FAA Probes Separation Breach After Marine One and Envoy Air Jet Departured One Minute Apart at DCA
The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) is investigating an incident at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) on Tuesday afternoon, after the presidential helicopter Marine One and a departing regional jet appeared to have lost separation. The helicopter, carrying President Donald Trump, lifted off near the White House at around 2:33 PM local time, just a minute before an Envoy Air Embraer E170 departed from DCA.
