Educated guess: since the DCA PAT25 crash and all the scrutiny of both those missions and the crews (e.g., CPT Lobach having such low flight time), MUSL is feeling the heat and trying to get everyone up to a level that will pass muster.

Last year, 67 lives were tragically & avoidably lost when the American Airlines Flight 5342 & Army PAT25 collided in Washington, DC. I urge Speaker Johnson, Leader Scalise, & Whip Emmer to honor the will of the House, which resoundingly voted for the ROTOR Act, & pass it under a rule.

same time, a U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk (PAT25) was transiting the river corridor on a night-vision-goggles evaluation flight.
They met over the Potomac.

for whatever reason I was under the impression that PAT25 went 'dark' or hopped to the wrong channel on the radio

yep. PAT25 had the CRJ visible almost the whole time.

Tower controller 100% recognized that this didn’t look good and asked pat25 TWICE if they had the RJ in sight. What was he supposed to do, get out there and fly the helicopter for them?

Good to see that the NTSB has finally been told to stop using "Bombardier" which no longer exists for commercial aviation and MHI does not have rights to use that trademark,

like you watch these and you see just how FAST they can happen, but PAT25 said they had visual on the CRJ so who knows really. would be interesting

Yes, yes, and yes agreed on all. Especially the ADS-B given the ominous finding and suggestion in the prelim report that the PAT25’s altitude values in the flight data recorder were invalid and may have affected other instruments.

I agree most of the blame is with the B-52, but based on the DCA Prelim report the PAT25 also deviated from norms. The helicopter route was a disaster waiting to happen, but the CVR is missing ATC transmissions and at one point the two pilots call out 2 different altitudes and just don’t discuss it

Das NTSB empfiehlt die Schließung der Hubschrauberroute 4 über den Potomac. Die Route hatte #PAT25 genutzt, als er mit #AA5342 kollidierte. Zwischen Okt 21 und Dez 24 war es zwischen dieser Route und dem Anflug auf Bahn 33 des Ronald Reagan Airport zu über 15000 Abstandsunterschreitungen gekommen.

Neue Erkenntnisse zur Kollision von #PAT25 und #AA5342. Möglicherweise hat die Besatzung des Hubschraubers den entscheidenden Teil des letzten Funkspruchs des Lotsen nicht gehört. Außerdem wird die Kalibrierung des Höhenmessers geprüft.
