[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hoping someone who is knowledgable about aviation can answer this, but why did the helicopter pilot ask for visual clearance? In the audio you can hear the pilot asking for permission for visual clearance which was approved by the ATC, but why? What would it be beneficial to the pilot?[/quote] It’s standard. It’s nothing out of the ordinary. ATC just must approve. https://www.reddit.com/r/ATC/s/f55jNolBC4 [/quote] I understand that it's standard but I still don't get why the pilot wanted it in the first place. [/quote] The helo was passing through DCA airspace. While DCA is operating, the stream of takeoffs and departures are nearly continuous. So in order to cut through, as the flight plan dictates, they fly around the incoming and outgoing plane traffic. [/quote]
