Romanucci & Blandin Weighs in on New York City Mid-Air Collision
CHICAGO, August 17, 2009 – Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, a personal injury law firm here with bench strength in aviation litigation, notes that the small plane-helicopter crash which took place August 8 over the Hudson River, occurred in uncontrolled air space around New York City. The crash killed nine people on board.
Most mid-air collisions occur in uncontrolled airspace where pilots select their own flight path. The Federal Aviation Administration plans to require by 2020 that all aircraft have systems capable of transmitting their positions to other aircraft.
