About all Black Hawk Chopper and how it was included in Washington Crash

Washington:

A recent collision between a UH -60 Black Hawk Helicopter and an American Eagle Flight 5342 near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport has paid attention to the security records of Black Hawk. Given the “Workers” of Army Aviation, Black Hawk has been in service since 1979 and has a reputation to reliable and survive in war and transport missions.

With over 5,000 units created for 36 countries, Black Hawk is widely used for various tasks, including air strikes and relief efforts. Despite its strong track records, Black Hawk has been involved in several deadly events, including a collision during a training exercise in Kentki, killing nine soldiers.

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Darin Gob told MSNBCThat the crew of the Black Hawk, who recently involved in the collision, would not have come to know about the appearance of passenger jet, as the video footage showed that the helicopter did not change the syllabus or height before the accident. Gub also stated that the training mission was at least than usual crew prominent, which may have reduced the crew’s ability to identify potential hazards. Three chewing are usually in such missions, although on Wednesday it was one. “This is a fact,” he said. “This may affect the future. It may not happen. But it reduces the ability of the crew to identify an aircraft in the night.”

The army has abandoned another fatal incident that includes its aviation units and Apache helicopters in Alaska, except important missions after a collision in Kentki. Army chief James McConville said that stand-down was necessary to ensure that army was taking all possible precautions to prevent accidents.

A review of deadly incidents associated with Black Hawk helicopters found that 60 people died in training incidents in the last decade, in the Black Hawk, the army fleet in the army fleet has less deadly events relative to hours compared to other helicopters. The review concluded that Black Hawk is involved in much less fatal events compared to other helicopters, including AH-64 Apache and CH-47 Chinook.
