联邦航空局正在调查特朗普乘坐的Marine One直升机在华盛顿特区上空与一架商业客机发生的安全事件[1]。事件发生在2025年1月的一个周二下午，Marine One于下午2时33分从白宫椭圆形草坪起飞，而美国航空子公司Envoy Air的航班3742（Embraer E170机型）在下午2时18分起飞，晚于计划时间34分钟[1]。两架飞机在下午2时34分时出现在相近空域[1]。
联邦航空局表示正在调查这一安全事件，但指出事件似乎并未构成危险的近距离接触，两架飞机也未呈现汇聚态势[1]。根据联邦航空局规定，飞行器间应保持的最小间距为水平1.5英里、垂直500英尺[1]。这次事件发生在2025年1月一起致67人丧生的直升机与商业飞机碰撞事故之后，该事故促使联邦航空局收紧了相关接近规则[1]。
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a separation incident between Marine One, carrying President Trump, and a commercial aircraft over Washington, D.C. [1] The incident occurred on a Tuesday afternoon in January 2025, when air traffic controllers failed to delay a commercial flight departing from Ronald Reagan National Airport. [1]
Marine One lifted off from the White House Ellipse at 2:33 p.m., approximately one minute before Envoy Air flight 3742, an Embraer E170 operated as a subsidiary of American Airlines, which had departed at 2:18 p.m. — 34 minutes behind schedule. [1] According to FAA regulations, aircraft must maintain a horizontal separation of at least 1.5 miles and a vertical separation of 500 feet. [1] The FAA stated that it was "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." [1]
The investigation comes in the aftermath of a January 2025 collision between a regional jet and a military helicopter that killed 67 people, an incident that prompted the FAA to tighten proximity rules for aircraft operations. [1]
