Mmm. Sounds sub-opimal. Reminds me of a hood...
Maybe they ought to consider doing “coninuity” training out in the desert somewhere — in sims...
Simulators are no substitute for the real thing. All military aircraft transit from home base to training areas. Helos are no different and fly in, around and through terminal control areas on a routine basis without incident. Prior to entering, crews get permission and generally follow directions to safely enter and exit the area. This flight was obviously fouled up and ended tragically.
