Army VIP gold-top helicopter flights are common in busy DC air corridor

The Army Black Hawk Helicopter, known as the “Gold Tops” operated at the Davison Army Airfield in Fortberbore, Virginia, is regularly used to ferry to various facilities to various facilities, and is often a former Army official. I often talked to BLAZE NEWS, which I often go back and forth with a pentagon.

Former Army Preliminary Allegin Casey Waldankanky, the top gold VIP flight operated by the Army 12th Aeronautics is busy but highly controlled by Ronald Legan Washington National Airport near Washington. He said that it was the normal part of the air corridor traffic. , DC

“These will be the most experienced and advanced pilots in the Army,” said Waltinsky, saying, “They are the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army, the Chief of the Army, and the co -chief. They are in various places near Washington Helicopter.

The air corridor is “very highly controlled.”

In the second half of January 29, inbound from Kansas, erupting a fireball, sending both aircraft to the Potomac River, the US Army VH-60M Black Hawk Helicopter in a private airline jet and training exercises from Kansas. I collided. 67 people, including three military soldiers, 60 airlines passengers, and four airlines crew, died. There were no survivors.

The American Egre -Flight 5342 Dwight D. Eisen Hower National Airport on the left will land on Reagan National at 5:18 pm in Wichita at 8:57 pm at 5:18 pm. The aircraft was a Bombardy CRJ700 area jet operated by PSA Airlines flying as an eagle in the United States, said Robert Isom in the United States.

Wardynski stated that this type of military brass shuttle service using black hawk helicopters is common.

“It's not unusual for them to enter and exit the pentagon at night and lower the VIP,” said Wardynski.

He said that the Army had only some true gold top blackhaaw.

“Not much. They are for the Army Secretary and the Army Secretary,” said Waldinsky. “I flew to many of the normal black hawk flights of the battalion. Probably 20 or 30, but the helicopter is quite a lot of black hawks, whose president's limousine is in Cadillac. I am.

Waltinsky said that some training missions, including the continuity of the government, are always being held at night.

“This is an airfield unlike the other in the United States.”

“If they were practicing for accidental missions, the problem was called the government's continuity. The United States,” he said. “They have to do it at night.”

He said that the gold top would fly under the “Pat” call sign, which abbreviated priority air transportation. “So, when they are on the FAA radar, they will show” Pat “as their private call sign. If you are in Washington, you can see many pad flights, “said Waldinsky.

“It is very highly controlled,” said Air Corido, saying he was a gold top black hawks passenger running along the Potomac River.

“Since September 11, Washington DC has been integrated with the U.S. Army and some Air Force assets,” said WardyNSKI. “So you shouldn't be out of the course.

“You are up the river, fly down the river, come to Reagan from north or south, and you won't deviate.” “And if so, you're on the air defense radar, and people will get excited quickly.”

He said that Reagan National Airport is unusual for heavy commercial air traffic, restricted airspace, and many helicopters.

“This is an airfield, unlike the United States, in terms of the amount of control executed by the FAA and a certain army,” WardyNSKI. “The traffic of helicopters is very rare, because park police, national security squad, Pentagon, and of course large cities are flying there.”

Wardynski said a proficiency training flight, “I will practice for some kind of wartime environment where the DC may be black.” The airport has a power outage. There is no aircraft in the air. ”

Waltinsky said that Black Hawks does not have a collision avoidance system like commercial aircraft. Even these systems are unpredictable at low altitude, but he added.

He continued if the helicopter pilot and crew were training with night vision gear, if it could comply the flight due to light sensitivity and the depth of the field.

“Light is really burning up, which can be a sense of impairment, but that's the reason you practice,” said Wardynski. “Practice next to one of the busiest and most complex airports in the United States is something I don't want to do anymore.”

Former American Army, a long -standing experience of Black Hawk Mission, states that when entering and exiting Fort to Fort, local jets, blackhawks, and air traffic control may have played a major role in crashing. I did it.

“Because the airline pilot had the right to do it and was in the last descent of less than 500 feet. [the airline crew] He did not run a “head -up check”, “he told BLAZE NEWS. “They also had a precise ground approach radar, but they would warn them about these close ships.”

According to sources, helicopter crew said that the possibility of using night equipment in this environment was “I do not understand because peripheral visual acuity is limited.”

According to the air traffic control, “both aircraft is the ultimate responsibility because both aircraft has allowed both aircraft to work at the same altitude,” he said.

The news source of flame control, which has experience in air traffic control, stated that he was doubtful about the decision of the experienced Army Air Corps.

“If they felt it was necessary for such exercises, they would have returned after 11 pm, when the flights coming and going from Reagan stopped,” he said.
