PSA CRJ-700 AA midair collision

[Wardogg]

Going to be a long night. Praying for the best of outcomes.

The ADS-B altitude readout went from 400-900-25 in about a second. Truly awful.

 

[Boots2Wings]

Check in with your people…
Its a sad night.

[azmedic]

Ugh. Praying for a positive outcome for everyone involved. This is devastating

Starts at 17:30 in the recording when an aircraft is instructed to “pass behind the CRJ”


Absolutely terrible

Just heard from a friend that the helicopter was a Blackhawk, not DC police

Just heard from a friend that the helicopter was a blackhawk

FAA just confirmed that as well.

I've seen a few close calls between helicopters and aircraft at dca I feel like. Any thoughts as to any reason TCAS would not have gone off?

How the • does that happen in the what’s supposed to be the best-surveillance airspace in the world

Surveilled for intrusions into P-56, not so much for unscheduled formation flying.

 

[ctab5060X]

FAA just confirmed 5342 from ICT and a Blackhawk.

Doesn’t appear to be a factor.

Glad you’re safe. Don’t hesitate to reach out to talk to anyone of us if you need to.

Might have been too low for an RA. We used to get TAs a lot from helicopters when leaving Vegas.
