[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A shocking compilation of ineptitude from the people on that Blackhawk. This is the best of the best? Can’t keep their altitude correct, can’t operate with night vision goggles, can’t spot airplanes, can’t work their radio? Baffling. [/quote]

Yeah, I can’t help but agree. There needs to be a hard look at who they accept into flight school, the graduation standards, what is being taught,
and are they continuing to fly how they were trained or at some point does the flying culture deem is acceptable to go by one’s owns rules.  [/quote]

Your focus is on the wrong place. [b]It should be on the flight traffic and rules for visual separation. Safety standards clearly need to be adjusted. [/b]

Fwiw American military pilots are known as the best trained pilots in the world. Man and woman. [/quote]

Riiiight.  Accommodate dysfunctional pilots.

Sounds like admitting a chronic pilot quality problem or an overreaction to a terrible BH pilot team. [/quote]

Tell me you know nothing about aviation without saying you know nothing about aviation [/quote]

Ironically, the father of one of the American Airlines pilots killed also happened to be a retired Army Blackhawk pilot- and stated the Blackhawk pilots made very grave errors [/quote]

Link or it’s a lie [/quote]

“He believes the commercial jet followed proper procedures, but the military helicopter made a tragic error.”[/quote]

That’s a snippet that is a mischaracterization of what he said, albeit he’s not remotely an objective source.

From a similar article from this dad:

After watching the video, Tim Lilley said it seemed as though “Sam was flying just the way he was supposed to.”

“Totally speculation on my part. If they were wearing [night vision goggles], I’ve seen this before, where it’s almost impossible to see an aircraft where it’s backlit by a city,” Tim Lilley posited.

“I don’t want to blame, you know, my brothers that fly Black Hawks,” he clarified. “I flew them for 20 years, and I love those guys.”

It will take months to actually know what happened. Part of the investigation will revolve around an interaction with air traffic control in the final moments before the collision.

[/quote]

It’s not mischaracterization. He doesn’t want to point a finger before the investigation is complete, but it’s pretty clear who he thinks was in the wrong[/quote]

The father is also lobbying to have military cease flight operations at civilian airports, revamp training for pilots, and require military helicopters to use TCAS (collision avoidance system) when in class B airspace
