WASHINGTON — A short runway and intersecting flight paths with
precariously close altitude requirements may have played a role in
Wednesday night’s deadly collision of an American Airlines plane and
a US Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport,
experts told The Post.
----------------------------------
The helicopter flight path reconstruction shows it closer to the
runway than the Route 4 track along the Potomac's east bank. That reconstruction may be uncertain as the helo reportedly didn't have
ADS-B accurately reporting its position and the path was determined
from less accurate older methods similar to those for the lost
Malaysian flight.
