Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asking him to bar Musk from any effort to reform air traffic control.

Cantwell referenced the Federal Aviation Administration’s actions last September in which the agency proposed $ 633,000 in civil penalties against SpaceX over “allegedly failing to follow its license requirements during two launches in 2023 ”.

Senators on the Commerce Committee learned a key safety system was turned off in the U.S. Army helicopter that collided with a commercial jet over the Potomac River on Jan. 29 .

Sen. Cruz told reporters the helicopter had its automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast turned off, an advanced surveillance technology to track aircraft location.
