    FAA is investigating why a plane was allowed to take off as President Trump's helicopter approached

    The FAA is investigating an incident where a commercial plane took off as President Trump's helicopter approached Reagan National Airport, potentially violating safety procedures established after a 2025 midair collision. The FAA confirmed a momentary loss of separation between the aircraft, but stated no collision risk occurred. The White House and Marine Corps denied any danger to the president and defended the pilots' actions.
