450 hours in six years does not sound like “highly experienced” to me, especially when she spent some of that time working as a White House aide in the Biden administration. I wonder how many hours she had piloting a helicopter in the last year.

My hunch is that her “aide” job ended less than 2 weeks ago. And she probably had the connections to remain in the DC area, vs. going to another base in the hinterlands. So she was just getting back into the swing of flying during this training mission. If so, maybe (in hindsight) not such good judgement letting her train in this high risk corridor.

She prob was getting this check ride because she was returning to the Aviation Battalion after her White House stent.

Were the 450 hours totally piloting a Black Hawk??
