FAA Investigates Faulty Aircraft Alerts at Reagan National Airport

Pilots reported false warnings of nearby aircraft, prompting go-arounds as the FAA probes the unusual malfunction.

Several flight crews received false collision warnings while approaching Reagan National Airport on Saturday, despite no other aircraft being nearby.
The alerts prompted some pilots to perform go-arounds, following standard safety procedures.
The FAA has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the malfunction, which experts describe as highly unusual.
The incident follows heightened scrutiny of the airport's airspace after a deadly January collision between an Army helicopter and a regional jet killed 67 people.
Safety concerns have been raised after a series of aviation incidents in recent months, including crashes in Philadelphia and Toronto.
