机与这架喷气式飞机似乎未保持安全间距。其中一名消息人士表示，事件发生期间两架飞机似乎并未交汇。
特朗普的专机和喷气式飞机均平安降落。
两名消息人士告知路透社，美国联邦航空管理局计划组建安全审查小组调查此次事件。白宫未立即置评。
另一名消息人士称，另有一架区域航班——共和航空4700号航班——事发时距离里根国家机场3英里（约5公里），为谨慎起见被要求绕行。据FlightAware航班追踪平台信息，这架执飞美国航空航班的共和航空EMBRAER 175型飞机从罗利-达勒姆机场起飞，在机场上空绕行后于下午2点52分降落。
2025年1月，美国航空区域支线喷气式飞机与一架陆军直升机相撞，造成67人死亡。此后，美国联邦航空管理局对华盛顿里根国家机场周边的直升机运营实施了永久性限制措施。
美国国家运输安全委员会今年1月表示，联邦航空管理局存在一系列系统性失误，导致了此次撞机事故，并指出该局允许直升机在未设置任何与客机分离防护措施的情况下靠近机场飞行。
事故发生后，联邦航空管理局禁止在该机场周边混合运行直升机和喷气式飞机，通常情况下，海军陆战队一号专机在该机场周边飞行时，商业航班都会暂停运行。今年3月，联邦航空管理局禁止在大型机场附近使用目视分离方式调度直升机飞行。
通常情况下，海军陆战队一号专机起飞前，空中交通管制部门至少会提前三分钟接到通知，以便暂停里根国家机场的航班运行。

WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing an air-traffic safety incident Tuesday involving a military helicopter carrying President Donald Trump, the agency said.
“The FAA is investigating a safety incident involving Marine One but it didn’t appear to be a dangerous close call and the aircraft weren’t apparently converging,” the FAA said.

Trump’s Marine One helicopter took off from the White House Tuesday afternoon, but air-traffic controllers had not halted commercial flights at nearby Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as required under a policy set last year following a fatal collision, two sources told Reuters.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the incident.
Trump’s helicopter lifted off from the Ellipse near the White House around 2:33 p.m. (1833 GMT), on his way to Joint Base Andrews for a trip to Los Angeles, according to a pool report.
A source told Reuters that Envoy Air 3742 — a regional E170 jet bound for Pensacola, Florida — departed at 2:34 p.m. and was involved in the apparent loss of separation incident with Marine One. Envoy is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines

, which did not immediately comment.
FAA rules require aircraft to remain separated by at least 1.5 miles horizontally and 500 feet vertically around airports. The sources said it appeared Marine One and the plane did not maintain separation. One said it appears they were not converging during the incident.
Both Trump’s helicopter and the jet landed without incident.
Two sources told Reuters the FAA is planning to convene a Safety Review Team into the incident. The White House did not immediately comment.
Another regional flight — Republic 4700 — was 3 miles (5 km) from Reagan at the time of the incident and was sent around out of caution, the other source said. The Republic Embraer 175 operating on behalf of American had departed from Raleigh-Durham and looped around the airport before landing at 2:52 p.m., according to FlightAware.
The FAA imposed permanent restrictions on helicopter operations around Washington’s Reagan National Airport after a fatal January 2025 mid-air collision of an American Airlines

regional jet and an Army helicopter killed 67 people.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in January series of systemic failures by the FAA led to the collision, citing the agency decision to allow helicopters to travel close to the airport with no safeguards to separate them from airplanes.
After the crash, the FAA has barred mixed helicopter and jet traffic around the airport, and when Marine One is in flight around the airport, commercial traffic is typically halted. The FAA in March barred

helicopter traffic near major airports.
FAA air traffic control is typically given at least three minutes’ notice before Marine One departs to halt traffic from Reagan.
