LOS ANGELES - U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein on Wednesday urged the Federal Aviation Administration to require terrain warning systems in commercial helicopters, technology that investigators say was not in use in the crash that killed basketball star Kobe Bryant and eight others last month.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators have said the chopper was not equipped with a terrain awareness warning system, which could have alerted the pilot that the aircraft was dangerously close to the ground. The FAA said only that it would respond to Feinstein “in an appropriate time frame.” The agency currently requires terrain warning systems, or TAWS, only for helicopter air ambulance operations.
