It appears both the helicopter pilot and the controller didn't negotiate properly. The helicopter was flying dark (apparently a normal thing). The pilot was confused what aircraft the tower was talking about.
DEI.
There is such a tight approach line for Raegan, I find it hard to believe this is on the airline pilot. It always amazes me when I fly in there just how restricted the airspace is and how tough the approach is; why on earth the helicopter would’ve been in that lane is shocking…unless dei or terrorist, which would be my first two guesses.
Not on the AA pilot , the chopper literally ran into the plane. They aren't naming the hilo pilot but $5 bucks says it ain't Robert Carrington IV.
Are you suggesting that Abdul mohhamad el sharif is a less capable pilot?
