      Consider the following, thats a VIP company blackhawk. Where should they practice picking up VIPs? The best kind of practice is as close to real world as it gets, which means going to actual airports and picking up VIPs at said airport. Gotta learn the layout, and you gotta learn the flight pattern​. Very rarely, a fatal mistake is made like this. And its truly a tragedy for everyone on both aircraft.@@CapAnson12345

      No. It was an accident. The Blackhawk crew misidentified another aircraft and told ATC they had separation from that aircraft. If you’ve piloted an aircraft at night over a big city, you would understand.

    Guys...a helicopter is still an aircraft. They are allowed in any airspace just like airplanes are, provided they have proper clearance... again, just like airplanes. The real questions are going to be what was ATC doing because this happened in towered airspace. ATC is supposed to provide traffic safe separation. That being said, the pilot is still responsible for traffic avoidance, even in towered airspace. This was either pilot error or atc error. Possibly a combination of both.

  • @OpnDoarPlcy

    That’s a Blackhawk? A military asset being flown at 400ft directly in the path of a landing aircraft? Whoever is in charge is struggling to dig up names for the so called deceased service members. Military assets do not do anything they are not ordered to do. There is no military squadron ordering their aircraft directly into the path of civilian aircraft on a landing course. These types of accidents DO NOT HAPPEN, especially in VFR conditions. I served in Marine Corps Airfield Operations for 13 years. This doesn’t happen. There are far too many safeguards in place which prevent such incidents from occurring.

      ​@HarleyRider503 and if that helicopter was military, it was probably flying under MARSA, and ATC and the airliner possibly didn't even know it was there.
      On the helicopter side, the airliner was likely all but invisible against the background of the city lights. That's why the only aircraft that should be in a fixed wing approach pattern, is a fixed wing on approach. Helicopters have special approach procedures to large airports. Again... those procedures do not include fixed wing approach patterns.
