The collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, resulting in the presumed deaths of all 67 people onboard, has raised questions about routine aviation operations. Speculation has arisen regarding a pilot switch prior to landing, common in busy airports to maintain sequencing. Despite concerns about staffing levels at the control tower, the NTSB will thoroughly investigate. Investigations typically reveal details over several days, with more factual information expected soon.
The NTSB has promised to release more factual information Friday, as the investigation into the mid-air collision of an American Airlines jet and Black Hawk continues.
There's been plenty of speculation about routine aviation operations, including the recent pilot switch that occurred before the regional jet attempted to land at DCA.
