Notably, the helo’s altitude appeared to be over 100 feet higher than the permissable maximum altitude ceiling given by flight restrictions for helicopters along that Potomac corridor. This would be a pilot error.

That would be pilot error, I submit to that point.
He may have had reason to do that, that I’m not aware of. I don’t know why he did that.

Is it possible there was an altimeter error on the chopper? And should ATC advise a chopper pilot who is too high?
