I hope this wasn’t part of it:

"Initial indications suggest this may have been a checkride, or periodic evaluation by an experienced instructor pilot of a less experienced pilot," said Brad Bowman, a military analyst with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former Black Hawk pilot.

"A checkride, as opposed to a normal training flight, creates some unique dynamics in the cockpit. In a checkride, the less experienced pilot can be nervous and eager to not make mistakes, while the instructor pilot is watching to see how the other pilot responds to different developments," Bowman explained. [b]"Sometimes an instructor pilot will test the less experienced aviator to see how they respond, but such a technique would have been unusual and inadvisable in that location given the reduced margin for error[/b]."[/quote]

I'm assuming the black box and data recorders would have captured all this, right? Including any conversation. [/quote]

Spoiler alert: we are never finding out any of the information on the helicopters black box.

Sadly agree. This will stay classified.

Like the Luigi Mangione case, we’ll never know WTF he was actually doing or thinking all 2024.

We’ll just get the lawyer version now. [/quote]
