The co-pilot of the Black Hawk that crashed into a passenger plane in DC , killing everyone on board in both aircraft, was a woman who was being evaluated.
The female pilot has not been named but Fox News reported it was a woman with 500 hours of flying of experience, which is considered a 'normal' amount...
Army chopper may have been flying higher than approved
The Black Hawk involved in the crash appears to have been flying too high and outside its approved flight path during the tragedy on Wednesday, The New York Times reported.
The chopper was reportedly supposed to be flying in a different location and lower to the ground - no higher than 200 feet - when it hit the passenger jet.
It was reportedly flying at above 300 feet instead, and about a half-mile off the approved route when it hit the jet.
The pilot in charge of the Army chopper confirmed vidual sight of the American Airlines plane, and air traffic control told him to follow the route and stay behind the plane.
But the pilot did not follow the intended route, people briefed on the matter told the NYT.…

Just sayin …
“LIVE Black Hawk co-pilot was woman who was being evaluated at time of DC plane crash: Live updates”
Anyone know what the term “evaluated” means in the LGBT community? It must mean something different, as everything else means something different.
1/2 mile off route.
Weather & visibility was clear.
Somebody is being mis-gendered.
It was reported yesterday that it was a “proficiency test” flight. The pilot had 1,500 hours in that type of aircraft, the copilot 500.
It was a transgender. Wasnt a “she”. Reported on other outlets
No.
Pilot was male.
CO-Pilot was female.
We don’t need to look for trannies behind every blade of grass. (I can understand the tendency to do so, though)
This thread is FUBAR
If the pilot was trans and was just given their papers to leave piloting, I could see why this happened.
I’m not sure about the pilot and co-pilot’s identifications. All I know is on X liberals kept using an identification of a white officer with his picture labeled as the “crew chief” of the black hawk and demanding that’s the proof it’s not DEI. However, why would only one name be released and the pilot’s withheld?
Also, there is a MUCH clearer video circulating on X right now. Either absolutely incompetence on part of the black hawk at best, or intentional at worst, from that video.
This hasn’t been confirmed.
This stuff is getting out of hand...Here in FR there are 101 different reasons for the crash...
No, that was not at all certain, what with the sloppy and ad hoc phraseology employed between pilot and
controller.
The FAA Order 7110.65 delineates the correct verbiage to be used with "visual separation" and the exchange between the
two actors isn't even close.
If the Blackhawk was 1/2 mile off their approved route, and on an intersection course with a jetliner, they should have been getting screamed at by ATC.
This isn’t the only thread.
There is a trannie helicopter pilot who is very negative about trump but she/he has said she was not involved on facebook

In 2020, as a Staff Sergeant, I applied and was accepted into the Army’s Warrant Officer Flight Training program. I completed Warrant Officer Candidate School, SERE School (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape), and the UH60 Black Hawk helicopter course. During the Pandemic and flight training, I realized that I had repressed my gender dysphoria symptoms and was finally at a point in my life and career where I could face them. I sought therapy and learned what options were available. I returned home from flight school and flew with my unit for a year before taking next steps. After much counseling and discussion with my spouse, we agreed that for my health I needed to take steps towards transition.
The EO on DEI in the FAA was issued a week ago before the crash, not this morning.
