A 28 year old CAPTAIN who was recently a “social officer” in the Biden WH and gets the perfect assignment flying military taxis so Generals ...

Yeah, seems like she was pushed ahead beyond where she shod have been. The Biden White Hose probably put a nod in for her.

BTW. Some 500 flying hours isn't a lot over a multi-year span. She had no business, IMHO, flying that night near a busy civilian airport.

The troubling part is aide to the Biden Administration for 2 years.

And during that time, how many hours of flying did she do? That needs to be answered.

 

[excalibur]

450 hours of flight time -- but others here have noted that a helo pilot comes out of flight school with about 200 hours and those count towards total. So only 250 hours after flight school?? 4 years?

Noted in the statement the family put out, she was a "certified" "SHARP" counselor -- that stands for "Sexual Harrassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program." Has no relationship to flight proficiency.

She was also a White House Social Aid -- a voluntary program where she attended White House functions in full dress uniform as an Army Aviation representative. Again, has no relationship to flight proficiency.​

Your source is incorrect in that she was not the PIC. She was actually under instruction of the CWO2 who had more flight experience. Ranks has no authority in the cockpit.

In other words, Trump is right.

They are covering it up.

She shouldn't have been promoted to O-3 if she didn't have enough flight time to command the aircraft.

Captain is a command rank and she only has enough flight time to be a co-pilot? There's something wrong with that.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

They are covering it up.

Why would they do that?

You ever hear of the term "check ride"?

As I said, in Army aviation, rank has little meaning as almost all of the pilots are warrant officers.

I used to role play for the Army with a couple of high school students. One graduated from Texas A&M and is a 30-year-old Navy LT flying as a fixed-wing basic flight instructor pilot in Pensacola now after completing a tour as an SH-60 Seahawk pilot, which is the Navy version of the Blackhawk. Another kid graduated from high school, joined the Army enlisted and went to Warrant Officer school and then Army flight school. He is now a Blackhawk pilot as a CWO2 at MacDill AFB with SOCOM. He's about 25 years old and made two deployments overseas. If they were in the same aircraft, who is the PIC? The one listed as the PIC.

She WAS PIC, the instructor was handling Comms, that means she was PIC.

Captain is a command rank only in the Navy (and Coast Guard, I think). There, it's O-6, equivalent to full bird colonel in the other three branches.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I thought I read she was on training mission with a more experienced pilot training her.

 

[westwall]

She was, but she was still PIC. MOST aviation training is done that way.

 

[excalibur]

Why would they do that?

To begin with, DEI.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

To begin with, DEI.

If you say so!

Why would helicopters fly right into known flight paths? Not just in this instance, I mean fucking ever?
That makes no sense.

It was apparently done for years with no problems. Stay low and your good to go, I guess. Apparently, they didn't. Time will tell.

Correct. That's the question that is being asked.

who was recently a “social officer”​

When I was in the Navy, that was a junior officer with “the clap”.
