Breaking News. Plane crash in DC. Collided with either helicopter or drone over Potomac.

he average hourly rental rate of the Boeing 737-300 is around 17,350 USD per hour.

How much does an hour in a flight simulator cost?
$130/hr.

Dude, that's for bug smashers.

Try about $1000 an hour for heavies.

 

[Delldude]

True, but one did so with the diagnosis of the army doctor.

But Trump is hardly unique. By the time Trump received his deferment, young men from privileged backgrounds had come to expect they would be able to avoid active-duty military service. His story says less about the president as an individual than about the choices America has made as a society about who should bear the burden of military service.

What Trump’s Draft Deferments Reveal

Trump’s story is surprisingly typical of his generation—and that’s the real scandal.

Dude, if the shit hits the fan it sure does.

Wrong. Revenue flights have to meet schedules and other requirements, such as most efficient flight path, and safest practices.

Any training would deviate from those requirements.

If "she" wasn't in charge, then the fault lies with the two "white male privilege" officers. And Trumps claim of DEI involvement, vanishes, like so many of his other lies.

She was PIC. She was 200 feet above the well known hard deck, and half a mile off course.

The question is why.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

You have to consider altitude and ground lighting as a possible contribution...........this BS the aircraft was all lit up totally visible is questionable. Lots of background lighting from the ground.

The helicopter pilot had no reason to be looking at any ground lights.

Dude in an inflight situation the training takes over.

That's why it's called training.

Where you get this most efficient flight path bunk?

ATC tells them the heading to fly to and that's about it.

Didn't say they did, it can contribute to disorientation.

 

[Woodznutz]

Heard this.

Radar identified helicopter at 200 feet AGL.
Ten seconds later the crash occurred.
Jet's black box indicated 400 feet AGL at time of crash.

News at eleven.

 

[Woodznutz]

It seems that everyone reporting on this is doing gymnastics trying to avoid placing blame on anyone. My guess is that they are going to find a mechanical or electronic failure of some sort to blame it on.

This some of big type revelation for you clowns?

What's the revelation?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Didn't say they did, it can contribute to disorientation.

How, if they’re not looking at them?

 

[Delldude]

What's the revelation?

She enlisted when Trump was president...... WTF does that have to do with anything.
You implying Trump did her oath of enlistment?

Did Biden assign her to the WH?

 

[Delldude]

How, if they’re not looking at them?

Pilots have lined up for approach on Sears parking lots, interstates, etc.

At 200-300 feet it could be confusing.

 

[Delldude]

Did Biden assign her to the WH?

I thought Trump did.

 

[struth]

So you are saying the Musk appointment would be more like the way Hitler was appointed.

What was musk appointed to??

Care to quote Trump blaming the pilot error on DEI?

 

[Lisa558]

DEI is not just based on color, retard.
It's about QUALIFICATIONS and the LACK of such.

It’s the anti-American leftist agenda: Destroy Everything Intentionally.

The helicopter was heading southwest, most likely back to Ft Belvoir, just downstream a couple of miles from their current location. All approaching traffic would’ve come from their left and airport lights would be to the right. No need to look to the right at all.
