.edia is working really hard to bury the stark truth.

“Not only was the Black Hawk flying too high, but in the final seconds before the crash, its pilot failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, to change course.”

I read elsewhere that it wasn’t final seconds but the last 2.5 minutes the female pilot ignored multiple istructio s to lower her altitude.

But they are working mighty hard to spread the blame as many places as possible.

“Not only was the Black Hawk flying too high”

Other pilots who fly Blackhawks on that route have said the altimeter wasn’t set properly by the pilots and was showing a lower altitude than their actual altitude.

That should come out when the final NTSB report is released.

My question woul be why didn't the instructor take control? Maybe they ran out of time?
