Reagan helicopter routes closed

Axios -  The FAA indefinitely closed helicopter routes near Washington's Reagan National Airport as investigators begin to piece together the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's tragic crash. ... Route 4 — the route the helicopter was supposed to be flying — tracks along the eastern bank of the Potomac. Helicopters are supposed to stay at 200 feet when using it. The Black Hawk involved in Wednesday's crash was flying at 300 feet and at least a half-mile off course, per the NYT.
