Pilot raises an important question about midair collision

[@WillAshcroft-g3i]

I'm a 4000 hour commercial helicopter pilot. The AA plane was doing what is was supposed to be doing. It had the right of way. The helicopter is capable of slowing or diverting. The video shows them at the same altitude. At night is easy to see aircraft lights. At LAX there is a helicopter route in front of the runways but it is not a free for all. Multiple times I have been told to hover in place, wait for the fixed wing to pass in front of you. Constantly in my career I have had to give way or make room for fixed wing. Don't forget there were two helicopter pilots and a crew chief on board the helo. That makes three eyes in the helicopter. Then another two in the AA plane. Military aircraft normally use another radio band but that does not disallow them to communicate with the tower. My take is the responsibility sits with the helo.

[@kapilsds7]

In movies that helicopter can see oncoming missiles but real life it can't see full size aircraft. I guess.....

[@pongyi123]

Im a 14 yr Air Force veteran mainly Helicopters and I agree with you. Helicopters are maneuverable and can get out of the way, while it is much more difficult for a Jet to get out of the way. I also feel responsibility for this collision falls on the Helicopter air crew. No blame brings the people lost back though, my heart goes out to the families of all 67 people lost in this terrible accident. Trump is on the TV right now blaming it on Pete Buttigeig. If this man had a brain he would be dangerous, more so than he is now!

That helicopter came in sooo fast - like a car running a red light. At that point in final approach there is no way the plane that size could evade the helicopter. Why is the media blaming the plane???

[@McHaro0079]

It's from the viewpoint of the video that is widely circulated. Yes. But bare in mind that they were moving in 3-D space. If the plane was moving towards the camera, it would appeared that it hardly moved at all. I wonder if there were radar images of those plane and chopper available. It's too soon to tell.

[@abrahamlevi3556]

The airliner pilots would have been given a vocal warning from the GPWS to pull up. They would have had to change configurations really fast and abort and follow the STAR instructions that are on the plate of the airport. They usually brief it more than once during a flight, one of which is before landing.

[@NonStop337]

I am having a hard time understanding why the army helicopter was allowed to fly so close and low of the approach end of the runway.

[@christopheblanchi4777]

The jet was cleared for landing and in final, the helicopter had no business being there. Why anyone cleared that military helicopters to cross an active final at a busy airport? These aircrafts were below 1000 feet, TCAS is inactive then, the plane had no reason to look out anywhere than in front of itself. This is fully controlled airspace and the tower is responsible for insuring aircraft separation. If the military wants to fly in a CTR, they need to behave just like all the other planes and get the same exact clearances. There is no reason why military aircraft should have any different clearance mechanisms.

[@MAGASupremacy]

the chopper pilot was a DEI commission. forced to be there by Biden.

[@CaraVerde]

The other report I've watched says the airplane changed the original landing plan, so they could land in different runway for some reasons. The question is, does the change communicated properly to other aircrafts around? I think we have to wait for the investigation result.

[@epyoutube5218]

​@CaraVerde I think it was related to the high winds reported in the area. It was very windy and I think they can sometimes change normal runways and normal procedures. My guess is helicopter was expecting a "business as usual" routine and that's not what happened. Possible error on helicopter pilot or on the tower for not relaying runway landing changes due to wind. Just my un-educated guess. They say most crashes have more than one contributing factor though. It's probably more than just related to that. There are usually at least two contributing factors. Such as tower not relaying change and helicopter pilot assuming airplane position instead of verifying. The helicopter probably does these night training maneuvers at one of the busiest airports all the time (not sure why that's even allowed, yet another contributing factor) and posdibly the helicopter pilot had certain expectations and helicopter didn't confirm.

Supposedly it was a Continuity of Govt training flight - which means evacuating the PResident and other senior leaders in the event of something bad happening - they practice that in all types of weather and conditions. Further, there is information out there that the helo pilot was using night vision goggles which could be a contributing factor. Regardless, it seems clear that helicopter was at fault, especially since it appears to have acknowledged to DCA Tower that it had CRJ in sight.

[@charlesbrewer6552]

I am a retire Commercial pilot/ flight instructor from Australia. What a lot of BULLSHIT! The commercial jet was doing exactly what it was told to do. These aircraft are flying in CONTROLLED AIRSPACE! The military helicopter was flying visual flight rules (see and avoid). The helicopter was asked by the controller " do you have that aircraft in sight?", the helicopter answered that they did. The controller said "pass behind that aircraft"! Clearly the helicopter DID NOT have the aircraft insight. The two aircraft were on different frequencies, so the jet was totally unaware of the presence of the helicopter! The helicopter WAS aware of the jet! The jet was a 400 feet on final approach, totally focused on landing their aircraft and totally unaware of any potential conflict in CONTROLLED AIRSPACE! The arrogance of the current administration is reflected by the arrogance of these military pilots, flying in a VERY busy Controlled airspace. Apparently the "military" turn off their ADSB because they do want people to see where they are! What a great idea in the midst of one of the busiest airports in America while flying a course that conflicts with published instrument approaches. America is also in the midst of a pilot and controller shortage as an aftermath of the covid outbreak. There is a problem with the experience level of many controllers in the country. This is not THEIR fault. But let's just keep cutting government funding to these vital agencies. What the FUCK is wrong with basic common sense in America! This was caused by a lack of adequate funding of the basic infrastructure of providing funding in combination with the arrogance of the military, that the rules do not apply to them! But , Hey America. Whatever you do, DON'T tax the wealthy! Donald Trump the dictator, insurrectionist, criminal is the "Dear Leader"! Maybe he will save YOU? MAYBE NOT! I think NOT!

[@ryanv2023]

A simple instruction from ATC: “PAT25, traffic at your 11 o'clock, a CRJ” would have really helped instead of just: “PAT25, do you have the CRJ insight?”

[@PeterPounders]

ATC already told PAT25 that there was a flight on approach for 33. Even gave the altitude. I think that should have been enough for PAT25 to stay clear of that area.

[@skyboy1956]

ATC previously provided that information and was confirming the helicopter pilot was going to see-and-avoid the CRJ to which they replied affirmative.

[@theophiluschimpdenearwicke9385]

PAT25 had previously reported the CRJ "in sight" and requested visual separation. The tower controller approved visual separation. When PAT25 didn't appear to de-conflict the tower asks again if traffic is in sight and to pass behind the CRJ. Unfortunately, PAT25 probably visually acquired a different aircarrier that was on final to Runway 1 and was focused on that traffic. Additionally, PAT25 was supposed to be at or below 200' on ROUTE 4....he was at 350'.

the jet was on an instrument approach just short of the runway. I'm curious why ATC / tower would route / allow the helo near the approach end of a runway?

[@DaddlerTheDalek]

Just tragic...

[@RichardMcLaren]

Whether the Jet could see the helo is largely irrelevant. Rotor craft should yield for fixed wing craft, because they can alter their path quicker, and if necessary, hover. It's impossible to be certain from the video, but I think when ATC told the helo to pass behind the jet, he couldn't see the nav and landing lights of the jet that was coming in to land.....or couldn't differentiate between the plane lights and the city lights (only at 400' remember) but could see the plane that had just taken off, and thought that was the one he was meant to pass behind.

[@TheNifster]

Bakari Sellers, a top CNN commentator, on Wednesday apologized and deleted a post blaming President Donald Trump for the horrific plane crash in Washington, DC.

[@josephdebri8941]

Smells fishy to me.

[@neilmccomsey9550]

Why have an AF Col from Intel? He doesn't know.

[@a.michelle9289]

Could this be a TERRORIST ATTACK???

[@MauricioGonzalezFilms]

They hit under the 800ft mark 😮 I don’t think any maneuvering could be done at that altitude. Tragic accident.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

The helicopter was supposed to be under the 200ft mark. They were told there was a plane and they identified it wrong. Maybe 'training' boys in deadly military toys should be done out of the commercial flight range.

[@lynnhubbard844]

400 ft they said

[@artstrology]

@@TheAccidentalViking Big time. There are way too many military flights in civilian airspace. been on that one for 2 decades.

[@jaimeconley624]

Is it just a coincidence that last week Trump fired hundreds of FAA officials, the TSA head, and put a freeze on hiring of air traffic controllers.

[@searchandsave142]

It should never shut down

[@johnnydawson7675]

How long will it be until Trump blames it on Biden.

[@Dslrepairpro]

Well people are allready blaming trump

[@notnek202]

BIDEN DEI GONE BAD.

[@davemitchell6281]

looks like you threw the first punch shut up.

[@reeva5735]

It will be blamed on DEI

[@scillyautomatic]

Not gonna happen.

[@kentjones6813]

FAA is forced to hire people with 'SEVERE HEALTH DISABILITIES" . That's heart warming. Wow, God help us all.

[@lisasante254]

I doubt the enlisted pilot had severe disabilities. He appears to be at fault. Bozo.

[@Siamak-l8j]

Blame FAA only

[@justinh2832]

We all know it was the fault of the helicopter pilot it's obvious from the video along with all other factors

[@teresatrujillo4410]

May their souls rest in peace. So sad and feel bad for the passengers and their families.

[@markuswilliams6939]

I thought I seen a drone near the collision 💥

[@Huongsokmach]

Tra F ic?

[@justinh2832]

It's almost like the helicopter pilot locked onto the plane and just full sended look at the footage

[@nick066hu]

Somebody knows, what is that luxury yacht doing in the middle of the search area? Has Coast Guard (or whoever should do a professional search and rescue) run out of fuel? or some billionaire wished for some excitement ?

[@davesky538]

Pilot error. Very sad.

[@TimmyRue-bn3xe]

Third time this mth the military.

[@dianacarter3212]

Didnt matter if the plane saw it! Couldnt do anything! The chopper was the only one the could have dropped or slowed or veered. I heard they only had seconds notice!

[@CarlosRoberto-kf7ik]

The copter pilot was suicide. It's not an accident.

[@josfur1977]

even if some survived the initial crash they ended up drowning.. chilling stuff... the panic on these people....

[@lodelacruz2055]

It makes no sense at all. Something doesn’t add up!! Bad feeling 😢

[@pierrelepage3544]

According to the FAA Circular Advisory AC No: 20-151B Page 10 it says All TCAS II aural alerts must be inhibited below 400 ft AGL while descending and inhibited below 600 ft AGL while climbing.

[@deeyung816]

Were these DEI pilots asking for Elon?🧐

[@markrinella49]

Let me guess...sad as it is...President Trumps fault...?

[@SunshineJenkins]

Its good to see Sara, I've been thinking about her. Rip to the victims 🙏🏽

[@Lawrence901Memphis]

Why are your comments along with NBC turned off on the confirmation hearings today? Why so much sensorship and oppression of opinions with your views?

[@AmSuperBlessed]

Trump DEI and Hegzeth.Purging qualified and experienced staff and hiring based on hate and racism is going to be disastrous. My heart is broken for the lives list and their loved one.

[@scottgray493]

Has Trump offered a commemorative coin yet for his courage in this moment of history?

[@GT-xw8cm]

They all got their momentS of attention,, parading their ugly mugs in front of the camera, taking the attention away from the victims, and the senate confirmation hearings

[@C_ch_real]

You’re disgusting. 🤢. Exactly why the left lost and will continue to loose.

[@tamhiker1]

Absolutely no reason why these two aircraft needed to be that close together - at that time of night. 100% an ATC error.

[@donjo9776]

Wrong.
