“The FAA is investigating a safety incident involving Marine One, but it didn’t appear to be a dangerous close call, and the aircraft weren’t apparently converging,” the FAA said in a statement. One minute after Trump departed, a regional jet headed to Florida took off from the airport and was involved in an apparent loss of separation incident with Marine One, two sources told Reuters. Both the jet and Marine One continued their flights without incident. After the incident, the FAA suspended the use of visual separation between airplanes and helicopters, instead switching to radar separation. Since the 2025 incident, the FAA also announced it was creating a safety management system and safety risk management process intended to proactively identify and address recurring hazards before they lead to accidents.
