The fatal flight data from the fatal airplane CRASH in Washington DC shows a contradictory measurement value on the altitude of the passenger jet and the Army helicopter that collided near Reagan National Airport and killed all of the two aircraft. The investigator said it was.
The data of the American Airlines Flight Recorder shows 325 feet, plus or minus 25 feet altitude when a collision occurs on Wednesday. I talked to 。 However, the data in the control tower indicated a 200 -foot black Hawk helicopter. This is the maximum permissible altitude of the helicopter in this area.
The high contradiction of about 100 feet of the data has not yet been described.
Investigators are working to get data from helicopter backbox. It takes more time because it was flooded after sinking on the Potomac River, hoping to adjust the difference. They also said they would improve tower data, but they could be less reliable.

“This is a complex survey,” said NTSB investigator Brice Banning. “There are many works here. Our team works hard to collect this data.”
Banning explained in detail about the last moment from two black boxes, a cockpit and a jet that captured the sound with a cockpit and flight data just before the most fatal US aviation.
“The crew responded verbally,” said Banning. The data recorder said, “The airplane is starting to increase the pitch. The sound of the impact will be heard about a second later, and then the end of the recording.”

The investigators did not say whether the change in the angle means trying to do an avoidance operation to avoid crashes.
The collision occurred at around 9 pm of EST while the local jet aircraft were preparing to land at the airport. Jet from Wichita, Kansas, had 64 people on board, but three soldiers were on a helicopter. No one survived the crash.
VP VANCE calls on us that we will do better work because of the safety of aeronauticals after the “incredible sadness” DC airplane crash.
NTSB member Todd Inman has been dissatisfied with the reporter and noted that the Board of Directors has made hundreds of recommendations to improve the unavoidable aviation safety.
“Do you want to do something about it? We adopt the recommendation of NTSB. You will save your life,” he said. “I don't have to meet such a parent again.”

The victim's family visited the Crash falling site on Sunday, and the diver was scrutinized after saying that 55 out of 67 killed were recovered, and more remains submerged for more debris. I did.
Authorities are convinced that all the victims will be collected from the chilly Potomac River.

NTSB investigators want to create a preliminary report within 30 days, but it can take at least a year to complete a complete investigation.
