A passenger jet suddenly had to stop its landing at the Reagan National Airport due to a helicopter on the flight path, just one day before an aircraft, and a military helicopter collided catastrophically in the same airspace, where in the region.

On Tuesday evening, a Republican Airways flight in Reagan sparkled Air traffic controller. They had received a warning about “helicopter traffic among us”, which prompted the tower to say the twin jet-embraer erj 175 jet that he reports “going around”, The Washington Post.

“They had to circle because there was a helicopter on the flight path,” passenger Richard Hart told the newspaper of his experiences on the flight. “I found it strange at that time. … now I find it worryingly tragic. ”

Another flight from Charlotte to the airport had to stop on January 23 for similar reasons.

After the National Transport Safety Board, two separate recorder from the passenger plane, a flight data writer and a cockpit speaker were recovered.

According to the NTSB spokesman Todd Inman, the data recorder was “actually in what we consider as good condition” and was soaked in alcohol overnight to support the data extraction process. “We have a high degree of trust that we can get a complete download in the near future,” he said.

Information from the flight data recorder is not published immediately because the investigators have to correct up to 2,000 data records to ensure that they are synchronized, said Inman.

The cockpit language recorder had “water impression” after falling into the Potomac flow, which, according to Inman, is not unusual. “We are constantly taking care of it,” he said. “Our recorder department is one of the best in the country in the world.”

The language recorder was also soaked in ionized water overnight. At that time she was put in a vacuum oven to extract moisture. The NTSB team still checks electrical connections to determine whether they are willing to try a download.

The National Transportation Safety Board will only issue recommendations to change the rules as soon as the complete report on the incident has ended.

“As soon as this investigation report is published, we will probably work for changes for changes that have to be made,” said NTSB member Todd Inman on Friday.

“We will not speculate about what needs to be done until we have the facts,” he said, adding that this incident “should not have happened”.

The corpses of all three service members, which were located on the Black Hawk helicopter, have now been recovered from the rubble, a source that is familiar with the restoration efforts has announced CNN.
