It lifted off and climbed north along the Potomac, passing above and to the west of the presidential helicopter. A second regional flight inbound to DCA, Republic Airways Flight 4700, was sent around roughly three miles out while the airspace sorted itself out.<\/p>\r\n<p>Federal rules require aircraft in that controlled airspace to stay at least 1.5 miles apart horizontally or 500 feet apart vertically. Preliminary tracking data suggests the airliner and Marine One briefly closed inside those margins as the jet climbed over the helicopter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;There was a momentary loss of separation, after which the aircraft continued to move away from one another.

Photo: Wikimedia Commons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>According to air traffic control audio reviewed by reporters, Marine One had given controllers a few minutes&rsquo; notice that it was about to move &mdash; but a controller apparently did not hear the call because another transmission stepped on it at the same moment. The usual practice of pausing departures at DCA while the helicopter transits did not happen.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why this one stings<\/h2>\r\n<p>Washington is jumpy about exactly this scenario. In January 2025, an Army Black Hawk and an American Eagle regional jet collided over the Potomac just short of Reagan National, killing 67 people &mdash; the deadliest U.S. air disaster in a generation. In the aftermath, the FAA tightened the rules on mixing helicopters and airliners in that congested corridor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2085089967676559552&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:520px;border:none;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p>That history is why a &ldquo;momentary&rdquo; loss of separation with the President aboard became national news within hours.
