The FAA has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) modifying the airspace over the Hudson River in the aftermath of the August 8
midair between a Liberty Helicopters sightseeing AS 350 and a Piper PA-32R-300, killing all nine people on the
two aircraft.

The safety enhancements in the September 16 NPRM would restructure the airspace; mandate pilot operating rules; create a new entry point into the Hudson River airspace from Teterboro, N.J.; standardize New York area charts; and develop new training for pilots, air traffic controllers and businesses that operate helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes in the area.
