Investigators probe Washington plane crash wreckage and flight logs ...Middle East

The salvage team on Tuesday recovered part of the fuselage and right engine of the Bombardier CRJ-700 passenger jet and will retrieve the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk after the airplane has been recovered. The NTSB said it has obtained training and flight logs for both flight crews and maintenance records for both aircraft and is building histories for both flight crews. The collision occurred on Wednesday night.

“We have much more granular data from Potomac TRACON that we’re going to be able to release,“ Homendy said, referring to a Federal Aviation Administration terminal radar approach facility in Virginia.

Wreckage is being moved to Hangar 7 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Much of the Potomac River remains restricted to authorized vessels. Two of the lesser-used runways at the airport remain closed. Homendy said the NTSB also plans to look at prior near-miss incidents between helicopters and airplanes around Washington Reagan and could expand the investigation “to other areas where there’s military helicopter and air traffic.”

“We’re going to have to understand what are standard operating procedures” for a helicopter training mission, she said.

The detail suggests that the Army Black Hawk helicopter was flying above 200 feet (61 meters), the maximum altitude for the route it was using.

Data confirmed that the air traffic controller alerted the helicopter to the presence of the CRJ-700 about 2 minutes before the collision.

Meanwhile, relatives of some of the victims visited the edge of the river near the crash site on Sunday.
