I'm struggling to find the words because it's staggering that a commercial airliner was involved in a midair collision. Commercial flights have a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) designed to prevent such incidents by guiding pilots on how to avoid nearby aircraft. This collision raises serious questions about safety protocols, especially given the advanced training of pilots and technology available in 2025. Investigators have a significant task ahead to understand how this occurred, particularly with a military helicopter involved. I'm just stunned by this event.

Commercial flights are equipped for ages with a system called TCAS -- Traffic collision Avoidance System. It tells the pilots in the cockpit how to avoid other airplanes nearby. It is a system that came about because of mid-air collisions with commercial airliners and small general aviation aircraft, commercial airliners and helicopters.

A midair collision involving a commercial airliner is shocking, especially given the advanced technology in use, such as the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). This system alerts pilots to nearby aircraft and instructs them to climb or descend to avoid collisions. The occurrence of this incident raises serious questions about safety protocols in aviation, particularly since it happened in 2025 when pilots are highly trained and technology is sophisticated. Investigators face a significant challenge in understanding how a commercial airliner collided with a military helicopter, specifically a Blackhawk, which is not commonly used by others. The situation is truly astonishing.

The conversation centers on a debate regarding a helicopter and commercial jet collision. One participant argues that the incident suggests intentional sabotage, citing the helicopter's sharp turn and its presence in busy airspace. The other counters that the pilot likely made a mistake during a training flight, emphasizing the difficulty of visibility in the cockpit and the possibility of human error. Both sides present questions and evidence to support their views, with one insisting on the need for rational explanations over conspiracy theories.

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex I joined X 10 years before you did. I don’t give a damn if you think I’m full of shit, because I’m right. You just can’t understand it and that actually makes sense. Not your fault. I’m just wondering what’s driving you so hard to think it’s intentional sabotage?

@DraftDonks - The Donks

You screen grabbed that video from another X user didn't you? Haha you haven't been right...again you said the flight path video uses ADSB, which is inaccurate since the chopper wasn't using it. I've already brought up many reasons why....now answer my questions - assuming that flight path video is accurate (and not a fake video), why does it make a sharp turn directly into the plane? Why does it look like it was headed straight towards the plane from miles away? Why is a military aircraft flying in busy commerical airspace? How does a Blackhawk with all the technology it has not see a commercial jet in a major airspace and city with plenty of illumation? Why do you deny sabotage as a possibility when you can remote control these Blackhawks, manned or un-manned? Why did the pilot acknowledge to ATC he had sight of the plane? Given all this circumstantial evidence it can't be an accident - at best extreme negligence but leans towards intentional more than anything.

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex Do you have answers to any of those questions? Any credible theories that could possibly be real? Or do you just know they make no sense to you, so there must be more to it? Because it sounds like you are saying this can’t be accidental, so it must be sabotage. That’s not weird?

@DraftDonks - The Donks

Yes, based on all the evidence it is not an accident. Again, at best extreme negligence. And I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand - I'm saying I think that flight path video that is circulating might be fake. You said it uses ADSB, not MLAT - the Blackhawk was using MLAT. If it is not fake, then how do you explain it making a sharp turn directly into the plane? If the chopper kept going straight it would have missed it. Yea, an amateur "mistake" right, by the best pilots in the world right?

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex So it must be sabotage based on nothing but the fact that it doesn’t make sense to you? Not a malfunction of some sort with the helo, or human error, or any other possiblity. It has to be intentional sabotage… cmon man! You can’t give one reason why you think that?

@DraftDonks - The Donks

@mhelmly @ADSBex For the millionth time, I gave you about 5 good reasons why. Yet you still can't give ONE reason or evidence why you think it was an accident.

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex I think he was a young pilot on a training flight. It was an executive transport helo so they fly in busy commercial airports at night, so they train to do so. I think he saw the plane behind the CRJ that was also on ATC audio and thought it was the one

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex They were talking about. That made him think he had more time. He maneuvered the way he did because he’s in what the local pilots call the “helicopter corridor” and tons of them have been posting that they’ve flown there 100’s of times and that it looked normal to them.

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex I think they never saw each other, at least not until it was too late. He’s flying forward and banking, meaning he’s facing nose down. The CRJ is landing, so it’s nose up to get more lift. The angle of each made it impossible to see each other.

@DraftDonks - The Donks

How does a Blackhawk not have the capability to see a commercial jet? It wasn't on the radar at all? Blackhawks have the ability to even see stealth aircraft. I'm not buying the narrative, sorry. It sounds fucking ridiculous, just think rationally - "let's train our new pilots in heavy commercial airspace where the altitude is so low you can't detect other aircrafts. The technology is the best in the world where it can see stealth aircraft though it isn't good enough to see a commercial jet." Despite all the technical jargon, quick reminder this is the video of the collision. Yea, I'm sure the chopper couldn't see the jet as it headed straight towards it from miles away.

@mhelmly - Matt Helmly

@DraftDonks @ADSBex You can’t hardly see shit in those cockpits completely level. Impossible at the angles they were at. Pilots don’t fly looking out the windshield like driving a car. CRJ on landing was definitely watching the gauges on the screens. A helo pilot tends to look down or at the screens

I’m reflecting on the tragic collision involving Pat25 and American Eagle 5342, which resulted in a crash into the Potomac River. There are so many unanswered questions about the miscommunications that led to this disaster. Why was Pat25 in the same airspace as the passenger jet? Why didn’t they receive crucial orders from the military base or warnings from the control tower? It raises serious concerns about airspace security, especially near military bases. My heart goes out to the victims and their families, including Chief Ryan O'Hara, who leaves behind a wife and young son.

I shared new footage of the plane and helicopter crash in Washington, noting it seemed avoidable. Others echoed this sentiment, pointing out the helicopter was off course and flying too high. There were rumors about the pilot's identity, but I found those sources unreliable and likely clickbait. Jo Ellis, a Black Hawk pilot, clarified that she was not involved and condemned the false associations. Tragically, Eaves, a Chief Warrant Officer, died in the crash, and his family is seeking prayers for all affected.

Eaves died in the crash too. His wife, Carrie Eaves, confirmed his death on Facebook and asked for prayers for all affected families. As per reports, Eaves was the Chief Warrant Office 2 of Mississippi. He grew up in the Brooksville and graduated from Central Academy. He said to be with Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The helicopter, part of the 12th Aviation Battalion at Davison Army Airfield in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, was on a training mission when it collided with American Airlines Flight 5342. The plane, originating from Wichita, Kansas, was attempting to land when the collision occurred just before 8 p.m. The helicopter carried three troops, and the plane had 64 people on board.

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.

5/ Madness. It appears that PAT-25 flew slightly outside of its assigned corridor and popped up to 350 feet from its maximum allowed 200, and an aviation catastrophe ensued, resulting in the loss of 67 lives. How long does it take a Black Hawk that is cruising along at between 100 and 170 knots to rise a mere 150 feet in altitude? Seconds. And four seconds after impact, the fiery wreckage of American Eagle Flight 5342 impacted the icy Potomac, killing all 64 aboard. Video of below screen capture at this link. https://t.co/jlvIUZ1EI5

Video Transcript AI Summary
Another aircraft mishap occurred involving a Learjet medevac flight that crashed shortly after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia. The flight was routine until it experienced a sudden emergency. The copilot's calm communication indicated normal operations before the incident. The aircraft likely stalled due to disrupted airflow over the wings, possibly caused by an improper center of gravity or engine failure. This stall resulted in a steep nose dive, leading to the crash. While the exact cause remains unknown, it's important to note that flying is still safe. Despite recent accidents, aviation remains one of the safest modes of transportation, with millions of successful flights occurring regularly. Pilots are highly trained, and the aviation system is robust.

Speaker 0: Well, unfortunately, we have another aircraft mishap to talk about, and I wanna talk in this video about what I think happened, in the airplane outside of Northeast Philly, the Learjet that went down, just last night, and how incredibly rare it is to have two back to back major accidents like this. But let's take a look at what happened last night in Philadelphia. Speaker 1: Medevac, Med Service Zero Five Six on departure, turn right ending 2 Niner 0, Runway 2 4 for takeoff, 125010. Speaker 0: So the situation here is it's a medevac flight. It's a Learjet, a Lear fifty five. It's a very nice jet. And it's going from Northeast Philadelphia, an airport I know a great deal about. I flew, all the time in my military days, out of Willow Grove. I was there for about a dozen years, and that's right in the vicinity of Northeast Philadelphia. They fly a lot of these medevac flights, to various places around the world even, but this one's going to Springfield, Illinois. They take off off a Runway 24, about sixty seconds later, they crash and, there's lots of conjecture about why that happened. I'll tell you in a minute what I think happened. Again, remember, this is just my conjecture about it. There's going to be a whole forensic redo of this whole flight and that will be the details that come out in the days, weeks, and months to come. But let's take a look at what we know so far. Speaker 1: Medevac med service fifty six contact facility departure 123.8. 1 20 3 8, Montana Rosara, 50 6 Medevac. Thank you. Good day. Speaker 0: Okay. Let me stop it right there. So this is a routine departure out of any airport. It could take place anywhere around the world. And Medevac takes off. And as soon as they're airborne, they're not they're four or 500 feet above the ground when they get handed off to departure control, so they're given a frequency. What I want you to key into here is the voice of the copilot who's talking on the radios. It's completely calm. It's completely normal. It's completely routine. Nothing's going on just yet on this airplane, and I can get that from listening to the tone, in the voice. And remember, in aviation, there are three priorities and they go in this order. Aviate, navigate, communicate in that order. So the first thing is make sure you fly the airplane. That's the aviate part. Keep the airplane the blue side up as we say in aviation. Navigate is the next thing. Where are you headed? Where where are you going? Right? That was an impact in the, in the Reagan incident, just at the beginning of the week. And then communicate. That's the third of your priorities. It's not the top of the list. And what's gonna happen here is, you know, to hear another word from these guys. It was absolutely routine when they got handed off, and something happens immediately that causes this airplane to crash, and I'll give you my thoughts on that in just a second. Speaker 2: Net service zero five six Philadelphia. Net service zero five six Philadelphia. Speaker 0: So Philadelphia is expecting the handoff from this medevac flight, and they don't hear anything from them. They never checked in. Something was going on in that cockpit that was preoccupying them that from the time they got the handoff from tower to dialing the frequency and talking to Philadelphia, they were busy. They're probably doing a checklist. They're they're trying to handle whatever emergency it is that is now developed, and it developed that fast. Philadelphia is gonna call them a couple of times. Tower is gonna try them next. Speaker 1: Head evac mid service zero five six Northeast tower. Contact Philly One Two Three Point Eight. Speaker 0: This is this is absolutely normal. They'll go back and forth between the tower and Philadelphia. You see over on the side of your screen here a schematic of the actual video of what's happening to this airplane. I want you to note the steep angle that the airplane is flying at before it impacts the ground. Speaker 2: Med service zero five six coming. Speaker 1: Medevac mid service northeast tower. Speaker 0: So they're gonna continue to call, this airplane. They've already crashed. They're never gonna respond. And this is a tragedy. And, again, we watch this and our hearts just go out to the people on board that airplane and the people on the ground, as well. So what happened here? Well, we don't know a whole lot. And, again, in the long run, we're gonna find out the details. There's a couple of things that take place here, and I'm looking at the angle of the airplane as it hits the ground. That steep angle doesn't happen the the pilots can't create that. This isn't a matter of the pilot pushed over the airplane. It would be very hard to create that that steep an angle from that altitude. Most likely, this airplane stalled. And now what's a stall? A stall is not like in your car where the engine just stops running. A stall in an airplane is when the wing the the flow of air over the wing is disrupted. It stops flowing properly and then that wing loses lift. Typically, when that happens and again, there are several critical phases of flight. The most critical is the takeoff phase of flight. Why is that? You're the heaviest you're ever gonna be. You've got your power pushed all the way up and you're going slow. You're gonna accelerate as you get up to altitude. You're gonna reconfigure the airplane by bringing the landing gear up, retracting the flaps and those sort of things, so the airplane becomes even more aerodynamic. So at this point, they're at the most, what we would call in aviation, most critical phase of flight, and something happens to disrupt the lift over the wings. That's my conjecture on this. At that point, the the nose of the airplane, which is kinda up like this, is gonna drop steeply. It's gonna fall through. One of the wings is gonna stop creating lift and the airplane's gonna either go on its back or the nose is gonna come sharply down, and that's where you get that steep angle now that you see on the screen where they impacted the ground. Now if you're up at altitude and that happens, you have altitude to lose to recover because the air will start flowing back over that wing as the nose drops through. When you're this close to the ground, there's no time to recover. And that's what happened, to these folks, I think. Why would the airplane stall? One of two possible big reasons. One is the center of gravity on the airplane was off. Maybe it was way too far in the back, and it caused the nose to pitch up, which would create a disruption in the lift over the wing. The air is not flowing smoothly over the wing, or they lost an engine or two and they lost all their thrust. Let's put it that way. They lost, enough thrust that the, the airplane stalled and it the nose fell through. So at this point now, we're not gonna get anything else from from Philadelphia or anybody else. I do want you to look at a couple times at the angle, of this flight, and I want you to to understand, that this airplane didn't get airborne for more than about sixty seconds. When we look at its flight path, it comes straight off a Runway 24. It's climbing out straight ahead as it would have been cleared to do. At the very end of this, video that we just watched, there's a little veer to the left before they impact the ground, and that would be characteristic also of a stall. The left wing was the one that probably dipped down first. The nose fell through, and the airplane went just slightly off to the left. I'm grabbing a lot from just a little bit of the video here, but, again, it's very sad. Now what does this have to do with the accident in outside of Reagan? Well, the two most critical phases of flight obviously are taking off and landing. Now where the two incidents are really totally different is that there's a a lot to look at in the DCA accident. The regional jet was, in a very tight airspace. They were cleared to land. The airspace in front of them, behind them, and on both sides of them belongs to that commercial jet. The helicopter was talking to the tower. They accepted visual separation rules from the tower. They said they had the airplane in sight, and my conjecture on that video was they were looking at the wrong airplane. They thought they had visual separation on the airplane. The only problem was it wasn't the airplane the tower was talking about. That's human error. Again, we're gonna find out in the weeks and months ahead what actually happened, but I think that played a a huge factor in it. In this one, we simply don't know. All we know is that there the copilot had a completely normal voice, and from the time he got handed that frequency to start talking to departure control, something happened and it happened quickly. It happened so quickly that the airplane stalled, in my opinion, and then just did that nosedive down into the ground. Now the question that's gonna come back to all of us is this, is it safe to fly? And I get I've I've been inundated with emails and texts over the last few days. Captain Steve, tell us it's safe to fly. And the answer is absolutely yes, it's safe to fly. Look, I want you to put this in perspective. Every day, all around the world, there are tens of thousands of departures, takeoffs, and landings all around the world. That goes on day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. The last time there was a major airline accident in this country, in The US, with fatalities was over a dozen years ago. I can't even remember the last time there was a meteor collision like there was a DCA this week. It's been decades since that has happened, and there have been millions of flight events that have gone on in between that. The problem is when when two accidents take place so close to each other, boy, it really makes us nervous, and I understand that, folks. I get that. You're asking me, is it safe to get on an airplane? Here's what I'm gonna tell you. I'm about to get on an airplane tomorrow. I'm gonna fly from Charlotte Douglas International Airport all the way over to London, and I'm gonna bring 300 of my best friends with me. It's absolutely safe to get in an airplane. Your pilots are exceedingly well trained. They are very seasoned and very experienced. And again, the system has not failed. These are just two coincidences that took place so close to each other. Yeah. It does make us kinda nervous, and I understand that. If you can, come along with me tomorrow night. I got the 08:30 departure out of Charlotte Douglas. I'm headed to London, and, we're gonna have a good time together. Hopefully, I can put all my passengers at ease before we depart because I understand how nervous this gets. But as I always say at the end of my videos, I want you to fly safe, and, folks, you can rest assured that the system is okay and you can fly safe. Well, there's my thoughts on it. I'm captain Steve.

Lockheed Martin, Ericsson, AT&T, FCC, NTIA, NTSB, FAA+++ regarding our Critical Infrastructure... For starters page 17 of the Ericsson Report breaks down how in October of 2012 Applied Communications Sciences relocated its HQ to Basking Ridge, New Jersey, occupying the former HQ of AT&T Wireless. In August of 2022 – Lockheed Martin used a mmWave network to send data from one of its Black Hawk helicopters to an operations center in less than five minutes, which is significantly quicker than the 30 minutes that it currently takes Black Hawk crews to remove data from the helicopter, and then for extraction. Lockheed Martin's Integrated Vehicle Health Management System (IVHMS) is a comprehensive monitoring and diagnostic platform designed to enhance the reliability and safety of aircraft, notably the UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter. IVHMS utilizes hundreds of onboard sensors to collect real-time data on various parameters, including engine performance, airframe integrity, and vibration levels. In a notable demonstration, Lockheed Martin and AT&T showcased the integration of IVHMS with the 5G .MIL network. They successfully transmitted health and usage data from a UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter through an AT&T 5G private cellular network to the 5G .MIL pilot network. This data is crucial for assessing aircraft health, predicting maintenance needs, and ensuring operational readiness. 5G using mmWave frequencies is solely reliant on Foreign Companies that do not have our best interest in mind.

I learned that a radio transmission to the Black Hawk helicopter was possibly interrupted just moments before it collided with an American Airlines flight carrying over 60 people. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy noted conflicting information about the helicopter's altitude. A critical air traffic control transmission directing the Black Hawk to pass behind another aircraft may not have been received due to interference. Additionally, data suggests the helicopter's mic key might have been pressed during the transmission, and there are concerns about a potential altimeter malfunction.

JUST IN: Radio transmission to the Black Hawk helicopter looks like it was possibly "interrupted" just moments before it collided with the American Airlines flight carrying over 60 people. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy: Cites there is conflicting information regarding the Black Hawk's altitude. The National Transportation Safety Board says that a key transmission from the air traffic control (ATC) tower may not have been received by the helicopter pilot. "At 8:47:42 - or 17 seconds before impact - a radio transmission from the tower was audible on both CVRs directing the Black Hawk to pass behind the CRJ." "The instructions from ATC were to pass behind the CRJ. That transmission was interrupted, it was stepped on..." "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." Homendy describes that the helicopter mic key may have been pressed at the time of the transmission. The agency is looking into "conflicting information" regarding the Black Hawk's altitude, possibly suggesting that the Black Hawk may have had a malfunctioning altimeter.

Video Transcript AI Summary
At 08:47, 17 seconds before impact, the tower directed the Blackhawk to pass behind the CRJ, but the Blackhawk crew may not have received the full message due to a brief mic key. At 08:47:44, the Blackhawk crew reported traffic in sight and requested visual separation, which was approved. Seven seconds before impact, the CRJ rolled out on final for Runway 33 at 344 feet and 143 knots. One second before impact, the CRJ increased its pitch to nine degrees nose up, with elevators near maximum. Two seconds before the collision, the CRJ was at 313 feet, nine degrees nose up, 11 degrees left wing down, descending at 448 feet per minute. The Blackhawk's radio altitude at collision was 278 feet, with a slight nose-up pitch and left roll. The wreckage examination will help determine the exact collision angle. The Blackhawk's radio altitude at impact was 278 feet, but that altitude may not have been reflected on the altimeters in the cockpit due to conflicting data.

Speaker 0: At 08:47 forty two or seventeen seconds before impact, a radio transmission from the tower was audible on both CVRs directing the Blackhawk to pass behind the CRJ. CVR data from the Blackhawk indicated that the portion of the transmission that stated pass behind the may not have been received by the Blackhawk crew. Transmission was stepped on by a point eight second mic key from the Blackhawk. The Blackhawk was keying the mic to communicate with ATC. In response, at 08:47 forty four, the Blackhawk crew indicated that traffic was in sight and requested visual separation, which was approved by DCA tower. The instructor pilot then told the pilot flying they believed ATC was asking for the helicopter to move left toward the East Bank Of The Potomac. At 08:47 fifty two or seven seconds before impact, the CRJ rolled out on final for Runway 33. The CRJ was at a radio altitude of 344 feet, 143 knots. At eight forty seven fifty eight or one second before impact, the CRJ began to increase its pitch, reaching about nine degrees nose up at the time of collision. FDR data show the CRJ elevators were deflected near their maximum nose up travel. The last radio altitude recorded for the CRJ was 313 feet and was recorded two seconds prior to the collision. The CRJ pitch at this time was again nine degrees nose up, and roll was 11 degrees left wing down. The CRJ was descending at 448 feet per minute. The radio altitude of the Blackhawk at the time of the collision was 278 feet and had been steady for the previous five seconds. The Blackhawk pitch at the time of the collision was about a half degree nose up with a left roll of 1.6 degrees.

At 08:47, 17 seconds before impact, a radio transmission from the tower directed the Blackhawk to pass behind the CRJ. Black Hawk CVR data suggests the "pass behind" instruction may not have been received due to a 0.8-second mic key from the Black Hawk as they communicated with ATC. At 08:47:44, the Black Hawk crew reported traffic in sight and requested visual separation, which DCA Tower approved. The instructor pilot told the pilot flying they believed ATC was asking the helicopter to move left toward the East Bank Of The Potomac. There is conflicting information in the data, so the Black Hawk's altitude for its entire route is not being released.

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.

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.

The NTSB investigation into a helicopter collision revealed a discrepancy in altitude perception between the female pilot and the instructor. Concerns were raised about the FAA's altitude restrictions and the reliance on barometric altimeters, which can lead to significant errors. The helicopter crew reported seeing the jet but lacked communication about collision avoidance. The instructor's role was questioned, suggesting he may have prioritized evaluation over safety. Future studies aim to clarify visibility issues and the effectiveness of real-time tracking in preventing such incidents.

@retirednavypm - RetiredNavyPM

I remain convinced there was a miscalculation in the error budget that led the FAA to determine helicopter pilots could safely operate at 200 feet at the location of the collision. A pilot relying on a barometric altimeter could reasonably conclude that staying below an indicated 200 feet ensured safety. This assumption was flawed. Altimeters based on barometric pressure are subject to errors that, when compounded, can be significant enough to guarantee a collision in some instances. Yes, there were contributing secondary factors. The helicopter crew twice reported having the jet in sight. The forthcoming visual studies will confirm the physics and probabilities of this claim and its implications. If they truly saw and heard the warnings about the jet’s location, they should have recognized they had 90–120 seconds before it reached the intersection point—ample time to deconflict, slow down, or change direction. Yet, there was no recorded conversation about deconfliction. To me, this suggests that standard practice did not emphasize identifying and reacting to a collision intersection point within roughly 100 seconds when the ATC Tower alerted the helicopter team that a jet was using Runway 33. Moreover, it’s likely that pilots were too focused on navigating the corridor to perform real-time collision avoidance calculations without prior planning and briefing on major risk areas like this. This raises the question: Did the pre-flight briefing include discussions on how to respond when ATC alerted the crew about Runway 33 landings? Such planning would seem prudent—unless they relied on the FAA’s 200-foot altitude restriction, which brings me back to my central point: FAA engineers failed to properly account for error budget analysis. The altitude restriction at this location should have been set at 75 feet. However, I doubt the military would have accepted such a restriction while flying at night at 100 knots over a dark river. This would have necessitated one of two outcomes: 1.Requiring helicopters to remain under ATC tower control, or 2.Mandating that pilots actively plot and track intersecting aircraft in real time using time-based calculations rather than relying solely on altitude separation. The latter approach—managing collision risk through speed and course adjustments—would have been the only effective way to ensure safety without positive ATC control. There is discussion of future real-time plotting displays in cockpits. Perhaps these could work, provided pilots understand the implications of increased workload and distraction. However, experience suggests this may not be a reliable solution. In Vietnam, pilots often disabled certain warning alarms during critical moments, such as final approaches to drop ordnance, because they could not manage additional distractions. Given the challenges of flying at 100 knots and 200 feet over a river at night, I am not convinced that real-time plotting would be sufficient. Perhaps adding a fourth crew member dedicated to situational awareness and collision avoidance could be a more viable solution.

@retirednavypm 1. The ATC msg that the CRJ was diverted to runway 33 was not heard by the Blackhawk so they may have moved to the center of the Potomac for separation from a plane they thought was heading North on their left. There were 2 occasions when the instructor corrected the altitude. https://t.co/r407BtCzyI

We received transmissions directing the Blackhawk to pass behind the CRJ. However, the Blackhawk crew may not have received the full message due to a brief mic key from their end to communicate with ATC. At 08:47:44, the Blackhawk crew reported visual contact with the traffic and requested visual separation, which air traffic control approved. The instructor pilot then told the pilot flying that they believed ATC was asking the helicopter to move left, toward the East Bank of the Potomac.

@retirednavypm - RetiredNavyPM

The visual studies should inform the NTSB what could be seen and what might confuse them. When the CRJ was 1200 feet just south of Woodrow Wilson bridge (about 90 to 120 seconds away), the ATC Tower advised the helicopter of location and that it was going to land on Runway 33. The helicopter replied they had CJR in sight and wanted permission to manage separation based on visibility. I presume that meant they were tracking something (CJR) located just south of that bridge and at 1200 feet elevation for the next 90 seconds or so. I am looking forward to seeing what simulation shows regarding they could see and/or mistake. I was surprised the voice recording showed essentially no discussion of tracking the CJR.

@retirednavypm - RetiredNavyPM

Also, I note your comment that the helicopter flight recorder at this time does not cite the word ‘circle’. I note NTSB does not say that the words “Runway 33” were missing, only that “circle” was missing. They said their recorder team was evaluating. As you suggest, if the helicopter team did not hear CJR was planning Runway 33 verses Runway 1, that would be significant it terms of raising the probability of misidentification. What the helicopter pilots are likely going to see are bright white dots floating in the air and slowly descending. The dot which was the CJR would also have a left horizontal motion as it tracked away from ILS on Runway 1 in order to set up for Runway 33. That would leave the dot for the next jet that was tracking for Runway 1. I would have believed you would be hard pressed to confuse the two. But that was based on initial belief the helicopter heard the CJR was re-aligning for Runway 33. It will interesting to hear what the recorder team concludes on what the helicopter heard.

@prodreamer1 - pro dreamer

@retirednavypm The instructor pilot was primarily there to evaluate the pilot rather than functioning to assist her. This was probably a timed flight with failure resulting from too slow a flight. He may also have been under pressure to not fail her by assuming control due to her incompetence

 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.

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.

I anticipated a high number of near misses, but 15,000 is more than I expected. That means one in 62 landings at that airport were too close to a helicopter. We requested analytics from Secretary Duffy, and he acknowledged the need to analyze this data. This issue may be occurring at other airports as well. Flying is safe, and thousands of flights happen without incident. However, there are gaps that need to be addressed. It's crucial to share this data between the Department of Defense and the FAA. Pilots from the 12th Aviation were unaware they were contributing to these near misses because they hadn't been informed. This is something we need to work on, and I'm confident it will be resolved.
