💨 Abstract

A portion of northbound DC-295 is closed due to an ongoing investigation into a fatal crash. The NTSB conducted hearings on a January midair collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane over Washington D.C., which killed 67 people. Key points from the hearings include potential altimeter issues on the helicopter, inadequate communication between air traffic control and pilots, and the Army's acknowledgement of regular low-altitude helicopter flights near Reagan National Airport.
