I recorded the approach of American Airlines flight 5342, which seemed to sidestep to runway 13 and collided with a helicopter near the Potomac. The east bank is a known helicopter route, mainly for police and military use. A webcam captured an explosion mid-air, and initial reports indicate that PSA Airlines 5342 collided with an Army transport helicopter. I also have audio from the DCA tower during the incident, where traffic advisories were given. A detailed thread discusses the helicopter's tracking and its visibility on the PSA's traffic screen.

.@flightradar24 recording as #AA5342 approached. Looks like another American flight was just ahead of them on final to runway 1. Possible 5342 sidestepped to runway 13, got low, and collided with a helicopter flying low on the east bank of the Potomac. The helicopter is not on ADSB.

@bricaul - Brian McGuigan

It is worth noting that – without casting any blame – the east bank of the Potomac is a published helicopter route that is generally only used by police and military helicopters given the restricted airspace. Not an unusual location for a police helicopter to be.

From initial information appears PSA Airlines 5342, a CRJ 700 collided with PAT25, an Army transport helicopter on the approach end of runway 33 at DCA, Reagan National Airport iirc the PAT helos are gold top UH-60s used for VIP transport ADS-B tracks: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae313d,a97753

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker identifies two potential issues related to a helicopter incident: a procedural violation of airspace rules and a communications error. Helicopter flights in the area are required to follow specific transit routes at restricted altitudes, and it appears the helicopter may have exceeded the 200-foot ceiling, putting it in the path of fixed-wing aircraft. The speaker believes the helicopter crew did not see the other aircraft. Regarding night vision goggles, the speaker doubts they were in use due to the well-lit urban environment, which tends to wash them out. The speaker notes that when at the same altitude or slightly higher than another aircraft in a dense urban environment at night, the aircraft's lights can easily blend into the surrounding lights from cars, traffic, streetlights, and houses. The speaker recalls losing visibility of a 747 in South Korea due to this effect.

Speaker 0: But, when it comes to the actual aircraft and the flight and the videos and evidence that that I have seen, which are the same ones you've seen as well as the air traffic control tapes, experience tell told me that there's two main things that I'm looking at. One of them is there appears to have been a procedural violation potentially of the airspace rules around the airport in DC in general. And what I mean by that is the helicopter flights through this specific location are required to go down very well defined transit routes at restricted altitudes and left and right lateral limits and so you have to fly within here. If they were above that to what's called a 200 foot ceiling, which means you can't go higher than this legally, but physically you can. If they were higher than that, that puts them in the path of fixed wing aircraft landing and descending out of Reagan. Sounds like that is a very likely to have happened. And when you look at the video, you see an aircraft helicopter that did not change its trajectory, airspeed, anything and ran into an aircraft that it clearly could did not see for whatever reason we don't know yet. The second one being the communications error, and I can get into that in a little bit. Speaker 1: Now I wanna get to you you said they clearly did not see that plane. And I was going to ask. I've jotted down some notes here. So we know that there were night vision goggles, that the pilot and the crew had night vision goggles on board. That's what we're hearing from the defense department. And then there were obviously the lights from the plane itself. Without speculating, it seems hard to imagine that they could not see the plane and beyond that, that there wouldn't have been enough more warning to make some sort of maneuver, evasive maneuver. Now, you are the expert. So I guess I'm laying all these things out and asking you, you know, kind of what would have potentially been reasonable with all of those things in mind. Speaker 0: Okay. Yeah. First thing I would tell you that the night vision goggle piece is probably not relevant to the discussion as far as the Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 0: Factor. If they were wearing them, which I doubt because you're not going to wear them in an area that is that well lit around in an urban environment. It tends to wash out the goggles. You can't see anything anyway. So being naked eye is usually safer. And there are procedures also that tell you when you're not allowed to wear them anyways, which are too many details there. I won't worry about it. But the reason why I think the the lights piece is interesting is because as as an aviator, I'll tell you the perspective. Looking at another aircraft light and the lighting system, if you're at this at near the same altitude or maybe even a little bit higher than the aircraft you're looking at in a dense urban environment at night where it's extremely well lit, you can easily see the lights of that airplane blending into the night lights, cars, traffic, otherwise, street lights, houses, all that kind of stuff. It has happened to me before even in in South Korea. I I pretty much lost visibility on an entire seven forty seven at a major airfield.

There's no indication the U.S. Army Black Hawk crew could tell there was an impending collision before its devastating crash with an American Airlines plane in Washington, D.C., the NTSB said as the agency continues to investigate the cause. Read more: https://abcnews.link/uBRPMNH

Video Transcript AI Summary
The NTSB examined voice recordings of the Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines plane collision and suggests the chopper pilots may have had bad information about their altitude. Cockpit computers may have shown two different altitudes; the pilot flying thought they were at 300 feet, while the instructor pilot thought they were at 400 feet. Air traffic control told them to go around the plane, but the Black Hawk crew may not have received the transmission to pass behind. The crash killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft. The NTSB also stated the helicopter pilots were likely wearing night vision goggles throughout the flight, but it is unknown if that impaired their vision. There is no indication the Black Hawk crew could have seen the impending crash.

Speaker 0: Now to new details in that deadly collision between the Black Hawk helicopter and the American Airlines plane. The NTSB has now listened to the voice recordings and says that the chopper pilots may have had bad information. This morning, investigators shedding new light about what may have gone wrong when a Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines plane last month. Speaker 1: We are looking at the possibility of there may be bad data. Speaker 0: The NTSB saying the helicopter pilots may not have known exactly how high the chopper was flying. Investigators say the cockpit computers may have been showing two different altitudes. Speaker 1: The pilot flying indicated they were at 300 feet. The instructor pilot indicated they were at 400 feet. Neither pilot made a comment discussing an altitude discrepancy. Speaker 0: The NTSB says this instruction from air traffic control one is Georgia. Telling them to go around the plane may not have been heard by the pilots at all because they may have been trying to talk to the tower at the same time. Just seconds later, the collision. Crash. Crash. Crash. This is alert three. Crash. Crash. Crash. This is alert three. Speaker 1: CVR data from the Black Hawk indicated that the portion of the transmission that stated pass behind the may not have been received by the Black Hawk crew. Speaker 0: The crucial black box data coming just over two weeks after the devastating crash, which killed all 67 people aboard the two aircraft, the deadliest in The US in decades. And the NTSB also saying the helicopter pilots were likely wearing night vision goggles throughout the flight. They do not know if that impaired their vision, but there's no indication right now that the Black Hawk crew could have seen the impending crash. So this investigation continues, Janae.

 BREAKING: The NTSB just dropped the Blackhawk helicopter’s black box recordings from the deadly Washington, DC crash with a commercial jet—and it’s a jaw-dropper. Here’s what it tells us:  Altitude Chaos: The chopper’s altimeter was off—way off. Pilot read 300 feet, instructor saw 400, but the real number? 278 feet—well above the 200-foot ceiling. They were flying blind on bad data.  Missed Calls: Air traffic control screamed “pass behind the jet”—but the pilots didn’t hear it. The mic was keyed at the worst moment, drowning out the warning. Seconds later? Boom.  Last-Second Panic: The jet’s pilots tried to pull up—nose pitched up just before impact. Too late. The Blackhawk crew? No clue what hit them ‘til it did.  Night Vision Goggles: They were wearing them, but did they obscure the jet’s lights? Experts say it’s possible they locked onto the wrong target in DC’s crowded skies. This wasn’t just one mistake—it was a cascade of failures. 67 lives gone. NTSB says a prelim report’s coming soon, but this black box is already screaming: something was seriously broken that night. Share this—people need to know. Check out @Brian.Murray on Youtube for more great insight like this.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The NTSB released the Blackhawk's flight recorder data, revealing key details about the accident. The flight was a night vision goggle qualification, and the crew likely used them throughout the flight. The pilot and instructor had altitude discrepancies that were never discussed. ATC radioed traffic information about a CRJ, but the Blackhawk crew didn't hear the word "circling," masking the location of the CRJ. Seven seconds before impact, ATC instructed the Blackhawk to "pass behind" the CRJ, but the Blackhawk pilots cut off the transmission, missing the instruction. The instructor told the pilot to move left, towards the river. The Blackhawk's radio altimeter read 278 feet at impact. The CRJ received a TCAS traffic alert 20 seconds before the collision and made hard maneuvers. The CRJ was at 313 feet two seconds before impact and was climbing sharply.

Speaker 0: The NTSB has finally released the contents of the Blackhawk's flight recorders, and it paints a very interesting picture. Not to step on the lead, but the Blackhawk didn't hear all the tower's radio transmissions. First, the NTSB confirmed that this was a check ride. They were doing a combination of an annual and night vision goggle qualification flight. The NTSB believes that due to the nature of this flight, they were using night vision goggles. If the pilots took the night vision goggles off, they're required to have a discussion amongst themselves that they're gonna go unaided. This discussion never happened on the cockpit voice recorder, leading the NTSB to believe that they had night vision goggles on during the accident. When wearing night vision goggles, a pilot's peripheral vision reduces from a 80 degrees down to 40. That makes it very difficult In this part of the flight, the helicopter is following Route 1 and Route 4 of the helicopter routes. The NTSB notes that while these are depicted on the charts, there's no defined boundaries. However, pilots are expected to stay under the maximum height limits. At the location of the collision, the helicopter should have been at 200 feet or below. But as we'll see later, there may have been other factors at play. The first interesting anomaly that happened on the Blackhawk's Hawk Foot voice recorder happened at eight forty three and forty eight seconds. That's approximately four minutes before the crash. The pilot flying said they were 300 feet, but their instructor said they were at 400. This could indicate that their altimeters were not set correctly or weren't synchronized between the left and right seat. Pilots primarily fly by using their barometric altitude. This works by measuring the air pressure around the aircraft to determine the plane's altitude. But in the real world, the barometric pressure can change, so pilots use an adjustment on their altimeter to correct for that. But if the pilot and the instructor had adjusted their altimeters incorrectly, they might have believed that they were different altitudes than they were or might have had a different view between the left and the right seat. The NTSB noted that there was never a discussion of these altitude discrepancies. They also noted that they weren't releasing granular altitude data at this time as they found other discrepancies in the recordings. However, they did note that the Blackhawk's radio altimeter did provide an accurate source of data. Another thing the NTSB couldn't do was cross reference that data with GPS information as the GPS information was not recorded on the flight data recorder. About two minutes later, the instructor noted that they were flying at about 300 feet. The pilot flying acknowledged saying they would descend down to 200. The next interesting fact that comes from the Blackhawk's cockpit voice recorder happens at 08:46 zero one or just under two minutes before the accident. At that moment, air traffic control calls out that the traffic is a CRJ circling to Runway 33. If our traffic is south of the world's greatest CRJ at 1,000 square feet from Runway 3. But the Blackhawk cockpit voice recorder does not hear the term circling. That means that even though the Blackhawk knew there was a CRJ, they did not know its location. But the most damning evidence from the Blackhawk's cockpit voice recorder happened seven seconds before the accident at eight forty seven and forty two seconds. At that time, the air traffic controller called the Blackhawk asking them to pass behind the CRJ. But the Blackhawk pilots keyed their mic before the transmission was done, blanking out the portion that said pass behind. Once again, they missed that crucial location information. Aircraft, including the CRJ and Blackhawk in this accident, use VHF transmissions to communicate between other aircraft and the ground. These radios use amplitude modulation. That's the same modulation used in AM radios in your car. This has the benefit of working over very long distances, but at the expense of clarity and readability. This also has the downside that only one person can be transmitting on the same frequency at any given time. Modern digital radios like those found in many police forces offer a very similar range but with dramatically increased clarity. Many also allow multiple stations to be transmitting at the same time. But we don't use those in aviation for fear of breaking backwards compatibility. The instructor then replied to the air traffic control saying that the traffic was in sight and requested visual separation. The aircraft's in sight, pressure's in sight. Separate. Off of the radio, the instructor relayed to the pilot flying that they believed ATC was asking them to move left towards the banks of the river. At the time of the accident, the Blackhawk's radio altimeter read 278 feet. However, as we noted earlier, this might not have been what the pilot saw on the altimeter in front of them. At the impact, the Blackhawk was flying nearly completely level with only point five degrees nose up pitch and a left roll of 1.6 degrees. From the data recovered, the NTSB notes there was no electronic warnings in the Blackhawk of the CRJ that was approaching. They also noted that the Blackhawk was not transmitting ADSB information and they were investigating for the cause. But the story is a little bit different from the CRJ cockpit. At 08:47 forty, around twenty seconds before the accident, they did get a TCAS warning calling out traffic traffic. This means that the CRJ was made aware of the traffic but wasn't given any traffic avoidance instructions because they were under 500 feet at the time. These traffic avoidance instructions are inhibited below a certain altitude to prevent the system from telling a plane to descend into the ground. Two seconds before the accident, the CRJ's radio altimeter reported that it was at 313 feet above ground. The CRJ was descending at 448 feet per minute or about seven and a half feet per second, but this does still leave about a 25 foot discrepancy between the two radio altimeters. Most terrifying in the CRJ data is that the pilots commanded strong control inputs indicating they saw the accident coming. At the time of the accident, the CRJ was at a nine degree nose up attitude and rolled 11 degrees to the left. The elevator on the CRJ was almost at its maximum nose up position. The pilots did everything they could to avoid it. The NTSB noted that they're gonna be performing simulations like the ones I do on this channel to see what the Blackhawk pilots may or may not have seen. They did note that the Blackhawk was equipped with an ADS B transmitter, but they don't know if it was turned off or if it was otherwise broken. They still have a lot of work to do, but this data sheds a lot of light on the accident.
