ATC app fuses live controller audio and position data to deliver near‑real‑time alerts on El Paso TFR The platform ingests live ATC audio and location feeds to generate near‑real‑time alerts on temporary flight restrictions, as demonstrated during the El Paso TFR. It surfaces events—engine failures, fires, security incidents—by correlating controller communications with aircraft positions, enabling faster situational awareness for operators and planners.

FSF 2025: DCA Midair Collision Underscores Rising Risk in Mixed‑Use Airspace The Flight Safety Foundation's 2025 safety report singles out the Reagan National (DCA) midair collision as evidence that mixed‑use airspace at busy hubs is an escalating safety risk. The FSF warns concentrated operational stress—helicopters, military and commercial traffic—requires urgent procedural and technological remedies.

El Paso airspace closure tied to counter‑drone laser and FAA miscommunication Officials say the recent temporary closure of airspace around El Paso was linked to deployment of a new counter‑drone laser and miscommunication within the FAA, not an external security threat. The episode caused operational disruption and exposed civil‑military coordination gaps.
