Army Blackhawk pilot in DC crash failed to heed flight instructor’s command 15 seconds before deadly collision: report​

The Army Blackhawk pilot involved in the Washington, DC, plane crash failed to heed her flight instructor’s warning just 15 seconds before the deadly crash that killed 67 people, according to a new report.

Moments before the deadly Jan. 29 crash near Reagan International Airport, Capt. Rebecca Lobach missed an order from co-pilot Andrew Eaves, who was overseeing her training mission, to change course and avoid the descending American Airlines jet, the New York Times reported.

Along with the error, officials found that the pilots “stepped on” some of the air traffic controller’s instructions, meaning they accidentally cut him off when pressing the button to talk over the radio and likely missed important information.

“Turning left would have opened up more space between the helicopter and Flight 5342, which was heading for Runway 33 at an altitude of roughly 300 feet,” The Times wrote. “She did not turn left.”

I am so sorry to hear this, but at least this puts an end to any conspiracy theories floating around. How sad. Hopefully lessons will be learnt.

Maybe I’m the minority but I would prefer if my pilots were men, not women. Women are capable of some wonderful things but they are not men and can’t do everything to the same capacity as men. I don’t think you are suggesting that by the way, I’m just sharing that sometimes the person’s gender is important to know and is relevant.

No offense to you either by the way. I know you were in law enforcement but I really don’t like when I see a woman stepping out of a police vehicle on the side of the road after stopping another car. It looks ridiculous and is not intimidating in the slightest. I just imagine how easily a female officer could compromise other officers by being overpowered by a male criminal. Same with females in the military as infantry or female firefighters. It’s just a problem waiting to happen.

You are entitled to your opinion.
