CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A flight has landed safely at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) after being ‘illuminated’ by a laser, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The US Federal Aviation Administration announced plans Monday for an overhaul of its organizational structure in a move it said would help make the agency more efficient and support its ambitious air traffic control modernization plans.

An American Airlines crew reported being struck by a laser about 5 miles from Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

The FAA will create new offices for safety management, airspace modernization and advanced aviation integration.

An American Airlines flight was struck by a laser near Charlotte Douglas International Airport Thursday morning, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The proposed legislation targets redundant or outdated regulations, which after being identified could be amended, rescinded or removed.

Investigators determined that a cluster of “systemic failures” at the FAA and U.S. Army contributed to the collision between an Army helicopter and passenger jet nearly a year ago.

The investigation suggests that the helicopter route was dangerously close to the path taken by civilian aircraft. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said that the FAA was supposed to conduct annual safety reviews of helicopter routes, but the board was unable to find evidence of such reviews taking place.

The letter — signed by Sen. Jon Husted and U.S. Reps. Mike Turner and Warren Davidson, with 14 others — urges the FAA to consider DriveOhio and Ohio Department of Transportation’s application for the FAA’s Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) Integration Pilot Program.
