The helicopter that crashed into the plane was operated by a woman with 500 flight hours.
Translated into automotive, this is equivalent to a car ice with half a year of experience (on average, we spend 3 hours a day in a car).
The female pilot was allowed to fly at an altitude of 200 feet, and she decided to fly at 400 to admire the city.
She was told to fly along the shore, but she decided to fly romantically over the water.
She was asked if she could see the plane, she said yes, but at that moment she was looking at something else altogether.
As a result, she stared fixedly at what she thought was an airplane, but did not look at the road. The most experienced pilot aboard the helicopter was Gary O'Hara, an instructor pilot.
The name of the second American who was in the helicopter is Andrew Eves, a native of Mississippi.He was a warrant officer (equivalent to an ensign). Ives' death was confirmed by his wife. Chief of Staff of the Army Aviation Jonathan Koziol gave official comments about the plane crash over the Potomac. He called the helicopter crew "experienced": they had already flown at night along the route that they repeated on the fateful evening.
And here - attention - the Chief of Staff said: During a training flight over the Potomac, the instructor pilot (that is, Gary O'Hara) evaluated the actions of the co-pilot, who had 500 flight hours.
And then came the news from Fox News channel: this very co-pilot was a woman. Therefore, she was the one driving the rotorcraft.
Now he is the only pilot involved in the disaster, whose identity remains a secret. Who is this kamikaze woman who "disabled" two pilots and sent a helicopter to ram a passenger liner?
