'Not normal': FAA confirm air traffic controller was doing the job of two people

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed the air traffic controller working was doing the job of two people. The air traffic controller was on duty when the mid-air collision between a black hawk helicopter and a passenger plane killed 67 people. According to The New York Times, an FAA preliminary report made an interesting discovery of the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport’s staffing. The FAA preliminary report found that air traffic control tower staffing was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic”. The report found the air traffic controller working was pulling double duty, watching arriving and departing planes while also overseeing helicopters. The responsibilities of watching arriving/ departing planes and overseeing helicopters are usually split between two people, the report added.
