The airline pilot warns the potential danger of helicopters posing in the Washington region before the fatal Crash drop at Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night.
The database of the air safety issues maintained by NASA has recently described two amazing cases, including a passenger jet that almost collides with a helicopter near the airport. The database includes a pilot, aeronautic government, and other a nameless safety reports submitted to Aviation Airlines.
In April 2024, he reported that the airline captain was approaching the helicopter while approaching Reagan National. As the jet was configured to land, the pilot warned that a helicopter was about 300 feet under an airplane and was slowly climbing. Before landing safely, the pilot emptied an airplane from a potential collision.
The captain reported that Jet pilot had never been warned by a helicopter air control officer and the pilot could not see it, so he did not notice it.
The safety report included predictive warnings. Keep a safe distance between the airplane landing on Reagan and the helicopter flying up and down on the Potmax River near the airport.
A similar incident occurred in October 2022, and reported that the captain of the airline had almost collided with a helicopter lifted from a nearby hospital. Jet collision prevention technology warned pilots for potential disasters, sounded cockpit alarms, and moved the plane to a high altitude. The captain estimated that the plane had arrived within 300 feet of the helicopter.
